Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on

A review of your edits

Conor, I've been looking through a few of your edits and have found a pattern that I thought I'd bring up with you.

First, you cannot use the image of an actor playing a part in a film/show in the infobox for the actor. For instance, the image of Samantha Bond which was a screen capture of one of the Bond films. That image can't be used in the infobox in the article for the actress. You can think of it as a picture of the character and not the actor. For the infobox, you'd need a picture of the actor. You've replaced similar images such as that for Penelope Wilton.

Second, when you link to something like The Great Gatsby but you want the link to go to the film, then the link should look like this: ''[[The Great Gatsby (2013 film)|]]'' which will display as The Great Gatsby.

And finally, names of bigger works such as films, books, and television shows should be in italics. So, it would be The Great Gatsby or Doctor Who. Names of "smaller" works, such as songs or episodes should be in "double quotes". Examples of that would be "The Star Spangled Banner" or "Blink".

I've been following behind you and trying to fix the errors that I find but it would help everyone out if you remembered these points and fixed them on your own. Thanks, Dismas|^(talk) 22:38, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Conor MacLeod, I see you are still adding non-free images to articles. If you keep doing it, you might be blocked. Please stop. See

Also, you made all the same sorts of edits that you've been asked not to make. Please stop making work for other people. See my edit here to see what I did to change the material you added. Dismas|^(talk) 14:17, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living (or recently deceased) persons, as you did to Dove Cameron. Thank you. Geraldo Perez (talk) 16:13, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for March 29

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Samantha Bond, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Home Fires. 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.
