[edit] Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at User talk:Bonadea. 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.
Don't post fake block messages please, and the comment was nonsensical – a vandal revert I did 13 years ago? It's fine to test things, but please use a sandbox for that.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to delete or edit legitimate talk page comments, as you did at User talk:Bbik, you may be blocked from editing.

Disambiguation link notification for April 17
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of mountain passes, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The Divide (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.) It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 14:28, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

[edit] Please stop making test edits to Wikipedia, as you did to Adam Alsing. It is considered vandalism, which, under Wikipedia policy, can lead to being blocked from editing. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. I don't actually know whether you seriously thought that the hatnote would be helpful to Wikipedia's readers, but it was really rather nonsensical.

Refer to WP:HATNOTERULES, where it advises that there is a reasonable possibility of a reader arriving at the article either by mistake or with another topic in mind.
Regards.

Okay, please stop the block threats.
CityOfSails2 (talk) 23:46, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
A title like Joe Brown (climber) generally does not need a hatnote per WP:NAMB. The title is not ambiguous, and a reader is not likely to end up there wanting someone other than the climber.

Seems your recent move of Aeronautics to Aeronaut was rather a dumb move: Aeronaut is a "traveler in a hot-air balloon, airship, or other flying craft." per Google. I would suggest that you should undo that move. Sorry 'bout that. Vsmith (talk) 15:50, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
STOP NOW
[edit]Please stop moving pages without consensus. I am reverting all of them. Start page move discussions if you think your suggestions have merit. WWGB (talk) 03:41, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
- You have moved dozens of contentious articles in controversial moves. Please go back and undo all your moves and get consensus. Consider this a final warning. Praxidicae (talk) 13:19, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

[edit] Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at Shrinkage, you may be blocked from editing.
You removed a link to a Wikipedia article with the edit summary "No sexual information on Wikipedia!". This is incorrect. Wikipedia does not censor "sexual" content (in addition, the link you removed is not "sexual content"). If you think that Human penis size should not be linked from Shrinkage, please go to Talk:Shrinkage and make your case there, but frankly, it makes every kind of logical sense to have that link there. bonadea contributions talk 08:28, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

CityOfSails2, I'd like to take this opportunity to ask you to be a bit more careful when you edit. In addition to making more of those unexplained page moves that resulted in several final warnings (I'm guessing that's the immediate reason why you were blocked), your edits over the last day or two include a number of non-constructive edits:
- creating Horky Borky as a redirect to Traffic congestion
- removing part of a source title with the rationale "only English in English Wikipedia", which is not a general rule and in this case does not make sense – when a book has a title that is partly in French, that should not be removed, and there are many other valid uses of non-English text as well
- removing content from another user's user page with no rationale, and no possible valid reason for doing so
- making a number of spelling changes that changed a correct spelling to an incorrect one – it looks like you simply assumed that a different word was intended, and changed the spelling without looking at what you were doing:
- changing the spelling of an Arabic name, Banu abd al-Haqq, to "Banu and al-Haqq"
- changing the spelling of a Spanish word, Bádmiton which was part of a source title, to "Bádminton"
- changing a French term (Baïse) in several places to "Biased" which is not only incorrect but nonsensical in the context
- changing the phrase Soul Calibur to "Soul Caliber" in an article where the first sentence explains that the subject is part of "...the Soulcalibur series of weapon-based fighting games." (And if you thought it was a spelling error, it is odd that you would change only one instance, in one of the reference titles, leaving 14 other instances of Soul Calibur.)
- changing the spelling of the title of an essay where the source confirms the previous spelling – which is not correct English, but it is what the source says. (Maybe the source in fact misspelt the original title, but we have no other sources than this one, since the essay itself was published in a museum catalogue that's not readily available. So we do have to go by what this source says.)
- changing the spelling of a name in a reference – the reference link was dead, but checking Archive.org confirms that the journalist's last name is Bacome, not "Become"
- changing the spelling of the name Carl-Hugo Calander to "Carl-Hugo Calendar" – there is no article about him so the existing Wikilink was a redlink, and I have an unfair advantage in that I recognised the name of the Swedish actor, but even so it is really important to double check when you think a name is misspelt.
This is a substantial list, but even so it does not include all the less than constructive changes you made recently. I am sure that you are editing in good faith so these are not vandal edits, but it is still disruptive when you create extra work for other editors, who need to go through all your edits to check which ones will need to be changed back – because you have also made constructive changes and fixed actual misspellings. Please take this to heart and be careful not to make these kinds of edits without thinking twice and checking what is correct. That takes a lot more time than simply changing a spelling you don't recognise – but it means that you won't introduce errors into articles. And the kind of detective work that goes into finding out what the actual spelling should be, if it is a misspelling or not, can be rather satisfying as well, or so I find.

Speedy deletion nomination of Nieuw Zeeland
[edit]![](http://up.wiki.x.io/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/1d/Information_icon4.svg/48px-Information_icon4.svg.png)
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Nieuw Zeeland requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2014 June 13. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 07:25, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
