Hello, I'm MrX. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Covfefe have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse. Thanks. - MrX 🖋 23:37, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

September 2020

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at 2028 Summer Olympics. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. ViperSnake151 Talk 21:20, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Your edit summaries are often a rewording of the article title and do not actually seem to impart any information ViperSnake151 Talk 21:25, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Problem with your custom signature

You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.

The problem: Your preferences are set to interpret your custom signature as wikitext. However, your current custom signature does not contain any wikitext.

The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.

Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:

Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
Remove anything in the Signature: text box. (It might already be empty.)
Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "Restore all default settings" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)

Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:

Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page.

More information about custom signatures is available at Wikipedia:Signatures#Customizing how everyone sees your signature. If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Signatures. 19:04, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

Daily Mail reference at List of nicknames used by Donald Trump

Hi. Please do not use the Daily Mail as you did at List of nicknames used by Donald Trump. It is not a reliable source. See WP:DAILYMAIL. Kind regards, Robby.is.on (talk) 23:12, 6 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Edits to List of nicknames used by Donald Trump

I noticed you're still adding nicknames to this list. I was wondering if you'd be willing to work with me on some inclusion criteria, given that we have significantly different opinions on what should be added to the article. About a year ago I asked on the talk page and tried to ping you. [1] Since you didn't engage with that (and have never contributed to a talk page before) I was hoping this message might get your attention and that you'd be willing to discuss your additions here, instead. Chess (talk) (please use {{reply to|Chess}} on reply) 09:03, 28 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Since you didn't respond to this, I went ahead and proposed the inclusion criteria in an RfC to firmly establish consensus. If you don't want to engage with the RfC that's fine, but you should be aware that you'll be bound by it if consensus is to implement the inclusion criteria. This may result in you being blocked if you keep adding nicknames without engaging in any discussion about the nicknames you're adding.

New message from Chess

You are invited to join the discussion at Talk:List of nicknames used by Donald Trump § RfC on inclusion criteria. Since you've been heavily involved in adding nicknames to the list I thought you'd might like to comment at the RfC.

June 2021

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.

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.

Update on List of nicknames used by Donald Trump

Given that most of your edits consist of adding nicknames to the aforementioned list, I thought I'd inform you that the requests for comment on inclusion criteria went through. Please check out Talk:List of nicknames used by Donald Trump#RfC on inclusion criteria for the new inclusion criteria for the list and ensure that your edits follow it in the future. Feel free to respond here or on my talk page if you have any further questions. Chess (talk) (please use {{reply to|Chess}} on reply) 02:35, 18 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Stop adding badly sourced nicknames

Your recent edit [2] to List of nicknames used by Donald Trump added the nickname "choirboy". This was not described as a nickname by the source in which it was used. Stop spamming the list with non-nicknames. The next time you ignore consensus like this there'll be an WP:AN/I discussion. Chess (talk) (please use {{reply to|Chess}} on reply) 01:52, 5 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You've been alerted several times before to these criteria and had a chance to participate in the discussions surrounding them. You're not using a phone, so I know you can see these messages. Chess (talk) (please use {{reply to|Chess}} on reply) 01:59, 5 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
