October 2022

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages. I noticed a recent edit you made does not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits a summary may be quite brief.

The edit summary field looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Misplaced Pages account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary, and then click the "Save" button. Thanks! SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 21:21, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I'm SNUGGUMS. Misplaced Pages is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Misplaced Pages articles. Doing so violates Misplaced Pages's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Using things like "many well-known films and television series" comes off as promotional, and "impressive discography" is fully subjective. Please refrain from inserting such language.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Selena Gomez. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. MPFitz1968 (talk) 16:02, 15 October 2022 (UTC)

November 2022

Please do not use styles that are nonstandard, unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in Selena Gomez. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Encyclopedias are written with complete sentences. Events that happened years ago are written in past tense. There is no one named "Haley" Bieber. Sundayclose (talk) 15:04, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for November 21

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of awards and nominations received by Meghan Trainor, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Jill Scott. 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.)

Selena Gomez discography

This has to be the silliest threat I've read in a while. I presume you meant "If you delete this information, I will tell an admin". Oh no! Seriously, please do—they won't care. Those two other sources merely repeated the claims made in Apple's article. We don't need three sources to say one thing. Also, in future, respect WP:BRD. If a user reverts something added by another user, neither you nor they should be restoring it. Also, you don't own Gomez's discography, so don't speak like you do. You have 829 edits, registered to the website five months ago and most of your edits have been to Gomez's articles. You're basically a stan of a pop singer that just got here and you're already making silly threats to experienced editors like "I will inform on you" because they reverted an IP editor adding information about Gomez's sales and streams in the wrong place. Please develop some perspective. Ss112 00:23, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
