Disambiguation link notification for June 23

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Abdul Hamid Khan (general), a link pointing to the disambiguation page I Corps was added. 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) 18:06, 23 June 2026 (UTC)

June 2026

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to Leslie Mungavin when you modified the page, you introduced unknown parameters. Just because you specify |some_param=some_variable does not always mean that variable will display. The |some_param= must be defined in the template. You can look at the documentation for the template you are using but it is also helpful to use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and ensure that the values you have added are displaying correctly. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it. It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. Note I have likely fixed the error by now so check the history of the page to see how it was fixed. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you.

Orphaned non-free image File:Akbar Khan.webp

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Akbar Khan.webp. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of non-free 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. --B-bot (talk) 17:05, 5 July 2026 (UTC)

No need for a signature after WikiProject banners

Hi, Although it is good practice on talk pages to sign your posts, I don't think that means you need to add a signature after adding WikiProject banners and other banners to the talk page header, as you did on Talk:July 2026 Balochistan attacks. Since you are not actually posting a comment that needs responding to, the signature is unnecessary. The editor who added items to the talk page header is usually obvious from the page history. Posts normally go under a heading to explain what the post is about. In this instance I have moved your signature to a new section titled "Signature". Did you intent to post anything after adding the talk page banners but forgot to do so when you signed the talk page, or was this signature just a misunderstanding of the guidelines? - Cameron Dewe (talk) 02:10, 10 July 2026 (UTC)

Cheers for spotting that. I have an automatic signature on my end and forgot about it. LesIie (talk) 02:15, 10 July 2026 (UTC)

Perhaps you should preview your edits; I often find previewing helps me catch mistakes. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 02:18, 10 July 2026 (UTC)

July 2026

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. This means that you are repeatedly reverting content back to how you think it should be, despite knowing that other editors disagree. Once it is known that there is a disagreement, users are expected to collaborate with others, avoid editing disruptively, and try to reach a consensus – rather than repeatedly reverting the changes made by other users.

Important points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive behavior – regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not engage in edit warring – even if you believe that you are right.

You need to discuss the disagreement on the article's talk page and work towards a revision that represents consensus among everyone involved. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution if discussions reach an impasse. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you continue to engage in edit warring, you may be blocked from editing. Accesscrawl (talk) 03:45, 12 July 2026 (UTC)
