Hello, I'm Jim1138. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Think Think and Ah Tsai, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please 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. Thanks. Jim1138 (talk) 08:16, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I undid your edit as it was wp:synthesis. You would need to cite a source drawing such a conclusion. Jim1138 (talk) 08:33, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I understand, I was mistaken about Wikipedia. My bad! Thank you for your time. EnTerbury (talk) 08:40, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Adding references is how we ensure that content is valid. Without references, a reader can not easily validate information and there is no presumption of accuracy. See Help:Referencing for beginners and Help:footnotes. This is covered by the Wikipedia policy of wp:verifiability (WP:V). Please wp:cite your edits with wp:reliable sources (RS). Per WP:V unsourced content can be removed. Thank you Jim1138 (talk) 08:33, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I have reverted your recent change at Think Think and Ah Tsai. The source you have cited, from Newsweek, talks about Kawaii culture in relation to several countries, but not Mainland China. merlinVtwelve (talk) 20:40, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've reverted your edit regarding the name of Manchuria. Just a reminder that Baidu Baike might not be the best source around. That's all! Thank you for your constructive edits! —Javert2113 (Let's chat!) 03:37, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the link; I fail to see, however, how it's connected to my edit. Although I wouldn't use BDBK for my own research, the name of the article itself is a reliable source for the usage of the term in the PRC. Even more so, it is proof that your link and argument are not applicable, as the name of the corresponding article here on WP is simply 满洲国. Moreover, we're arguing not on Manchuria but Manchukuo. Got it? EnTerbury (talk) 04:01, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• In Pinyin, the apostrophe (') (隔音符號, géyīn fúhào, 'syllable-dividing mark') is used before a syllable starting with a vowel (a, o, or e) in a multiple-syllable word when the syllable does not start the word.

You wrote:

• In Pinyin, the apostrophe (') (隔音符號, géyīn fúhào, 'syllable-dividing mark') is used when there could be ambiguity regarding the syllables used (e.g. xian and xi'an or bing'an and bin'gan).

There is no such thing as pinyin written as 'bin'gan' (except as an error), just like there's no such thing as He'nan 河南 even though henan might conceivably be 'he nan' or 'hen an' 很暗. The rule is, and always has been, that the syllable dividing mark is used before a syllable starting with a vowel (a, o, or e) in a multiple-syllable word when the syllable does not start the word.

Hey arsehole. I tried to repost WITH a source like you said for I felt bad for losing my temper with you. but this Keith D freak wouldnt let it happen. You morons have WAY too much power. unsigned comment by 75.71.203.84 03:27, 3 April 2020 (UTC) [reply]

We don't have any power, on Wikipedia, if you allow, truth has power. And rightly so. Your "source" included an obvious copy from Wikipedia itself, in other words quoting that constitutes circular reasoning. Moreover, it's still irrelevant, because I know Japanese. Keith didn't do the autocratic thing, he did the rational thing. If you want me to explain something specific just ask. You can't convince me you felt bad about losing your temper when you just did it again. Happy life.

@Jéské Couriano: Thanks, but I have no problem with those words appearing here. Is there a way I can stop edit revision on here? EnTerbury (talk) 03:50, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent additions to the three articles. Jstuby (talk) 03:47, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Lewis and Clark Expedition, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Canton. 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) 05:56, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your contributions to GeoGuessr World Cup 2023. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability and none of the current references are reliable, third party, independent sources.. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. – Pbrks ^(t·c) 20:04, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Ingushetia, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Annexation of Crimea.
