{{subst:uw-afd2|Article}} |
Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion pages, as you did with Article.

{{subst:uw-biog1|Article}} |
Hello, I'm [[User:{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}|{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}]]. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Article, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on [[User_talk:{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}|my talk page]]. Thank you! |

Creation of unacceptable articles
What to type |
What it makes |
{{subst:uw-create1|Article}} |
Welcome to Wikipedia. A page you recently created, Article, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new pages, so it will be removed shortly (if it hasn't been already). Please use the sandbox for any tests, and consider using the Article Wizard. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Your first article. You may also want to read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. Thank you. |
{{subst:uw-create2|Article}} |
Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages, such as Article, to Wikipedia, as doing so is not in accordance with our policies. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Wikipedia:Your first article; you might also consider using the Article Wizard.

Deletion
What to type |
What it makes |
{{subst:uw-delete1|Article}} |
Hello, I'm Stepshep. I noticed that you recently removed content from Article without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. |
{{subst:uw-delete2|Article}} |
Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Article, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you. |
{{subst:uw-delete3|Article}} |
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 Article, you may be blocked from editing. Thank you. |

Incorrect information
What to type |
What it makes |
{{subst:uw-error1|Article}} |
Hello, I'm [[User:{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}|{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}]]. Your recent edit to the page Article appears to have added incorrect information, so I have removed it for now. If you believe the information was correct, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox.

{{subst:uw-error2|Article}} |

Jokes
What to type |
What it makes |
{{subst:uw-joke1|Article}} |
Welcome, and thank you for your attempt to lighten up Wikipedia. However, this is an encyclopedia and the articles are intended to be serious, so please don't make joke edits, as you did to Article. Readers looking for accurate information will not find them amusing. If you'd like to experiment with editing, please use the sandbox instead, where you are given a certain degree of freedom in what you write. |
{{subst:uw-joke2|Article}} |
Thank you for your contributions to Article, but we are trying to write an encyclopedia here, so please keep your edits factual and neutral. Our readers are looking for serious articles and will not find joke edits amusing. Remember that Wikipedia is a widely used reference tool, so we have to take what we do here seriously. If you'd like to experiment with editing, use the sandbox instead. Thank you. |
{{subst:uw-joke3|Article}} |

Moves
What to type |
What it makes |
{{subst:uw-move1|Article}} |
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved, as you did to Article, without good reason. They need to have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. Wikipedia has some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. |
{{subst:uw-move2|Article}} |
Please do not move a page to a title that is harder to follow, or move it unilaterally against naming conventions or consensus, as you did to Article. This includes making page moves while a discussion remains under way. We have some guidelines to help with deciding what title is best for a subject. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. Thank you. |
{{subst:uw-move3|Article}} |
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to move pages to bad titles contrary to naming conventions or consensus, as you did at Article, you may be blocked from editing. |
{{subst:uw-move4|Article}} |
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you move a page maliciously, as you did at Article. |
{{subst:uw-move4im|Article}} |
This is your only warning; if you move a page maliciously again, as you did at Article, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. |
Manual of style
What to type |
What it makes |
{{subst:uw-mos1|Article}} |
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, as you did in Article, 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. |
{{subst:uw-mos2|Article}} |
Please do not use styles that are unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in Article. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Thank you. |
{{subst:uw-mos3|Article}} |
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to use disruptive, inappropriate or hard-to-read formatting, as you did at Article, you may be blocked from editing. There is a Wikipedia Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. |
Not censored
What to type |
What it makes |
{{subst:uw-notcensored1|Article}} |
Hello, I'm [[User:{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}|{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}]]. I noticed that you removed topically-relevant content from Article. However, Wikipedia is not censored to remove content that might be considered objectionable. Please do not remove or censor information that directly relates to the subject of the article. If the content in question involves images, you have the option to configure Wikipedia to hide images that you may find offensive. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. |
{{subst:uw-notcensored2|Article}} |
Please do not remove information from articles, as you did to Article. Wikipedia is not censored, and content is not removed on the sole grounds of perceived offensiveness. Please discuss this issue on the article's talk page to reach consensus rather than continuing to remove the disputed material. If the content in question involves images, you also have the option to configure Wikipedia to hide the images that you may find offensive. Thank you. |
{{subst:uw-notcensored3|Article}} |
Please stop. Wikipedia is not censored. Any further changes which have the effect of censoring an article, such as you did to Article, will be regarded as vandalism. If you continue in this manner, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. |
Personal attacks
What to type |
What it makes |
{{subst:uw-npa1|Article}} |
Hello, I'm [[User:{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}|{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}]]. I noticed that you made a comment on the page Article that didn't seem very civil, so it has been removed. Wikipedia is built on collaboration, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on [[User_talk:{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}|my talk page]]. Thank you. |
{{subst:uw-npa2|Article}} |
Please do not attack other editors, as you did at Article. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. |
{{subst:uw-npa3|Article}} |
Please stop attacking other editors, as you did on Article. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. |

External links spam
What to type |
What it makes |
{{subst:uw-spam1|Article}} |
Hello, I'm Stepshep. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added to Article have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. |
{{subst:uw-spam2|Article}} |
Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Article. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. |
{{subst:uw-spam3|Article}} |
Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Article. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. |
{{subst:uw-spam4|Article}} |
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you insert a spam link, as you did at Article. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted, preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines. |
{{subst:uw-spam4im|Article}} |
This is your only warning; if you insert a spam link to Wikipedia again, as you did at Article, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted, preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines. |

What to type |
What it makes |

Hello, I'm [[User:{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}|{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}]]. An edit that you recently made to Article seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, please use the sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on [[User_talk:{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}|my talk page]]. Thanks! |
{{subst:uw-test2|Article}} |
Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to Article, even if you intend to fix them later. Your edits have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. |

Unsourced
What to type |
What it makes |
{{subst:uw-unsourced1|Article}} |
Hello, I'm [[User:{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}|{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}]]. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Article, 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! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on [[User_talk:{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}|my talk page]]. Thank you. |
{{subst:uw-unsourced2|Article}} |
