Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made: you may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template index/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. Gaismagorm (talk) 16:22, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, was not aware. I'll keep that in mind! Drdr150 (talk) 16:25, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry, I made the same mistake when I started out! Also be sure to add in the articles title so they know which article you are talking about. Highly reccomend using Wikipedia:Twinkle. Gaismagorm (talk) 16:44, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Drdr150/dQw4w9WgXcQ

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on User:Drdr150/dQw4w9WgXcQ requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Vandalism warnings

Please keep in mind previous warnings when additing new warnings on user talk page. User_talk:Pro1212khalil already has 3 warnings for similar behavior. The latest edit was clear vandalism. ElENdElA (talk) 18:34, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, I apologize. I will do so in the future. drdr150 Yell at me Spy on me 18:54, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

regarding your message

Can you tell me which article please?I think it was an accident because it is my 3rd day editing Wikipedia Breck0530 (talk) 19:28, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, give me a second. drdr150 Yell at me Spy on me 20:13, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It was Faleolo International Airport, in which you removed content without adequate explanation. It did, however, have the "newcomer task" tag, so was almost certainly a good faith edit. Have a good one! drdr150 Yell at me Spy on me 20:15, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, for that one I checked the airlines website and it said that they didn't offer flights there anymore so I removed to avoid confusion. Although, I forgot to explain why in description. Sorry Breck0530 (talk) 20:37, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's all good. drdr150 Yell at me Spy on me 20:41, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
