Hi Burvegas. Don't worry. You are not in any trouble here but I do want to ask you to be a bit more careful when editing. When you edited Sam Smith you changed some spellings from UK English to US English. That is not appropriate for that particular article as it uses UK English. Articles can use either but we should be consistent within each article. Normally we use US English for articles about North American subjects and UK English for articles about British subjects. You are also changing the quote styles. That's not necessary, and it must be a lot of work, so I recommend not to do that. Finally, you changed some gender pronouns. I assume that was a mistake. Smith uses they/them pronouns so the grammar was correct before. I've put the article back to the way it was before but please don't be discouraged. Wikipedia is complicated and it is normal to make a few mistakes when getting started. DanielRigal (talk) 14:43, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
I have reverted your edits to Kay Parker because they changed the dates away from the preferred date format. Parker was British, so the British date format—day month year—should be used in the article. —C.Fred (talk) 11:38, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
Please do not use styles that are nonstandard, unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in The Andy Griffith Show. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Not only did your edits break the logical quotation marks standard, but they added a curly quotation mark, which should not be used. —C.Fred (talk) 01:08, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
((ping|username))
. For example, ((ping|ButlerBlog))
would ping me, thus notifying me of your response. You can also ask questions in the Tea House (WP:TEA). That's the place to ask questions and learn. ButlerBlog (talk) 13:13, 18 March 2023 (UTC) Please stop your disruptive editing.
If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at John McLiam, you may be blocked from editing. Not only are you using improper punctuation, but now you're introducing spelling inconsistencies. —C.Fred (talk) 01:16, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you make disruptive edits to Wikipedia contrary to the Manual of Style, as you did at Kat Stewart. —C.Fred (talk) 21:34, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you make disruptive edits to Wikipedia contrary to the Manual of Style, as you did at Barbara Perry (actress). Please follow the Wikipedia Manual of Style which dictates we are to use logical punctuation at all times for all articles. SQGibbon (talk) 20:58, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
Once again, please follow MOS:LQ. That style covers all subject matters and we do not change it depending on the nationality of the subject. SQGibbon (talk) 05:56, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Draft:Lance McCrickard requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.metv.com/stories/goober-pyle-got-his-very-own-forgotten-spin-off-show-in-the-late-seventies. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Please stop. If you continue to use disruptive, inappropriate or hard-to-read formatting, as you did at Marineland of the Pacific, you may be blocked from editing. There is a Wikipedia Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. You've been told this over and over and over again. Please stop imposing your chosen style over the consensus style of Wikipedia. SQGibbon (talk) 05:57, 16 September 2023 (UTC)
