I think we shouldn't put Bobby under Mino's main biography it's enough in Discography page. Why u edited back? Bobby's wiki doesn't even mention Mino or Mobb in his main bio explanation page. Do the same. Nava9099 (talk) 10:41, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Winner Everyday Sample.ogg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 16:13, 13 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Rain Forest. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to Treasure (band), but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat SEO.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Rain Forest. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Rain Forest|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. scope_creep^Talk 10:53, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Scope creep, I'm quite shocked that someone has accused me of being paid to edit when I wasn't even aware that people actually pay others to edit things under Wikipedia. I simply created an account to contribute towards developing existing articles while adhering to the wikipedia guidelines. Although thanks for the explanation on 'paid contribution disclosure', I've learnt something new today.Rain Forest (talk) 00:20, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Rain Forest. That's cool. Crack on. scope_creep^Talk 08:38, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Rain Forest: Hi there, please do not add Korean to the table, majority if not all of the title in the table are wikilinked which is more than sufficient. Furthermore, your logic on adding original title doesn't make any sense. What if there is the person starred in Chinese drama or other-language drama that isn't Korean? Doing so, will only clutter the table with unnecessary information. Please also note that Wikipedia is not a directory nor is it a search engine, majority of the readers don't need such information, if you added because you find it convenient then sorry you're in the wrong place. Btw, don't forgot you're in English Wikipedia. I do know your edit is good faith edit however please don't add such unnecessary information. Only add Korean to certain songs in the discography section if applicable which is often not wikilinked otherwise, please don't add them as mentioned above. Thanks you for your cooperation. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 10:39, 2 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Somi Dumb Dumb Sample.ogg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for discussion. Please see the discussion to see why it has been listed (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry). Feel free to add your opinion on the matter below the nomination. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 13:29, 14 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Paper9oll. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Jeon So-mi have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse. Thanks. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 04:26, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at Itzy discography shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the 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 the bold, revert, discuss cycle 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 you 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 do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Please stop removing information from articles, notably the listicles from Aespa and Enhypen's pages. Consult to talk page and ask whether you can remove the information suddenly. Refrain from doing this in the future as your account may face consequences. ReVeluv02 (talk) 02:00, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@ReVeluv02 The purpose of this accounts creation is to remove content that is deemed "not notable" by the Wikipedia Guidelines or don't adhere to it. While it is true the size of the removal was larger than expected due to all the citations, the significance of it was still small considering, as mentioned earlier, the notability. If you visit pages that follow these guidelines and have been reviewed / graded by users as "GA", "A" and "B" (e.g. Song Joong-ki, BoA, Bong Joon-ho) you'll realize they don't just add every single list they've been mentioned in, only the notable ones get listed (like Forbes Korea Power Celebrity 40).

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made: you may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template index/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. Lightoil (talk) 02:55, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The edit you reverted was not vandalism. Please do not call edits that are not vandalism vandalism thanks. Lightoil (talk) 03:04, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Prior editor has already explicitly stated the reason for its removal; if it's still added despite the explanation without proper sources, then yes, it's considered vandalism to a certain extent. First and foremost, Wikipedia's guidelines are to be enforced at all times, information from blog posts are not considered reliable per WP:KO/RS and WP:BLPSPS. Previous revision is properly sourced from reliable sources, hence that version remains more appropriate. Thanks. Rain Forest (talk) 03:22, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please read WP:VAND that is just disruptive editing not vandalism. Lightoil (talk) 03:23, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for uploading File:The Seasons - Long Day, Long Night with AKMU Poster.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 18:49, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
