hello , bruce1ee You had just removed my one of external links i had added to Joint Entrance Examination because you thought that it is inappropriate for an encyclopedia. can you please explain me what is inappropriate in it ? and why you removed that ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Examflame (talk • contribs) 09:49, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
Referring to this edit: Yes, there is a German Wikipedia article for Adolph Traugott von Gersdorf, but the entry in March 20 needs to contain a link to an article on the English Wikipedia. —Bruce1ee14:51, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
I Need Help
I'm trying to add more genres to the Hispanic music template, but I don't know how to get it right. I left the mistakes for anyone who did know how to get it right to fix, but instead of fixing the mistakes, you just reverted the template back to its previous appearance. Why? 47.36.25.163 (talk) 19:54, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
You broke the template. This is what it looked like after you had finished editing it. Your edits had to be reverted as the template is currently used in 144 articles. You should preview your edits before saving them, and if they haven't worked, don't save them. Rather ask for help at the Teahouse or the Help desk. —Bruce1ee22:20, 9 January 2022 (UTC)

Hello!
Just now you have removed my link on the page Tata Nexon by saying that it is inappropriate. Can you please tell me how it is inappropriate? I was just updating the sales figures which were not available there and it will only help users to get the latest sales figures. And if you will say that I am self-promoting then please tell me what I am self-promoting and why other external links are still present there? And now also tell me how can I edit sales figures without giving external links. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CJ CARS INDIA (talk • contribs) 07:17, 28 January 2022 (UTC)

You deleted a more up-to-date photograph that I added and removed two sentences relating to users of Plaxton-bodied Royal Tigers and Doyen-bodied Royal Tigers. I wonder why you did it?

So I saw that you reverted my edits about serial killer, Carol M. Bundy. I found out that her full name is Carol Mary Bundy, and you reverted my edits. Why did you do that? Cause when I looked up her name, her full name is Carol Mary Bundy on Murderpedia AndersonDJ9999 (talk) 02:15, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
Hello User:Bruce1ee: I work for Living Films and am therefore in a COI situation regarding edits to related articles. I see that you have made some edits to the article about The Serpent (TV series) in the past. I requested a couple of edits on the talk page back in February, and I was wondering if you might find it a good use of your time to take a look and see if they could be posted? I understand that as a COI I am unable to do this myself. Thank you for your time and consideration. Best Livingfilms23 (talk) 01:33, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
@Bruce1ee: Hello there! I see you reverted my edit on the January 13 article, as new entries require citations. I understand this, but how am I supposed to cite a person? If it was a news event, I would understand completely. But I do not know what am I supposed to cite when Im adding a person that was born on that day.
I understand the problem and I apologise I'm 9 and I need some help my local church is it not on Wikipedia and I wanna make a page on it but can you give the link to page
where i can request an page! JelloMello24 (talk) 15:48, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for the link to Good Faith.
This a message I want to spread to the world, not just for Wikipedia, but for life in general.
I love your profile. Seems like we are brothers from different mothers.
Cheers, bro.
Hello bruce, in afghanistan ethno-lingustic page there is a map made by CIA wich is Completely wrong and inaccurate for example according to wikipedia itself balkh and badakhshan provinces have tajik majority but according to cia map wich is Completely made because of political strategies uzbeks are the majority, i posted a map wich is based on Al-Jazeera report that according WP:RSN Al-Jazeera is an independent and reliable source, but some one deleted my map saying my source is not reliable!!??? Cia map is because of us political strategies in afghanistan to uzbeksize northern afghanistan. 5644Khorasani (talk) 06:40, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
Please link the article you are referring to, but keep in mind that I am not knowledgeable in the field of Afghan ethno-lingustics. —Bruce1ee07:09, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
Also please look at Naval postgraduate school statistics
https://nps.edu/web/ccs/balkh
Says every ethnic living in balkh but according to cia all districts are uzbeks
I'm sorry, I can't help you with this. As I said above, I am not knowledgeable in the field of Afghan ethnic groups". —Bruce1ee12:21, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

