Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Simplified Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

See WP:SPOILER. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. Also, I question if it's really a spoiler anyway, since they begin to reconcile before the 1-hour mark. Ribbet32 ( talk) 20:28, 22 September 2020 (UTC) reply

The fact that Vader is Anakin Sywalker is in the first sentence of Darth Vader and that he's Luke's father is right at the top of that article. WP:SPOILER: "Spoilers are no different from any other content and should not be deleted solely because they are spoilers." Also, see WP:OTHERSTUFF - the fact that one article doesn't have something doesn't mean all other articles have to be the same. Ribbet32 ( talk) 21:25, 22 September 2020 (UTC) reply

Your recent bold edit has been reverted. Per the bold, revert, discuss cycle, after a bold edit is reverted, the status quo should remain while a discussion is started instead of edit-warring, and it should be resolved before reinstating the edit, after a needed consensus is formed to keep it.

I didn't mean to start a war with anyone, I thought we were collaborating here. That's why I took out the Mediaite source and removed the part about "joined Lemann." Why did you remove all of the text instead of adding more sources? I see it's already been added back so I suppose the opportunity is still there for us to do that. Cheers.

The point has been made that it was "inappropriate" per the network. Anything more than that would be superfluous. There are scholars weighing in on media-related news every day. We could easily inundate the article with quotes from ten op-eds on this matter if we wanted to, but that's not how BLPs work. KyleJoan ^talk 02:27, 21 May 2021 (UTC) reply

Incerto501, As I see it, I don't believe you did anything wrong here. You added neutrally-worded text from high-quality sources. Dr. Swag Lord ( talk) 03:20, 21 May 2021 (UTC) reply

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by AngusWOOF were:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

Please find external news sources that compile such a list of uses of scream. Do not cite IMDb.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

• If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:List of films featuring the Wilhelm scream and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
• If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:List of films featuring the Wilhelm scream, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{ Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
• If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
• If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, Incerto501! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.

See you there! AngusW🐶🐶F ( bark • sniff) 18:01, 23 June 2021 (UTC) reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited The Ice Road, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Fishtail. 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.)

Hi – I saw your query on Tomaten05's talk page. The reason is that American English uses the singular when talking about a band, while British English uses the plural – as a Brit myself, it doesn't sound strange to me at all to say "The Beatles are a rock band from Liverpool" or "UB40 are a reggae band from Birmingham". This is why the R.E.M. and Soundgarden pages (American bands) use "is" and the Beatles and Pink Floyd (English bands) use "are". The guideline you are looking for is MOS:PLURALS and also English plurals#Singulars with collective meaning treated as plural – hope this helps. In general you will find articles about American subjects use American English (organized, traveled, center) and articles about British, Australian and New Zealand subjects use British English (organised, travelled, centre).

Hi @ Richard3120:, thanks for the clarification and article! I've noticed that some pages use the "s" rather than "z" convention (realise, scrutinise, etc.) and the "u" in colour and favourite. I had no idea about this singular/plural convention but this makes sense. Cheers. Incerto501 ( talk) 15:12, 3 August 2021 (UTC) reply

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Fixer (person), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Michael Kelly.
