COMMON: General revert notify

==Recent edit#s# to #a#==\n

25px Hello, and thank you

for your recent contribution#s#. I appreciate the effort

you made for our project, but unfortunately I had to

undo your edit#s# because I believe the article was

better before you made that change. Feel free to

contact me directly if you have any questions.

Thank you! ~~~~

COMMON: Unsourced content

==Recent edit#s# to #a#==\n

Image:Information.svg Hello,

and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that you made a

change to an article, #a#, but you didn't provide

a reliable source.

It's been removed 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 my talk page. Thank you! ~~~~

COMMON: Blanking/removal of content

==Recent edit#s# to #a#==\n

25px Hello, and welcome to

Wikipedia. I noticed that you removed some content

from #a# without explaining why. In the future, it

would be helpful to others if you described your changes

to Wikipedia with an accurate [[Help:Edit summary|edit

summary]]. If this was a mistake, don't worry; I restored

the removed content. 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. Thank you! ~~~~

COMMON: Puffery or promotion

==Recent edit#s# to #a#==\n

25px Hello. I noticed that

you made an edit that introduces praise or promotional

language to the #a# article. On Wikipedia, we adhere

to a neutral point of view (NPOV) and avoid

promotional language or puffery. Please read the NPOV

policy page, as well as [[Wikipedia:Manual of

Style/Words to watch|this page of language to avoid]] to

better understand how to expand this article in a style

suitable to an encyclopedia. If you have questions,

please see the Help Desk page.

Thank you! ~~~~

TOOMUCH: Non-notable list entry

==Recent edit#s# to #a#==\n

25px Hello, and welcome to

Wikipedia. Your recent edit#s# to #a# added the name

of an apparently non-notable entity. In general,

a person or organization added to a list

should have a pre-existing article

to establish notability. If you wish to create such

an article, please confirm that your subject is

notable according to Wikipedia's

notability guideline.

Thank you! ~~~~

TOOMUCH: Un-encyclopedic details

==Recent edit#s# to #a#==\n

25px Hello, and thank you for

your recent contribution#s#. While the content of your edit#s#

may be true, I have removed it because its depth or

nature of detail are not consistent with our objectives

as an encyclopedia. I recognize that your edit was made

in good faith and hope you will familiarize yourself

with what Wikipedia is not so we may

collaborate in the future. Thank you! ~~~~

TOOMUCH: Talk in article

==Recent edit#s# to #a#==\n

25px Hello, and thank you

for your contribution#s# to Wikipedia. I noticed that

you recently added commentary to the #a# article. While

Wikipedia welcomes editors' opinions on an article and

how it could be changed, these comments are more

appropriate for the article's accompanying

talk page. If you post your comments

there, other editors working

on the same article will notice and respond to them,

and your comments will not disrupt the flow of the

article. Thank you! ~~~~

NONSENSE: Test edit

==Recent edit#s# to #a#==\n

25px Hello. I noticed that

you recently made a contribution to the #a# article

that seemed to be a test. Your test worked! However, test

edits on live articles disrupt Wikipedia and may confuse

readers. If you want more practice editing, the

sandbox is the best place to do so.

If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any

questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page.

Thank you! ~~~~

NONSENSE: Joke edit

==Recent edit#s# to #a#==\n

25px

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 #a#. Readers looking for accurate information will

not find them amusing. If you'd like to experiment

with editing, try the sandbox,

where you are given a good deal of freedom in what

you write. Thank you! ~~~~

NONSENSE: Non-English contributions

==Recent edit#s# to #a#==\n

25px Thank you for your

contribution#s# to Wikipedia. I noticed that you have

posted content to the #a# article in a language other

than English. When on the English-language Wikipedia,

please always use English. Thank you! ~~~~

LEGAL: Uncited BLP change

==Recent edit#s# to #a#==\n

25px Hello. I noticed that you

made an edit to a biography of a living person (#a#),

but that you didn't support your changes with a citation

to a reliable source. Wikipedia has a strict

policy concerning [[WP:BLP|how we write about living

people]], so please help us keep such articles accurate.

If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any

questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page.

Thank you! ~~~~
