HPDEATHLYHALLOWS4, you are invited to the Teahouse!
Hi HPDEATHLYHALLOWS4! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. Be our guest at the Teahouse! The Teahouse is a friendly space where new editors can ask questions about contributing to Wikipedia and get help from experienced editors like Gestrid (talk).
Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Tomb Raider (film), 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. Geraldo Perez (talk) 19:41, 28 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, and please don't submit unsourced content like you did here. See WP:ICTF#Guidelines on sources for a general list of sources that are, and are not, suitable for inclusion in the context of Indian film articles. We need all content to be verifiable, which is why we require the inclusion of references. See Referencing for Beginners if you're unclear about how to add sources. Thank you.

I think you could have avoided to write this edit summary: "Changed worldwide box office ranking from 11 to 12 due to lion king live action remake which only made more money due to idiot people and Disney fanatics supporting medicore films". It was really inappropriate and unnecessary. --Mazewaxie (talk • contribs) 18:57, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Community Insights Survey
Share your experience in this survey
Hi HPDEATHLYHALLOWS4,
The Wikimedia Foundation is asking for your feedback in a survey about your experience with Wikipedia and Wikimedia. The purpose of this survey is to learn how well the Foundation is supporting your work on wiki and how we can change or improve things in the future. The opinions you share will directly affect the current and future work of the Wikimedia Foundation.
Also, please sign your posts properly, unlike the same edit above, where you did not sign your post, and here where you did it manually (?) for some reason. Your signature must contain at least one link to either your User page or your Talk page, because surprise surprise, the point of a signature is to tell the reader who left the message, and when you are calling yourself "Hpdh4" when your user name is actually HPDEATHLYHALLOWS4, you are needlessly making it difficult for people to figure out who actually left the message. If you are using the four tilde ~~~~ signature, please remove whatever odd formatting you've added to your preferences. Thank you. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 02:59, 16 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Reminder: Community Insights Survey
Share your experience in this survey
Hi HPDEATHLYHALLOWS4,
A couple of weeks ago, we invited you to take the Community Insights Survey. It is the Wikimedia Foundation’s annual survey of our global communities. We want to learn how well we support your work on wiki. We are 10% towards our goal for participation. If you have not already taken the survey, you can help us reach our goal! Your voice matters to us.
There are only a few weeks left to take the Community Insights Survey! We are 30% towards our goal for participation. If you have not already taken the survey, you can help us reach our goal!
With this poll, the Wikimedia Foundation gathers feedback on how well we support your work on wiki. It only takes 15-25 minutes to complete, and it has a direct impact on the support we provide.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. SummerPhDv2.003:37, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Discretionary sanctions notification
This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
Hi HPDEATHLYHALLOWS4 (or Hpdh4), I noticed that your signature doesn't include a link to your User Page, User Talk page, or Contributions as required by WP:SIGLINK. You can read more about signature formatting and requirements at WP:SIG. Cheers! Woodroar (talk) 15:40, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Minor edits
Hi HPDEATHLYHALLOWS4! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at George R. R. Martin that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

Problem with your custom signature
You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.
The problem: Your preferences are set to interpret your custom signature as wikitext. However, your current custom signature does not contain any wikitext.
The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.
Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
Remove anything in the Signature: text box. (It might already be empty.)
Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "Restore all default settings" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Game of Thrones, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages David Bradley and Jacob Andersen. 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.)

Your editing on the J. K. Rowling article and talk page and outside of it has been highly disruptive, I'm not really sure where to start... and to be clear, I have no real opinion on Rowling or her views or whatever. I don't care.
You have engaged in retaliatory editing on subjects that are opposed to Rowling or are perceived to be rivals of hers in some way; you did this yesterday with this edit to Rick Riordan, with a source that did not even back up the claims you made. You also did this at Daniel Radcliffe in 2020; he had publicly criticized Rowling, so you added negative information to his article. You were reverted and took to discussion on the talk page, where it was rightfully pointed out that "The inclusion is retaliatory, added solely because Radcliffe criticised Rowling, nothing more. Unlike the topic of Rowling's anti-transgender activism, Radcliffe's description of some of his friends (not the "many friends", added by HPDH4) fails the ten-year test; it even fails the four-year test!" You essentially admit in this edit that you added that information as retaliation, "I find it hard to believe the motives of actors. When the defacto leader (Radcliffe) entered the anti-Rowling debate ,then the rest followed suit. [...] But where was Watson, Grint, Lynch, Wright and redmayne when Radcliffe admitted he has racist friends in that interview for imperium. You can't condemn someone else of something when your guilty by assosiation for something equally reprehensible like racism. You are editing to make a living person look bad to prove a point, which is unacceptable.
Outside of this sort of revenge editing, you have repeatedly made inappropriate edits to BLPs: you attack one and call them two facedhere, your edits here were hidden as BLP violations, here you replaced a BLP subject's they/them pronouns because "They implies more then one person. Last time I checked only one person exists in a body not multiple. So too be neutral and not abide by gender language censorship , changed they to Fisher . Grammatically correct according to old English and not new dictionaries of Wokeness", and here you rant on a talk page, talking about The real reason is Zuma , his uneducated and radical black supporters and his family . Look at SA history of being racist to other races in terms of their BEE and AA policies.
Then there are your recent edits to the Rowling article. I'm not going re-hash SandyGeoriga's excellent analysis on the talk. You respond to her detailed, perfectly civil post with more forum-like complaining and rudeness, and end with "Anyways....Continue ruining Wikipedia". What a disrespectful and unneeded thing to say, it speaks for itself.
If you want to be unblocked, I recommend volunteering to a voluntary topic ban from J. K. Rowling and BLPs, broadly constructed, and a strong commitment to being more careful with your editing in the future. However, I think an unblock is unlikely given the scale of disruption and your attitude, along with you ignoring the several warnings you've received. You will need to demonstrate a real change in behavior and editing moving forward. MoneytreesTalk🏝️CCI guide03:39, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
