Information icon Hello, I'm Centcom08. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Thor: Love and Thunder, 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 referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Centcom08 (talk) 04:28, 10 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Welcome to Wikipedia!

Welcome Wcdowchb!
Hello Wcdowchb. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions!

I'm Sm8900, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge.

Some pages of helpful information to get you started:
  Introduction to Wikipedia
  The five pillars of Wikipedia
  Editing tutorial
  How to edit a page
  Simplified Manual of Style
  The basics of Wikicode
  How to develop an article
  How to create an article
  Help pages
  What Wikipedia is not
Some common sense Dos and Don'ts:
  Do be bold
  Do assume good faith
  Do be civil
  Do keep cool!
  Do maintain a neutral point of view
  Don't spam
  Don't infringe copyright
  Don't edit where you have a conflict of interest
  Don't commit vandalism
  Don't get blocked
If you need further help, you can:
  Ask a question
or you can:
  Get help at the Teahouse
or even:
  Ask an experienced editor to "adopt" you

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{Help me}} here on your talk page and someone will try to help.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:
  Fight vandalism
  Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome
  Help contribute to articles
  Perform maintenance tasks
           
  Become a member of a project that interests you
  Help design new templates
  Subscribe and contribute to The Signpost
  Translate articles from Wikipedias in other languages

To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.

Please remember to:

  • Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes ~~~~ at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to your talk page, and a timestamp.
  • Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.
The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!

Warning icon Please stop. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Ingemar Stenmark, you may be blocked from editing. TylerBurden (talk) 02:44, 15 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

You're correct that I neglected to add a source; that's my mistake. However, that was a good faith edit; there's no need to get threatening. By the way, the article is out of date. Mikaela Shiffrin did surpass his record. Wcdowchb (talk) 03:29, 15 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
It would not be such a stern notice if you hadn't been warned for doing this multiple times before. TylerBurden (talk) 22:09, 15 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

CS1 error on 2023–24 NBA season

edit

Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page 2023–24 NBA season, 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) 02:55, 27 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Removal

edit

Hello, I noticed that you removed an accurate piece of information from the Timeline of geopolitical changes (2000–present) about the Alliance of Sahel States and was wondering the reason for the removal? A valid source was provided. Brokenalarmclock (talk) 23:31, 15 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello, I don't think it fits the parameters of the page. It's not a change in territory or geographical name. Wcdowchb (talk) 02:06, 16 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hello, the joining of Sweden into NATO or the Transitional Government change in Haiti were also not explicit territorial changes to the world map, but they are still listed on the page and have been for months. If you would like a page that explicitly only allows border/territorial/geographical name changes on it's list, I highly recommend List of national border changes (1914–present). Have a great day/night! Brokenalarmclock (talk) 02:14, 16 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
That's a fair point. You as well! Wcdowchb (talk) 02:17, 16 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:32, 13 March 2025 (UTC)Reply

Hello, the information seemed redundant to me. The countries listed are already in each entry in the table, and the continents information had previously been listed but it was decided to remove it in the past.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited 2026 Cleveland Browns season, a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tommy Rees was added. 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.)
