Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Bob Magness. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please 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 noticeboards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:25, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

Title entries in citations
Hello. I noticed that you have added the parameter |title=
to several Twitter citations that were missing them. While it is appreciated, adding |title=Twitter
is not helpful. The title should be the partial or entire content of the tweet. Thanks! – Pbrks (t • c) 15:48, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
