Hello, I'm
Doug Weller. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article,
Proslavery, but you didn't provide a
reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to
include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the
tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on
my talk page. We can't use editors' knowledge or experience.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved, as you did to
New Mexican Spanish, without good reason. They should have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. Wikipedia has some
guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't 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 the
test Wikipedia. Take a look at the
welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. I wanted to send a personal message to let you know I reverted your moves of New Mexican Spanish and Talk: New Mexican Spanish because they introduced errors in the name of the state of New Mexico. New Mexico nor New Mexican have hyphens in those proper names, so the hyphens should not have been added. There is no state in the U.S. called New-Mexico, just like there is no New-York. Next time you decide do a move like this, please ask first on the article talk page to get consensus. This probably should have also happened with the other article you moved,
People watching. You might want to change that one back, then get consensus before making such a move. Thank you.

I am not, by no means, in charge of the article. However, that sounds like it could be controversial. Why don't you leave a message on the article's talk page asking for permission?

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Long Island serial killer, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Amazon. 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.)

Hey, hey! Many moons ago we spoke about improving On the Consolation of Philosophy. That's kinda been on the back-burner for me, since I'm currently working on my dissertation, but I was wondering if you were still interested in the idea? Here in a few months, I'm hoping to have more time to devote to these sorts of projects, and this is near the top of my list.-- Gen. Quon [Talk] (I'm studying Wikipedia!) 13:27, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
Your efforts to delete User:Lightbreather/Kaffeeklatsch were reverted. Please leave it be--plenty of users have been keeping an eye on that editor's work for long enough, so trust me when I say it's best left alone. Thank you, Drmies ( talk) 00:53, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
