Thank you.

A major edit such as reorganizing an entire list with hundreds of entries needs to be discussed first, as there is clear long-standing consensus for the list organization. And the reason for that is that these rail systems serve a city, not a country, so the city is the most important thing. oknazevad (talk) 15:07, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at List of tram and light rail transit systems. 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. This is now your second warning on reorganizing this list in a controversial fashion – please stop it. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 15:15, 11 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double
  inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners
  , for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.

• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.

If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing.

Hi, I undid your edit on Table of keyboard shortcuts, because the shortcut did not work for my keyboard layout (German). Indeed, in the wikipedia article there is a description of the shortcut with the note that it is not available on all keyboard layouts. Because the shortcuts in the list should work for all keyboard layouts, I removed your edit. --ElLutzo (talk) 20:36, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Ranamode,

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Crystallizedcarbon, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I have tagged Flags of Argentine Provinces for deletion, because it doesn't appear to contain any encyclopedic content. You may find our guide for writing quality articles to be extremely informative. Also, you may want to consider working on future articles in draft space first, where they cannot be deleted for lacking content.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. If the page is already deleted by the time you come across this message and you wish to retrieve the deleted material, please contact the deleting administrator.

For any further query, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Crystallizedcarbon}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

Hello Ranamode, Wikipedia pages can not have only images and links unless they are disambiguation pages. Don't get discouraged. Please read Help:Your first article and follow this tutorial for your next page: Wikipedia:Article_wizard. Choosing a topic with coverage by independent reliable sources is the first step. Regards. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 16:19, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

As you want I'll go into detail.

First of all, there were several grammar mistakes, repeated sentences and redundant details in the article. I corrected the grammar mistakes, removed repeated texts and got rid of redundant sentences from the article.

Second, multiple templates were describing the contents of the article to be written like a story instead of being encyclopedic, and there were a lack of citations. I proceeded to make the article sound less like a story and more encyclopedic and removed content which couldn't have their sources verified. However, I have been unsuccessful in finding citations for the article, so I decided to do whatever I did as a temporary measure.

I hope that this is detailed enough for you, and would request for my edits to be restored if possible.

I took the South American entries from the List of country subdivision flags and made a separate article specifically for South America. I am working on separating the main list by continent as it is too big. This type of action was previously done for the List of City flags as the entries became too much for one article. Do you still want me to cite the flags, even thought they are just copied and pasted? For the nth time (talk) 17:53, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
