A tip on how to add signature to talk page entries
[edit]Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:
- 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.
Thank you. Dl2000 (talk) 16:11, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

citation format
[edit]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.

née (and e acute)
[edit]You keep asking about how to write née (and you don't want the tooltip that née gives you). If you leave this message here on your user talk page you can just copy and paste the word from here to whichever article you're working on. Another option is that if you have a standard Windows keyboard you'll probably find than an "e acute" character can be produced by holding down the "Alt Gr" key (to the right of the spacebar) and hitting the "e" key. - David Biddulph (talk) 08:52, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
October 2015
[edit]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.

I can see that you've put a lot of work into adding the information about this man, but he's just not WP:NOTABLE and it's not appropriate to add so much information about him there. I have removed that paragraph. If you can create an article about him in his own right, then by all means mention him here and link to him. But this looks rather as if you are trying to shoehorn a biography of Kate's gt-gt-gt-uncle into the encyclopedia when there is nothing interesting about him to justify this. "Famous or infamous people", or "Notable people" or any such description should only include those who are considered "Notable" in Wikipedia's terms: there's a statement to this effect at WP:ALUMNI, in terms of "notable" alumni of colleges etc, and I think its spirit applies in a case like LGI.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Née
[edit]Next time you want the word "née" placed in an article, you can just ask me on my talk page. I won't get angry, and I will use "née" not "née". Maproom (talk) 11:40, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
Help with your recent Help Page question of March 15
[edit]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
[edit]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
[edit]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 WP:LOGOUT, but you must be aware that your IP address has now been disclosed to whoever does enough digging.
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.

Referencing
[edit]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 competency is required to edit Wikipedia, and it seems like you aren't learning from mistakes. You (including IPs) have posted 4 times in the last 2 and a bit dates about simple reference errors at Family of Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge. The reference errors tell you exactly where the problem is most of the time, so please try and fix them yourself. Posting this on your IP page talkpages as well, for reference. Joseph2302 21:21, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
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
[edit]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)

[edit]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?
[edit]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)
In addition to what David has said and recent multiple threads at the help desk, I have just come across three edits in the last couple of hours or so, where anything but the name has been inserted in the 'publisher' parameter. You claim to understand English yet you continually put incorrect information in various fields, despite plenty of help given. Perhaps you could tell us what you think the word 'publisher' means? Also if you make a simple spelling error such as 'Octoner' or 'Novemeber' as you have done recently, please fix it yourself. Although willing to assist to some extent, the help desk should not be called upon to regularly correct such basic errors. Thank you. Eagleash (talk) 11:20, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits while logged out. Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow the use of both an account and an IP address by the same person in the same setting and doing so may result in your account being blocked from editing.

[edit]There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Joseph2302 (talk) 17:50, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
Adding references
[edit]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)

[edit]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)

[edit]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
[edit]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)

[edit]I never meant to write that I would "Vandalise" the Omid Scobie account - I meant to say it (the Omid Scobie page) should NOT be vandalised. Please unblock me.

Editing while logged out
[edit]Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits while logged out. Please be mindful not to perform controversial edits while logged out, or your account risks being blocked from editing. Please consider reading up on Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts before editing further. Additionally, making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. If this was not your intention, please remember to log in when editing. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:45, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Srbernadette. Have you also been editing while logged out (i.e. editing using an IP address account instead logging in and using your registered account)? If you have, then that's OK (you don't need to confirm of deny it here); you should, however, take a look at WP:REALWORLD and WP:LOGGEDOUT for some general information on what it means to do so. Editing while logged out isn't forbidden as long as it's not being done to circumvent relevant Wikipedia policies and guidelines; it is, however, actually less anonymous than editing from a registered account since an IP address can be used to find out (to some degree) where you're editing from. Editing while logged out can also be confusing to others trying to contact you because they may be leaving messages for you on the user talk page of the IP account instead here on this user talk page. So, if this account is also you (once again you fon't need to confirm of deny whether it is), you might want to take a look at that account's user talk page because there are messages posted there that were likely intended for you. If you've been using another IP account instead, you should also check the user talk page of that account for messages. You don't need to the respond to the messages on these other user talk pages if they're indeed for you, but you should at least read them because they are related to edits made by you when you used those particular accounts. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:07, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
Multiple threads asking the exact same question at the Wikipedia Help Desk
[edit]Please stop creating multiple threads asking the exact same question at the Wikipedia Help Desk. I'm going to assume that you were logged out when you first asked WP:HD#Richard Dawson (1855–1923) on May 19, 2024. For some reason, you then seem to have logged in to this account a little over five and half hours later and started a new thread asking the very same question. The wording of both threads is identical, with the only difference being the signature of the person asking the question. There is absolutely no reason at all to create redundant discussion threads like you did, and I believe it's been something you've been advised not to do in the past by others.
For reference, everyone responding to questions at the Help Desk is a volunteer, which means there's no telling when somebody will respond to a question. Questions aren't answered in any particular order or by a particular person; they're basically answered when someone reads the question and thinks they can help. so, posting the exact same question multple times won't speed up the answering process, and you just need to be patient and wait until someone responds. Furthermore, if someone responds to your question and you're still in need of assistance, ask a follow up question in the same discussion thread; there's no need to start a new discussion thread in most cases. Starting multiple discussion thread about the same exact thing splits the discussion and can lead to redundant replies or just plain confusion; so, it's best to avoid doing so. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:07, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
