Hello. I wanted to let you know that in your recent contributions toArticle, you seemed to act as if you were the owner of the page. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to Wikipedia. This means that editorsdo not own articles, including ones they create, and should respect the work of their fellow contributors. If you create or edit an article, remember that others are free to change its content. Take a look at thewelcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.
Please do not assumeownership of articles as you did atArticle. If you aren't willing to allow your contributions to be edited extensively or be redistributed by others, please do not submit them. Thank you.
Welcome to Wikipedia. Editors are expected to treat each other with respect and civility.

Please stop. If you continue to assume bad faith when dealing with other editors, as you did atArticle, you may beblocked from editing. Assume that they are here to improve rather than harm Wikipedia.
Hello, I'm [[User:{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}|{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}]]. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) persononArticle, but you didn't support your changes with acitation to a reliable source.

Changing pronouns of trans/non-binary BLP subjects
Hello, I'mThepharoah17. I noticed that you changed the personal pronouns of an individual in the articleArticle.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, discussion pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did atArticle, is consideredbad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at thewelcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.
Please do notdelete or alter legitimate talk page comments from other editors, as you did atArticle. Such edits are disruptive, and may appear to other editors to bevandalism. If you would like to experiment, please use thesandbox. Thank you.

Hello, I'mThepharoah17. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added toArticle have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. Take a look at ourguidelines about external links. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message onmy talk page. Thank you.
Please do not add inappropriateexternal links to Wikipedia, as you did toArticle.Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. Seethe external links guideline andspam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses thenofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you.
You may beblocked from editing without further warning the next time you insert aspam link, as you did atArticle. Persistent spammers may have their websitesblacklisted, preventing anyone from linking to them from allWikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively, please note thatwe do not use euphemisms (such aspassed away in place ofdied) in Wikipedia articles. This is part of theManual of Style, and should be followed to maintain aneutral point of view and consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style by adding euphemisms, as you did inArticle, disturbs uniformity among articles. Please take a look at thewelcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.
Hello. Some of your recentgenre changes, such as the one you made toArticle, have conflicted with ourneutral point of view and/orverifiability policies. While we invite all users to contribute constructively to Wikipedia, we urge all editors to providereliable sources for edits made. When others disagree, we recommend you seekconsensus for certain edits by discussing the matter on the article's talk page. Thank you.
Please refrain from adding, removing orchanging genres, as you did toArticle, without providing asource or establishing aconsensus on the article's talk page first. Genre changes to suit your ownpoint of view are considereddisruptive. Thank you.
Welcome to Wikipedia. Unfortunately, content you added toArticle appears to be aminority or fringe viewpoint, and appears to have givenundue weight to this minority viewpoint, and has been reverted. To maintain aneutral point of view, an idea that is not broadly supported by scholarship in its field must not be given undue weight in an article about a mainstream idea. Feel free to use the article'stalk page to discuss this, and take a look at thewelcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.
Please do not insertfringe orundue weight content into articles, as you did toArticle. An article should not give undue weight to any aspects of the subject but should strive to treat each aspect with a weight appropriate to its significance to the subject. Please use the article'stalk page to discuss the material and its appropriate weight within the article. Thank you.
Please stop. If you continue to insert fringe or undue weight content into articles, as you did atArticle, you may beblocked from editing. Articles on Wikipedia do not givefringe material equal weight to majority viewpoints; content in articles are given representationin proportion to their prominence.
Hello, I'mThepharoah17. I wanted to let you know that one or more ofyour recent contributions toArticle have been undone because they appeared to begaming the system. Gaming the system is defined as misusing Wikipedia'spolicies for personal advantage at the expense of other editors. Wikipedia policies exist to support constructive collaboration, not to be used tactically to disrupt or"win" disputes. Gaming the system is easily spotted and your contributions are always public.
Examples of gaming the system may include, but are not limited to:
Wikilawyering — excessively literal or selective interpretation of policies to sidestep their intent
Cherry-picking wording from a policy to support a view that does not in fact match with or comply with policy
Repeatedly pushing a viewpoint with which the communityconsensus clearly does not agree
Gaslighting — such as rewriting history or denying clear evidence of prior actions
Abuse of process, including but not limited to gaming of theAfC process (ex: removing the record of previous reviews)
Deliberately reverting another editor's edits in one article in retaliation for a dispute elsewhere
Making unconstructive or trivial edits to raise youruser access level
You can find more details on gaming the system, including more examples of potentially problematic behavior, atWikipedia:Gaming the system. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at theTeahouse or theHelp desk, or reach out to me at my talk page. Thanks.
Please refrain from using Wikipedia's policies and procedures in a disruptive manner, as you did atArticle. Your edits appear to constitutegaming the system and have beenreverted. "Gaming the system" refers to misusing Wikipedia’s policies, processes, or norms to gain an advantage rather than to collaborate constructively. Examples include policy cherry-picking, pushing rejected viewpoints, retaliatory editing, or abusing procedural tools (likeAfD,AfC, orRfCs) to exhaust or sideline other editors. If you are unsure how to appropriately apply Wikipedia’s guidelines, you are encouraged to ask at theTeahouse or theHelp desk. Repeated gaming the system may result in theloss of editing privileges. Thank you.
Hello, I'mThepharoah17. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, it's important to be mindful of the feelings of your fellow editors, who may be frustrated by certain types of interaction, such as your addition toArticle. While you probably didn't intend any offense, please do remember that Wikipedia strives to be an inclusive atmosphere. In light of that, it would be greatly appreciated if you could moderate yourself so as not to offend. Thank you.
Please be careful about what you say to people. Some remarks, such as your addition toArticle can easily be misinterpreted, or viewed asharassment. Wikipedia is a supportive environment, where contributors should feel comfortable and safe while editing. Thank you.
Please stop. If you continue to violate Wikipedia'sharassment policy, as you did atArticle, you may beblocked from editing. Wikipedia aims to provide a safe environment for its collaborators, and harassing other users potentially compromises that safe environment.
This is youronly warning; if you purposefully and blatantlyharass other editors again, as you did atArticle, you may beblocked from editing without further notice.

