[edit]

Hello, I'm JPxG. I noticed that in this edit to Henry Lascelles, 4th Earl of Harewood, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. 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. jp×g 00:03, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hello, I'm Sumanuil. Thank you for your recent contributions to Mater Christi College. I noticed that you added an image to the article's infobox as a thumbnail. In future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox, as this is against the Manual of Style. When adding an image, supply only the filename to the |image= parameter and the caption to the |caption= parameter instead. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using; please consult the Template page for the infobox being used on that page for proper instructions and documentation. Thanks! - Sumanuil. (talk to me) 01:54, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page David Blackburn (Royal Navy officer), may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:

  • A "bare URL and missing title" error. References show this error when they do not have a title. Please edit the article to add the appropriate title parameter to the reference. (Fix | Ask for help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, Qwerfjkl (bot) (talk) 23:30, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Help Desk questions

[edit]

You seem to regularly be asking questions like WP:HD#Richard Dawson (1855–1923) at the Wikipedia Help Desk without expressing any interest in how the problems you're running across are being fixed. Your posts always seem to include something along the lines of "I cannot fix this" even though a lot of these problems aren't new to you per se but are things you've come across before. For sure, the Help Desk is a place to ask questions, but you seem to be taking that to the extreme regarding things that by now you should be able to figure out on your own.

The ins and outs of Wikipedia editing can be hard to understand, particularly for new users, but you're no longer a newbie in my opinion. Nobody expects you to know everything, but these are all the Help Desk questions asked by this IP account since February 2021 and many of them are repeat questions. Everyone, even editors who have made hundreds of thousands of edits spanning ten or more years, makes mistakes and that's OK; what's generally expected of us, however, is that we at least learn from our mistakes and exhibit a degree of competence more reflective of our experience as Wikipedia editors.

It seems (at least to me) that you've been treating the Help Desk as a crutch (i.e. a sort of personal cleanup service) instead of as a learning tool to gain a better understanding of how Wikipedia works and how to figure things out when it's not working as expected. I personally think you'll find editing Wikipedia much more enjoyable in many ways if you made more of an effort to better understand why these errors are happening, how to fix them when they do and how to stop them from happening in the first place. -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:56, 17 May 2024 (UTC); [Note: Post edited by Marchjuly to add a missing "out" (underlined) to the first sentence of the last paragraph. -- 05:04, 28 May 2024 (UTC)][reply]

Thanks for your insight and you are correct, I think, perhaps I have used the tool as a "crutch". I am learning. 115.70.23.77 (talk) 23:14, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You say you're learning, but you haven't really showed down with the question asking (most likely using multiple accounts), creating redundant threads and editing while logged out, have you? These are all things that eventually others are going to stop ignoring and start wondering as to why you're not listening when being asked to avoid such things. -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:45, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'd reiterate these comments. 331dot (talk) 01:02, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
