[[Image:Ambox warning blue.svg|25px|alt=|link=]] Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits while logged out. Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Sock puppetry|policy on multiple accounts]] usually does not allow the use of both an account and an IP address by the same person in the same setting and doing so may result in your account being [[WP:BLOCK|blocked from editing]]. Additionally, making edits while logged out reveals your [[IP address]], which may allow others to determine your location and identity.

Hi! I see that you've made large numbers of minor edits to several articles, some of which are on my watchlist. Some of those edits are valuable (thank you!), but many are not. Actions such as removing hyphens from hyphenated words, changing [[MOS:NUMERAL|correctly-written]] numbers from words to figures, adding an unnecessary thousands comma and so on are unlikely to be helpful – these are matters governed by editor preference and/or language usage, and it's usually best to [[WP:RETAIN|leave them as they were]]. Changing the capitalisation of a link that is anyway piped is completely pointless, as no-one sees it other than in edit mode and the software handles it equally well either way. Before changing something, please ask yourself whether the change is actually an improvement (as opposed to being just a change to an alternative way of writing the same thing).

Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits to User talk:Drmies while logged out. Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow the use of both an account and an IP address by the same person in the same setting and doing so may result in your account being blocked from editing. Additionally, making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. If this was not your intention, please remember to log in when editing. Hey, it's not very smart to admit to logged-out editing. Also, those edits, they are very disruptive and unencyclopedic: please try editing at Wikia. Drmies (talk) 01:21, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you make disruptive edits to Wikipedia contrary to the Manual of Style, as you did at Neron (DC Comics). Stop using the strange bolding of selected words. Your IP range Special:Contributions/2600:1700:7E31:5710:0:0:0:0/64 was blocked for stuff like that. The relevant style guideline is MOS:NOBOLD.

A barnstar for you!

MOS:NOPIPE
Hello Mcfoureyes, please read MOS:NOPIPE, it is not necessary to pipe away links to redirects, using a redirect is fine. Regards, Cavalryman (talk) 22:51, 25 March 2021 (UTC).
Disambiguation link notification for March 29
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Barbara Mandrell discography, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page No Nonsense. 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) 06:14, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
