You're probably not aware of this change, but Days of the Year pages are no longer exempt from WP:V and direct sources are required for additions. For details see the content guideline, the WikiProject Days of the Year style guide or the edit notice on any DOY page. Please do not add new additions to these pages without direct sources as the burden to provide them is on the editor who adds or restores material to these pages. Thank you.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Prince (musician), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ecstasy. 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.)

Template:EpTab has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the entry on the Templates for discussion page. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:18, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
To opt out of receiving messages like this one, place {{Ds/aware}}
on your user talk page and specify in the template the topic areas that you would like to opt out of alerts about. For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on English phonology. 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:
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. Nardog (talk) 22:02, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hello! Great Mercian, you are invited to the Teahouse, a forum on Wikipedia for new editors to ask questions about editing Wikipedia, and get support from peers and experienced editors. Please join us! Liz Read! Talk! 05:04, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply] |
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Timeline of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine: phase 4 until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

Hello Great Mercian, I've just discovered that in January you created (as a redirection) a page, Coat of arms of Catalonia, that had been previously deleted. The reason for deleting the page, which had no opposition in the discussion, is simply that Catalonia doesn't have a coat of arms, and furthermore, if it had one it would be preposterous that it was the same as that of the kings of Aragón, a different territory (You can find more about the subject in this discussion). Therefore, I urge you to delete the page yourself. Thank you. Jotamar (talk) 22:12, 23 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know how it could be used as the de facto coat of arms of Catalonia. What you don't seem to grasp is that the colours of the coat of arms (alternating yellow and red stripes) were appropriated, so to speak, by Catalan nationalism in the 19th century, as main symbol for their nation. Since then, everything related to Catalonia features prominently those colours, which appear in about everything that you can think of, from sweaters to pastry, and of course someone could easily have had the idea of including the colours in a shield, in any sort of personal document, for historical effect, but that is a marginal use not to be taken seriously. --Jotamar (talk) 21:47, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
About the word country, I was translating Catalan/Spanish país, which apparently is not a perfect match in meaning, since país doesn't necessarily imply nation. Though of course for Catalan nationalists Catalonia is both a país and a nation. --Jotamar (talk) 21:47, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There is currently a Request Move discussion about William IV. Since you participated in the previous move discussion involving William IV, I thought you might want to know about this one. Cheers. Rreagan007 (talk) 19:36, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