Boom. I haven't blocked the IP yet because I'm curious to see if they try to spam any more domains after they discover dealshunt is blacklisted.OhNoitsJamieTalk13:59, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
I posted a external links on Stitch marker (crochet) that was removed immediately, i think it is a mistake kindly restore it or provide me with the reason for the removal of the link.
I think the link was genuine and not a promotional act.
Template:Structural evolution of the European Union
Thanks for fixing that. I guess I'm too slow on the uptake to get the footnotes right for this template ... I was trying to turn them into note refs with working backlinks (with the usual blue highlighting), but I'm afraid that is seriously beyond my skills. Same with Template:European Union command and control structure by the way: I just can't get those backlinks going for the explanatory footnotes. Aargh ... Hildeoc (talk) 13:37, 26 August 2022 (UTC)
PS: In case you know how to deal with that (which I assume from your comment), and you can afford the time – would you mind giving me a hand here, perhaps? (I've been struggling with that mess in vain for hours now 😢) Greetings--Hildeoc (talk) 13:48, 26 August 2022 (UTC)
Thank you so much for taking the trouble to fix that (and sorry for keeping you waiting)! This is very, very kind of you. I shall have a closer look at both versions and then get back to you soon, alright? Best--Hildeoc (talk) 14:36, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
First of all, once again a huge thank you for your quick support (and patience). I do really appreciate that. Since I've now finally got around to taking a closer look at both versions, I chose the one with alphabetic notes for reasons of distinction from regular references, which use numeric indicators. Just FYI. Gratefully, Hildeoc (talk) 23:41, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
Children of Marx and Coca-Cola book review
Hi! Can you send me this too, please? Kind regards, – Doc Taxon • Talk • 14:27, 3. Sep 2022 (UTC)
When editing days-of-the-year pages as you did on February 24, please read the edit notice above the edit window entitled "Please read before editing". It states, amongst other things, "Each addition now requires a direct citation from a reliable source on this page supporting it. Simply providing a wikilink is not sufficient and additions without direct sources will be removed." Your addition did not provide a citation. For help on inline citaions, have a look at Wikipedia:Citing sources and Wikipedia:Inline citation. —Bruce1ee10:16, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
I've restored the version of Tina Arena at 20 August 2022. I removed a reference containing a banned website here, which I think was what was preventing you from doing it yourself. —Bruce1ee14:31, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
Hello, I'm seeing you're making edits to the photos I have added to various Catholic bishops. It seems as though I've made some sort of error - what exactly is it so I can avoid it in the future? Thank you! Maximilian775 (talk) 20:39, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
Thumbnails shouldn't be used when adding images to infoboxes. So, for example, [[File:Thomas Grace (bishop of St. Paul).jpg|thumb|]] should be Thomas Grace (bishop of St. Paul).jpg. Have a look at WP:INFOBOXIMAGE for more information. —Bruce1ee20:49, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
Hello. Seems you removed my noting that today is Columbus Day which really should have at least been noted in the On This Day on the landing page (next to Canada's Thanksgiving). The reason being that it's not a 'set' date from year-to-year. Very well. Please let me know if you will need assistance scrubbing mention of other such observances. In a couple days, there is Día de la Resistencia Indígena which also floats from year to year. I'm sure you'll make sure it's removed from the Home landing page, yes? Please advise. Thanks!2603:6011:C003:1256:57B:F365:ACFD:AC6E (talk) 23:15, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
Ah - that's certainly not necessary. When those other non-set observances occur, I will simply quote you and direct them here. It's the same reasoning, yes? And should anyone object, well then, you can explain the rationale. So no worries. Best! 2603:6011:C003:1256:7559:19A6:350C:7669 (talk) 09:35, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
Link Removal
Hello Bruce. I've had a message saying that you've removed an external link that I added to the '2021-present United Kingdom cost of living crisis. When I look at the page, it's not just the link you've removed, it's the whole sentence that I added. I'm a little confused as the sentence and link was 100% relevant to the article. Should I be adding the external link as a reference as opposed to a link in the text? Appreciate, if you could offer me some advice. SellCell (talk) 14:43, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
Wikipedia does not permit links to blogs in its articles. They are generally not regarded as reliable sources. Have a look at user-generated content and external links to avoid. In addition, the text you added gives the impression that you are promoting the SellCell website, which is also not permitted. See WP:Spam. —Bruce1ee15:06, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
Aaqib Javed
Hello Bruce1ee, this edit to Aaqib Javed reinstated a line break <br /> in lieu of an inline list ({{Ubl}}) with the explanation fixed lint errors. I have a few questions. Is that really a lint error (I'm curious to know which script/tool identifies it as lint)? Secondly, does MOS:NOBR not apply in this circumstance? Finally, is there any harm in using {{br separated entries}} in this circumstance? I'd appreciate your thoughts. Thanks. – Archer1234 (talk) 16:24, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
@Archer1234: Hi, you can find out about lint errors here. {{Ubl | Aaqib Javed | {{Lang|ur|عاقب جاوید}}}} in the infobox in Aaqib Javed generates a "div-span-flip" lint error under "Miscellaneous issues" in Special:LintErrors. (You can get help on this type of error here.) The problem is not the {{ubl}} template, but the inclusion of the {{lang}} template in one of {{ubl}}'s list items. I added <br /> to avoid this clash, but as you correctly pointed out, list items shouldn't be separated by line breaks. I tried your suggestion of {{br separated entries}} and it doesn't generate any lint errors. So that would probably be a better solution. —Bruce1ee17:48, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
The actual problem was that the infobox used span tags to wrap |name=, which then contained a div tag. I have fixed the infobox to avoid this problem. – Jonesey95 (talk) 20:52, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
I'm definitely not the expert on alt text. If I were blind, I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't appreciate hearing "Maundia triglochinoides, Maundia triglochinoides, Maundia triglochinoides, Maundia triglochinoides, Maundia triglochinoides" if there were five images of the plant in one cell of a table. There are just two images in the cell here, but the question is, at what point does repetition get annoying? I have no strong feeling about this at all, but this page is up at WP:FLC (and promotion is imminent) so I'll restore this alt text until we can come up with something better. What's your preference? - Dank (push to talk) 15:37, 10 November 2022 (UTC)
If the alt text of this image is read in conjunction with the alt texts of the other images in the table cell, then "same" makes sense, but not if read in isolation of the others. I personally would repeat "Maundia triglochinoides" each time, but I also don't feel too strongly about it; "same" isn't generating any errors. —Bruce1ee17:16, 10 November 2022 (UTC)

The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
Hey, just to clarify, this revert was aimed at the edit before yours, not the fix you did. I picked the wrong option for rollback so I've repeated the revert to cover the intended edit. R Prazeres (talk) 17:49, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
I wonder you can maybe help me with a problem with some corrections from Deb, she is 'cleaning' the year pages and without any reason of guidance. Her argument is that there are no citations added with some information on the year pages. I have explained to her that without any citations available you create 'blanco pages', because there are many year pages without citations. Can you help me to stop these actions, without ruining the year pages! Peters01 (talk) 22:20, 24 December 2022 (UTC)
