Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to List of unused highways in Canada, but we cannot accept original research. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Stop adding the statement about teh where and why of most of Edmonton's unused roads. Unless that statement is sourced it appears to be nothing but WP:OR. Meters (talk) 23:28, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please also learn how to add references. External links are not used as references. Meters (talk) 23:28, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Amberlynn Reid

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 Amberlynn Reid requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Do not mark major edits as minor and use edit summaries

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.

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks!

Hello, I'm J. M.. I noticed that you recently removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, 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.—J. M.

April 2019

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours to the page Chief Wahoo has an edit summary that appears to be inaccurate or inappropriate. The summaries are helpful to people browsing an article's history, so it is important that you use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did. Feel free to use the sandbox to make test edits. Thank you. TJRC (talk) 00:44, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Non-constructive editing

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Demographics of Edmonton, Anthony Henday Drive, Fraternities and sororities, 2028 Summer Olympics, Oreo, Omar Khadr, Same-sex marriage, Great Famine (Ireland), Piper Aircraft, Lynching, Code Red, Aboriginal-based organized crime (Canada), you may be blocked from editing. Hi, your edits seem to generally be unconstructive, unexplained, and incorrectly marked as minor. WanderingWanda (they/them) (t/c) 04:59, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'll add: I try to always assume good faith, but it's hard to see your recent on Chief Wahoo, which someone else brought up above, as anything but deliberately dishonest. When you removed a reference to Indigenous Peoples' Day, you not only incorrectly marked the edit as minor, but also incorrectly stated in the summary that it was just a "spelling error fix".
