Disambiguation link notification for August 14

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Russian National Unity, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Russian Orthodoxy. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Your edit in Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi

Thanks for you recent edit. I see you entered the footnote for this edit as a bare URL. Could you write it in Misplaced Pages's customary way, please, the using cite-web or cite-news template? If you don't know how to do this there are instructions at at 3.1, or you can follow this (it's very simple): first put the cursor at the point in the edit text where you want the footnote to go, then click "Cite" in the edit strip at the top of the Edit Page, then click "Template" at the left, choose "cite web" or "cite news" and a box comes up, fill in the details of the citation, then click "Preview" and "Show parsed preview" to see it looks right (you can go back and correct anything by just correcting the box entries and then click those two "Previews" again), then click "Insert" and the citation automatically goes into the text at the point where the cursor is. Thanks. --P123ct1 (talk) 07:19, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

Taliban

Is there a reason you keep removing the United States flag from the infobox, or was it again an accident? Vanamonde93 (talk) 07:33, 17 August 2014 (UTC)

August 2014

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Mohammed Omar may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "{}"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

ISIS

Thanks for your edit in the ISIS article yesterday. Could you fill in the other details of the footnote, please? The date and author of the article are missing. Also, could you keep the date format consistent with the footnotes generally, i.e. "21 August 2014", not "21st"? You said Hagel's statement was in answer to a question that referred to the September 11 attacks, but that part is not in the "Financial Times" article. Perhaps you had a second citation in mind for that? It will definitely need one. I didn't want to revert you without asking you about this first. --P123ct1 (talk) 08:22, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

Sorry, I left it on the wrong Userpage. You can erase this from your page if you like; I'm sure that would be okay.. --P123ct1 (talk) 09:09, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

Taliban again.

Why do you persist in changing "sex slavery" to "slavery" when the former is sourced, without mentioning the change in your edit summary, without providing an explanation, and masking your removal by adding a lot of spaces in the infobox? Vanamonde93 (talk) 11:48, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

ISIS are Kharijites?

On this, I reverted not so much you, as you obviously had your doubts, as the first person who reverted the addition of "Sunni Islamism" to the infobox yesterday - see Talk page #"ISIS and Sunni". --P123ct1 (talk) 14:35, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
