Information icon Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 10:42, 29 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Weekly Shōnen Jump. Your edits continue to constitute vandalism and have been automatically reverted.

  • If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Note that human editors do monitor recent changes to Wikipedia articles, and administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism.
  • ClueBot NG makes very few mistakes, but it does happen. If you believe the change you made should not have been considered as unconstructive, please read about it, report it here, remove this warning from your talk page, and then make the edit again.
  • If you need help, please see our help pages, and if you can't find what you are looking for there, please feel free to place {{Help me}} on your talk page and someone will drop by to help.
  • The following is the log entry regarding this warning: Weekly Shōnen Jump was changed by Mainesang (u) (t) ANN scored at 0.922285 on 2015-06-29T10:47:26+00:00 .

Thank you. ClueBot NG (talk) 10:47, 29 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

stop Do not put in bold face any word you like. Materialscientist (talk) 10:48, 29 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding unsourced content. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Materialscientist (talk) 10:59, 29 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Warning icon Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to use disruptive, inappropriate or hard-to-read formatting, as you did at Manunda, you may be blocked from editing. There is a Wikipedia Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Please do not continue bolding random words in articles. Generally, the only words that need to be bolded are the article titles. ~ RobTalk 11:38, 29 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Stop icon

Your recent editing history at List of Dragon Ball Z episodes (season 8) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. ~ RobTalk 11:41, 29 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

wtf, wikipedia sucks bad. Everyone just reverts evrything you do :(

The main reason that it appears editors have reverted your work is that the bolding of words in articles is generally frowned upon when you're not bolding the exact article title or something extremely close to it. Keep in mind that bolding the article title is only used to help in the understanding of the article. When the article title isn't present in the lead, it generally isn't bolded. You can find the Manual of Style here. As a new user, though, my advice is to stay away from editing little formatting details. In my personal experience, there is a lot of detail in the Manual of Style that is hard to grasp quickly. You're more likely to do well and make meaningful contributions by editing content or helping to revert obvious vandalism, depending on which you're interested in. If you want to try your hand at adding content, pick a topic you're interested in and find an area that the encyclopedia does not have good coverage on to add to. You'll want to at least read the basics of WP:GNG, WP:V, WP:RS, and WP:NPOV before adding content, as these are the basic foundations of policies on content. If you're interested in reverting obvious vandalism as a starting point, check the recent changes queue on the side bar and look for disruptive edits. I'd recommend reading WP:VANDAL to get an idea of what vandalism is and how patrolling for it is done, and I'd start only with incredibly obvious vandalism (i.e. people removing an entire section and replacing it with nothing or with something like "jkjkjkjkjkjkjkjk") until you get a tiny bit of experience. After you find a point to enter and get some experience, feel free to expand what you work on. This "gradually expanding scope" strategy is how I initially got involved with the project, and it worked well, although in hindsight I didn't pick the best place to start. If you have any questions, feel free to respond here. I'm also going to add a welcome message to the top of your user talk page with some useful links. ~ RobTalk 11:54, 29 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
