Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the 
button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.
To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put
{{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.Sincerely, Jax 0677 (talk) 21:15, 30 July 2013 (UTC) (Leave me a message)

Hello, I'm Gogo Dodo. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions because it didn't appear constructive. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 19:49, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
Cassie J. Sneider
[edit]You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.
Thank you.
The article Cassie J. Sneider has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article, which appeared to be about a real person, individual animal, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.
Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 19:56, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
- Re your message: I have restored the article to your user space at User:BenStein69/Cassie J. Sneider. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 16:01, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Barack Obama. Your edits appear to be 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. Dawn Bard (talk) 03:40, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

[edit] Hello, I'm Jauerback. I noticed that you made an edit to a biography of a living person, Seth MacFarlane, but that you didn’t support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 03:30, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Herbert (Family Guy). Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.: The Article clearly states "Henry defines Herbert as a pedophile" this is not the same as Gay.

Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Haight-Ashbury, but we cannot accept original research. Original research 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. Thank you. GeorgeLouis (talk) 04:41, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Todd James Pierce, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Willow Springs (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

[edit] Hello, I'm Amaury. I wanted to let you know that I undid one of your recent contributions, such as the one you made with this edit to Atlantic Records, because it didn’t appear constructive to me.

Please do not add or change content, as you did to Kath Soucie, without verifying it by citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Bbb23 (talk) 15:02, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
- I don't mind your continuing to try to find a reliable source for Soucie's birth date, but, thus far, you have repeatedly failed. Therefore, I suggest if you think you have found a reliable source, don't change the article. Instead, open a topic on the talk page of the article and list the source for others to evaluate. Otherwise, if you continue to add critical material to a WP:BLP without a reliable source, you risk being blocked.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:46, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
- To expand and edify, the problem with those sources were threefold: 1) IMDb is supported by user-contributions with no clear editorial oversight, which makes it unreliable as a source. 2) CelebrityNetWorth has a similar problem with no clear editorial policy or presumed amount of fact-checking. 3) The RottenTomatoes reference states in the first paragraph that the article came from Wikipedia. Since we can't use Wikipedia as a source, that is problematic as well. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:42, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
Hello, BenStein69, and thank you for your contributions!
An article you worked on Cristy C. Road, appears to be directly copied from http://zinewiki.com/Cristy_Road. Please take a minute to make sure that the text is freely licensed and properly attributed as a reference, otherwise the article may be deleted.
It's entirely possible that this bot made a mistake, so please feel free to remove this notice and the tag it placed on Cristy C. Road if necessary. MadmanBot (talk) 03:30, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Cristy C. Road
[edit]
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 Cristy C. Road requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://zinewiki.com/Cristy_Road. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites 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 modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines 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 "Click here to 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 removed 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. Bihco (talk) 19:43, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

Hello, BenStein69. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Cassie J. Sneider, for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. If you don't want Cassie J. Sneider to be deleted, please add a reference to the article.

Overlinking
[edit]Hi, in this edit you added quite a few wikilinks to Rocko's Modern Life. Though I think you meant well, per WP:OVERLINK, wikilinks should be used to link to relevant subjects that will expand our understanding of the subject, the TV series, but should not be used for common words and concepts like "immigrant", "adult humor" and "gluttonous". It is presumed that readers have some basic comprehension of English that would allow them to understand the context of the article without linking to every other word, and overlinking distracts from the article content. For more info, please read WP:OVERLINK. Thanks, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:41, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
National varieties of English
[edit] In a recent edit to the page Jewish humor, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.
For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author used.
In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. TJRC (talk) 21:37, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Ben Aaron Simon
[edit]
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 Ben Aaron Simon 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 band or musician, but it does not 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 "Click here to 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 removed 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. reddogsix (talk) 05:30, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

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. The sources added do not support the claim made. Additionally, the curious idea that Word Girl is for adults is contrary to all reliable sources which make clear that the show is for young children. Please discuss the issue on the article's talk page if you disagree. SummerPhD (talk) 14:00, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability 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. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Asriel Dreemurr for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

[edit]
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on List of English words of Yiddish origin. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Hertz1888 (talk) 05:51, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's no original research policy by adding your personal analysis or synthesis into articles, as you did at List of English words of Yiddish origin, you may be blocked from editing. JesseRafe (talk) 13:34, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

[edit] Please stop making disruptive edits, as you did at Dancing in the Street.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. I really want to assume good faith with regards to your adding Category:2017 singles here, but you've received many warnings for adding unsourced information to articles, and this appears to be another case of you adding information that can't be clearly verified. You really need to exercise better diligence going forward. DonIago (talk) 14:04, 9 November 2017 (UTC)

Hayley and the Crushers moved to draftspace
[edit]An article you recently created, Hayley and the Crushers, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Deletion discussion about James Cushing (poet)
[edit]Hello BenStein69, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.
While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, James Cushing (poet), should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/James Cushing (poet).
Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.
If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Dclemens1971}}. And don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!
