Hello, I'm Neøn. An edit that you recently made to Hyperloop seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, 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. Thanks! Neøn (talk) 04:06, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
- Hi, I noticed that you sign your edits to articles. Signatures aren't necessary in articles, as users are already credited for edits in the article's history. You can find out more information here. --Neøn (talk) 05:29, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
On using sources and citations
Hello, I'm N2e. I noticed that you made some changes to an article, Hyperloop, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history 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. I removed that paragraph for now; but feel free to discuss it with other editors on the Talk page. N2e (talk) 23:35, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
Behavior toward other editors
Please remember to assume good faith when dealing with other editors, which you did not do on Hyperloop. Your comment on the Talk page, which included the line " I can only conclude that this post is edited by a paid blogger for the Hyperloop" with reference to editor Stepho-wrs is inappropriate behavior for Wikipedia editors. N2e (talk) 14:14, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
There appears to be an authoritarian air amongst certain editor types of Wikipedia. Why object to the post (not an edit) without having an actual policy to back up your objection? Why would I assume good faith when it is sorely missing, and with regard to a blatantly incorrect infommercial?

Please assume good faith in your dealings with other editors, which you did not on Hyperloop. Assume that they are here to improve rather than harm Wikipedia. N2e (talk) 05:00, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
N2e : What on earth does this have to do with the edit in question?
Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to alloy. Your edits could be interpreted as vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 22:05, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
Materialscientist: Nonsense, please respond in the relevant discussion page of the article. Also, please stick to the merits of the subject you are addressing (alloys) rather than editorializing on the other contributor's behavior. Where are your references for defining "alloy"? What is your scientific basis for assuming what is incorrect?
Also, please do not flatter yourself that you are so well-versed in either physical metallurgy or the solid state as to be the unquestioned authority on it.Wikibearwithme (talk) 03:03, 16 March 2017 (UTC)

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 post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people. 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.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you make personal attacks on other people, as you did at Talk:Zero Hedge. Comment on content, not on fellow editors. — Newslinger talk 15:38, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
