Hello Sonic5421, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Thomas & Friends: The Great Race has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. SummerPhDv2.0 03:17, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
Thank you, and I appreciate the information regarding what I did was wrong and not properly cited. I'll avoid doing something like this again in the future, but I would appreciate if any users can provide the necessary information for the plot for Thomas & Friends: The Great Race in little bits to avoid a repetition like this later on.
Again, thanks and sorry for any problems I might have caused with my editing. Sonic5421 (talk) 04:36, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
Regarding Thomas & Friends: The Great Race, please read the guideline at WP:FILMPLOT which sets an upper limit on plot size. If you can rewrite the plot to be only 700 words that would be great. Excessive detail is not good for Wikipedia; it keeps the reader from finishing the article—stops them from getting all the way through. Summarize the main points.
I use an online word count tool to keep track. There are several available... Try https://wordcounter.net/ and see how that goes. Binksternet (talk) 00:00, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for the information. I'll look it over and see if there's anything I can summarize to cut down on words so there's not as many as before. I can't guarantee I'll be able to do so myself since I might be unsure what to summarize. Sonic5421 (talk) 00:09, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process.

This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

Hello, I'm TJRC. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Blue Angels, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Also, please be careful not to use POV wording such as "tragic" (much as I agree with your assessment); and do not mark non-minor additions as minor (see WP:MINOR).

Hello! Sonic5421,
I noticed your article was declined at Articles for Creation, and that can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! joe deckertalk 17:49, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply about my draft. I understand if it was not accepted because of certain circumstances like lack of sufficient references and sources. Next time I try, I'll make sure to provide more sufficient information so it will be accepted when I submit a revised, and fresh, draft of it. Again, thanks for the info. Sonic5421 (talk) 23:14, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:To Where and Back Again, a page you created, has not been edited in 5 months. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace.
If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.
You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.
If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13.
Thank you for your attention. HasteurBot (talk) 21:15, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
Please note that multiple changes of wording to plot descriptions are not minor. You should try to be more accurate in describing the editing you do, as at Babe (film). In any case, plots are meant to be brief and don't need to be filled with the kind of unnecessary detail you seem to favour. I note that you have already been told to acquaint yourself with guidelines on this. I hope you will do so. Mzilikazi1939 (talk) 12:15, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
Sorry about that. I'll try to be more general and less discrete in future edits so I don't add so much detail like before. Appreciate the advice. Thanks. Sonic5421 (talk) 12:58, 26 September 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I'm SummerPhDv2.0. I noticed that you made one or more changes to an article, Thomas & Friends (franchise), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. SummerPhDv2.0 22:21, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
Sorry about that. I provided the red link because of the latest Thomas & Friends special debuting later this year, and I figured at some point that someone would create the article for it before the debut. I can always go back in and adjust it again in a few months once the special and the next season debut. Sonic5421 (talk) 23:36, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page National Guard (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Crap, I should have been more specific as I was referring to the news group when I was making that edit. Sorry about that. I'll fix it ASAP. Sonic5421 (talk) 15:01, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
Hello, I'm STATicVapor. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Kevin Owens, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. StaticVapor message me! 07:34, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
Sorry about that. I was just providing info on what I saw last night on "Smackdown" regarding Owens and Shane and the story that WWE had put together regarding them. If you want, I can double-check WWE.com or YouTube for proper information and sources. Sonic5421 (talk) 13:17, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
Hello. I wanted to let you know that your recent edit(s) to the Back to the Future plot summary have been removed because they added a significant amount of unnecessary detail. Please avoid excessive detail and high word counts when editing plot summaries/synopses. You may read the plot summary edit guides to learn more about contributing constructively to plot summaries/synopses. There are also specific guidelines for films, musicals, television episodes, anime/manga, novels and non-fiction books. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. DonIago (talk) 19:38, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
Alright, thanks for the info. I'll be more careful with my edits if it seems to be too much detail necessary for the article. Sonic5421 (talk) 22:59, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
Hi - your choice of wording in your recent edit of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramstein_Air_Base sounds strange.
Particularly things like: were given food, shelter, recreation, and many other things that they had enjoyed in the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan thanks to the U.S. and NATO.
Please keep your edits concise, your wording factual, in a matter-of-fact encyclopedic style and avoid subtly opinionated choice of words. Especially in matters that concern politics.
Please do not add or change content, as you did at Vladimir Putin, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. General Ization Talk 04:30, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
Please do not add or change content, as you did at Timeline of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. —
