The Departed

Film plots should be limited to 700 words. See MOS:PLOTLENGTH. Your edits have been saved in the wp:page history. Please consider shortening the plot. Thank you Adakiko (talk) 04:43, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

Plot summaries

This is your second notice regarding plot summary length. Your recent edit at Top Gun added 47 words to a plot description that was already over the limit (you increased it from 713 to 760). Please take opportunities like this instead to shorten long summaries and make them more concise. Per WP:FILMPLOT, we should keep them between 400 and 700 words in length. Thank you. -- GoneIn60 (talk) 03:31, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

December 2022

Thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages. In your recent edit to U.S. Marshals (film), you added links to an article which did not add content or meaning, or repeated the same link several times throughout the article. Please see Misplaced Pages's guideline on links to avoid overlinking. Thank you. DonIago (talk) 16:05, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

January 2023

Please do not use misleading edit summaries when making changes to Misplaced Pages pages, as you did to The X-Files. This behavior is viewed as disruptive, and continuation may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. CastJared (talk) 09:50, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

Oh really? Sorry, let me correct it when i have the time. Can you pint out the mistakes i made in the X-Files? ShaneSim76 (talk) 06:07, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages. In your multiple edits to The Blacklist, you have included repetitive phrases to the article which may fail MOS:CAPITAL and sometimes make the whole sentence the phrase is inserted into inaccurate in terms of prose. Moreover, your edits have caused a dispute between you and Debresser which can be treated as an edit war and make the article unstable. That way, it does not comply with good article criteria and will make it difficult to process the article for GA. Please do not use capitalisation in case you doubt the word has to be capitalised. Thank you. -Eagowl (talk) 06:06, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

Really? I was unaware. I apologize for my errors. Please allow me to rectify them when I get the opportunity if its ok with you. ShaneSim76 (talk) 06:08, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for February 21

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited White Collar (TV series), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Art crime. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:03, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

Already correct the art crimes part. Thanks for reminding me. ShaneSim76 (talk) 06:10, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 13

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II (2022 video game), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page General Shepherd.

(Opt-out instructions.) --DPL bot (talk) 06:03, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

Sorry, i will remove it. ShaneSim76 (talk) 06:04, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

Overlinking

Hi ShaneSim76, I undid your edit to Choo-Choo Charles, since you just added unnecessary wikilinks. To understand the subject of the video game Choo-Choo Charles, the reader doesn't need a bluelink to monster hunting, which redirects to Cryptozoology, or machine gun or mining company. We just link to articles that are relevant in the context of an article. For instance, there's an article on the word "the", but we don't link to that either, since it's not a linguistic article. Hope this helps. Thanks, and happy editing. soetermans. 19:30, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