Hello, I'mThepharoah17. An edit that you recently made toArticle seemed to be generated using alarge language model (an "AI chatbot" or other application using such technology). Text produced by these applications is usuallyunsuitable for an encyclopedia, and may contain factually inaccurate statements, fictitious citations, or other problems. You should instead readreliable sources and then summarize those in your own words. Your edit may have beenreverted. If you want to practice editing, please use thesandbox.

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is aManual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did inArticle, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems.

Hello, I'mThepharoah17. I noticed that you recently made an edit toArticle in which your edit summary did not appear to describe the change you made. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurateedit summary. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message onmy talk page. Thanks.
Please stop. If you continue to make edits with misleading or inaccurateedit summaries, even if unintentional, as you did atArticle, you may beblocked from editing.
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved, as you did toArticle, without good reason. They should have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. Wikipedia has someguidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name does not follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed,consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use thetest Wikipedia. Take a look at thewelcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.
Please do not move a page to a title that is harder to follow, or move it unilaterally againstnaming conventions orconsensus, as you did toArticle. This includes making page moves while a discussion remains underway. We have someguidelines to help with deciding what title is best for a subject. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use thetest Wikipedia. Thank you.
Hello, I'm [[User:{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}|{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}]]. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have aneutral point of view. Your recent edit toArticle 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 [[User_talk:{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}|my talk page]]. Thank you.
Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did toArticle. Doing so violates Wikipedia'sneutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you.
Hello, I'mThepharoah17. I noticed that you removed topically relevant content fromArticle. However,Wikipedia is not censored. Please do not remove or censor information that directly relates to the subject of the article, even if the content is negative or offensive in nature.

Hello, I'mThepharoah17, andwelcome to Wikipedia. I appreciateyour contributions, but in one of your recent edits toArticle, it appears that you addedoriginal research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompassescombining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite areliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at thetutorial on citing sources. Thank you.
You may beblocked from editing without further warning the next time you violate Wikipedia'sno original research policy by inserting unpublished information or your personal analysis into an article, as you did atArticle.
Hello Template index/User talk namespace. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made toArticle, gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia'smandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category ofconflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being employed (or being compensated in any way) by a person, group, company or organization to promote their interests.Paid advocacy on Wikipedia must be disclosed even if you have not specifically been asked to edit Wikipedia. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies onneutral point of view and whatWikipedia is not and is an especially serious type of COI; theWikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin toblack-hat search-engine optimization.
Paid advocates are strongly discouraged from direct article editing and should instead propose changes on thetalk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through thearticles for creation process, rather than directly.
Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you arerequired by theWikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page atUser:Template index. The template{{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:{{paid|user=Template index/User talk namespace|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case,do not edit further until you answer this message.
As previously advised, your edits, such as the edit you made toArticle, give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia'smandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with themandatory requirements under theWikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page atUser:Template index, and the template{{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:{{paid|user=Template index/User talk namespace|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. Pleaserespond before making any other edits to Wikipedia.
You still have not adequately responded or taken action to the inquiry regarding your appearance as an undisclosed paid editor. If you make any additional edits without complying, you may beblocked from editing.
You may beblocked from editing without further warning if you make any further edits without responding to the inquiry you received regarding undisclosed paid editing.
This is youronly warning; if you make any further edits without responding to the inquiry you received regardingundisclosed paid editing, you may beblocked from editing without further notice.

Hello, and thank you foryour contributions toWikipedia. I noticed that you recently added commentary to an article,Article. While Wikipedia welcomes editors' opinions on an article and how it could be changed, these comments belong on the article's accompanyingtalk page. If you post your comments there, othereditors working on the same article will notice and may respond to them, and your comments will not disrupt the flow of the article. However, keep in mind that even on the talk page of an article, you should limit your discussion to improving the article.Article talk pages are not the place to discuss opinions of the subject of articles, nor are such pages a forum. Thank you.
Please do not add commentary to articles, as you did atArticle. Doing so violates Wikipedia'sneutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. If you would like to discuss the article, please useTalk:Article. Thank you.
