A tip on how to add signature to talk page entries
- Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
- With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.
This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

citation format
The name of a newspaper or other publication should go in work=, not in publisher=. I am fixing the cites in Leeds Festival (classical music) right now. DES (talk) 02:25, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
- Please review wp:ref more closely on how the formatting should go. In many cases it is simple typographic errors, such as this where the year had too may digits in it; or this where you didn't have the pipe | before the quote, and it was errantly after the term quote; or here where you spelled September incorrectly.

Your recent editing history at Pippa Middleton shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Help with your recent Help Page question of March 15
Two suggestions. Highlight and copy (copy/paste) the section you are working on and then paste it into Microsoft Word or Notepad (or whatever) and print it out. I find it easier to read the printed page. Use a highlighter pen to mark the wiki mark-up text so you can see what needs to be corrected. Also, go to your User Page. To the right of your name, click on Preferences, then on Gadgets. Scroll down to Editing and click Syntax Highlighter, which colors the wiki syntax in the editing box. Makes it much easier to see in the edit box. Good luck!--Tribe of Tiger (talk) 20:57, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

Basic questions on the Help Desk
Is there a reason why you are always asking really basic questions such as this one that you should be capable of fixing yourself? You've been editing for close to a year now. And you also often ask the same question where the only difference is the article. For instance, you've brought up the {{nee}} template a few times. Is there a reason for this? Dismas|(talk) 19:56, 29 July 2016 (UTC)
Your IP address has been revealed
With all due respect, it seems that you struggle with the technicalities of Wikipedia. For this reason, I wish to mention something to you. Two threads with similar content were recently opened at the Help Desk, one by "you" (Srbernadette) and the other by an "IP editor". It is fairly obvious that the IP editor is you when logged out. This is fine, per
The IP address is, very roughly speaking, the place where you internet connection is; this is personal information. From your IP, I could find (using free online tools which require little knowledge to use) that you live in Australia (actually, I could tell the city with a very good chance of being right, but I see no need to tell it - you probably know where you live, and you probably do not need others to know).
You may not care (in these day and age plenty of people expose the most intimate details of their lives on Facebook) but if you wish to have it removed, you can ask for it to be oversighted (that is, deleted and hidden from the page history so that it cannot be accessed by regular users). See Wikipedia:Revision_deletion#How_to_request_Revision_Deletion for how to request it.

You've been editing for over a year, surely by now you must have learnt to reference properly? We all make mistakes and errors, but
One of your persistent errors which doesn't get flagged up by the mediawiki software is that you don't (or won't) get it through your head (despite being told countless times) that the date belongs in the |date=
parameter, not in the |publisher=
parameter. --David Biddulph (talk) 23:55, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
Please learn to leave proper talk page messages
Hello. I noticed that you've left a message on my talk page, without caring about giving a heading, or using the New section link or using even the link I have provided myself for leaving new messages. I find that odd, knowing that you leave properly structured messages on the Help Desk. Please don't spoil my talk page with errors that you leave behind in the wake of your messages. I suspect that's only because you either are careless, or don't care about following good form in these things where you feel it doesn't matter. Please first learn how to leave structured talk page messages before you request for help. Thanks for understanding and please don't take this message otherwise. Lourdes 09:26, 4 November 2016 (UTC)

NECPHEW
I came to offer some advice but I see you are not new and have not benefitted much from any offered so far. So I will say very clearly don't dump quotations and bare url references just anywhere in articles as you did at North of England Council for Promoting the Higher Education of Women. Although the information is good and the source verifiable it makes work for other editors. I have converted the quotation to text, which is what you should do, and referenced it appropriately. If the reference is a good source, as this one obviously is, it is easy to verify it by clicking the link in the refs list and the quotation is not required. J3Mrs (talk) 09:19, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
Which language?
I have reverted your recent edit to Pippa Middleton. You have continued steadfastly to ignore, or deliberately violate, the reminders which you have received from countless editors on the fact that the "|publisher" parameter (if used) in a citation template is for the name of the publisher, and not for the date, which has its own parameter "|date", nor for such pointless text as "Copyright -". You have been reminded numerous times of Template:Cite web#Publisher and Template:Cite web#Date. If you are incapable of understanding plain English, would you please tell us which language you would wish editors to use in addressing you? --David Biddulph (talk) 08:50, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

Adding references
Srbernadette, I hope you don't mind, but I saw the section at ANI and I'd like to make a suggestion in case it helps you.
There is no requirement to use citation templates in references. The referencing help material gives the impression one has to use them, but the people who wrote most of it are assuming everyone is willing to download a tool or otherwise comfortable with copying great chunks of complex syntax, and as you've discovered, if you are not using the tool but typing in the reference manually, the software produces alarming red error messages if you make the slightest mistake in typing (or even if you copy some date formats). What actually matters is that you provide the essential information: the URL for an online reference is the absolute minimum, otherwise (and in addition is desirable for an online reference), the website or publication, the title and the date. Other editors may grumble - especially if you're editing a much-trafficked and well developed page like Diana, Princess of Wales, because good practice dictates you follow whatever format the existing references use, and on such a page it's almost always some kind of templates - but someone will come along and fix it to match.
So I suggest you stop trying to use templates and concentrate on giving what information you can about the reference. As I say, I hope you don't mind, but many of us find them difficult. Yngvadottir (talk) 13:42, 21 September 2018 (UTC)

May 2019
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Meghan, Duchess of Sussex; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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.
Points to note:
- 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 and 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. ~ GB fan 01:36, 9 May 2019 (UTC)

Do not change the character of Lady Merton to Baroness. That is simply false and original research. There is nothing in the primary source that refers to these characters as a Baron and Baroness.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Rishi Sunak. 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. If I understand correctly, you're trying to add "Defense" to the LGBT section to emphasize its importance, which is obviously not constructive. Firestar464 (talk) 04:00, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

Omid Scobie
Hi Srbernadette! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Omid Scobie several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.
All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree at Talk:Omid Scobie, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you. - LouisOrr27 (talk) 01:14, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
