[edit]
Hello, I'm GiantSnowman. An edit that you recently made to Mark White (footballer, born 1958) seemed to be a test and has been reverted. If you want to practice editing, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! GiantSnowman 20:22, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you for the guidance, it is much appreciated. I do not object to the reversion . Arenaorah (talk) 07:29, 22 January 2025 (UTC)
Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to Darren Poole, even if you intend to fix them later. Your edits have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use your sandbox. Thank you. GiantSnowman 18:16, 30 January 2025 (UTC)
"of"
[edit]I see you're making numerous edits along these lines:
"Cora caucensis is a species of basidiolichen in the family of Hygrophoraceae."
When referring to taxonomic ranks like family, order, class, etc., we don't use "of" before the name. The word "family" directly precedes the taxonomic name, similar to how we would say "the genus Amanita" or "the order Agaricales" rather than "the genus of Amanita" or "the order of Agaricales." This is a standard convention in biological nomenclature. Think of the taxonomic rank (family, genus, etc.) as a title or designation that's inherently linked to the name that follows it, rather than indicating possession or membership that would require "of." I suggest you go back to the articles you've inserted this and revert these numerous instances. 15:22, 16 February 2025 (UTC) Esculenta (talk) 15:22, 16 February 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you for the clarity. I had a different understanding. I will revert those specific changes Arenaorah (talk) 15:26, 16 February 2025 (UTC)
ArbCom 2025 Elections voter message
[edit]
Hello! Voting in the 2025 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 1 December 2025. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority 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 in the 2025 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add {{NoACEMM}} to your user talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:53, 18 November 2025 (UTC)
December 2025
[edit]Hello Arenaorah. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, 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 employed (or being compensated in any way) by a person, group, company or organization to promote their interests. Paid advocacy on Wikipedia must be disclosed even if you have not specifically been asked to edit Wikipedia. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.
Paid advocates are strongly discouraged from direct article editing and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are strongly discouraged 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:Arenaorah. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Arenaorah|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. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 23:33, 16 December 2025 (UTC)
Thanks for your contributions to Quiq. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing as a live article at this time because you may have a possible Conflict of Interest. I have converted it to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.
Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 23:34, 16 December 2025 (UTC)
