Reference Errors on 20 September

Hello, I'm ReferenceBot. I have automatically detected that an edit performed by you may have introduced errors in referencing. It is as follows:

• On the Homicide (wrestler) page, your edit caused a broken reference name (help) and a cite error (help). (Fix | Ask for help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, ReferenceBot (talk) 00:25, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 9

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Luck Be a Lady, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Matlock (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

April 2015

Hello, I'm John from Idegon. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Kissimmee, Florida, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

WP:NOTBROKEN

Hi JIK1975. According to WP:NOTBROKEN and MOS:NOPIPE, there's nothing wrong with linking to "FOX Chicago" and there's no need to add a pipe to "WFLD". Linking to redirects is considered acceptable and such links do not need to be "fixed" except in certain cases. - Marchjuly (talk) 02:07, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

Above also applies to other redirects to WFLD such as WFLD-TV - Marchjuly (talk) 02:12, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi again JIK1975. I am not sure if you're using a script or just doing it all manually, but you keep adding pipes to redirects which do not need to be piped and actually should not be piped according to WP:NOPIPE and WP:NOTBROKEN. ] is a redirect to ]; It is not broken and does should not be piped just to avoid linking to the redirect page. Same goes for ] for ] and many of the other pipes you are adding. Linking to redirects are useful for the reasons laid out in "Reasons not to bypass redirects include:" in "WP:NOTBROKEN" and none of the pipes you've been adding seem to fall under the "Good reasons to bypass redirects include:" also listed in "WP:NOTBROKEN". If there some specific problems you're trying to correct by piping these redirects, then you should at least try and explain it in your edit sums so that others can understand what you're doing and why the change was needed. Otherwise, it's not really not something that needs to be done. - Marchjuly (talk) 01:53, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

The same applies to your recent spade of edits changing Ragnarok to Ragnarök; these edits are entirely unnecessary. Please read the guidelines mentioned above. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 14:30, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

PS: And please, use edit summaries as suggested below. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 14:31, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

You've been asked nicely to not "fix" redirects like you did here. Again, read over WP:NOTBROKEN and follow what it says by not "fixing" redirects. Dismas| 03:52, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for July 4

July 2015

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Misplaced Pages, as you did at Howard Stern. 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 Misplaced Pages'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 Misplaced Pages's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Misplaced Pages'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. Thank you.

You have been asked politely before by myself and others such Michael Bednarek and Dismas to stop "fixing" links that do not need to be fixed. You have also been asked before by Magnolia677 et al. to leave edit sums explaining why you are making your edits. Your intentions may be good, but all you are doing is creating extra clean up for other editors. If you keep this up, it is likely that another editor is going to bring you up at WP:ANI for disruptive editing. If you are using a bot to make these edits, then I suggest you check the settings. If you are making them manually, I suggest you carefully read through WP:NOTBROKEN and only fix those links that really need fixing. - Marchjuly (talk) 02:30, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
