Welcome! change
Welcome to Wikipedia, Prahlad balaji! I'm Rubbish computer and an active editor here. Thank you for your changes. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions check out Wikipedia:Questions, or send me a message on my talk page. I like to help new people, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like Wikipedia and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- Introduction
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- How to write a very good article
Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 22:12, 6 August 2016 (UTC)

Editing other people's pages change
Please stop editing other people user pages. Twice you've labeled people as administrators when they're not. Another time you corrected grammar in someone else's comments. These are not appropriate changes. Please do not do it again. Only (talk) 21:24, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
Okay! -Prahlad balaji (talk) 16:19, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
- This is your only warning. Your most recent change to User:Fairfield was not appropriate. I am not sure whether you understood what other people have been telling you. Chenzw Talk 16:22, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
Hello change
The userbox you are working on does not need two "documentation" sections; one will do and two are incorrect. The first one (with the "|content") is perfectly fine, and is a better way to manage documentation in a userbox. I've made some changes to improve the grammar and appearance of the documentation. Happy editing. Etamni | ✉ | ✓ 14:42, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

- From your recent edits it seems that you are still not quite familiar with how the wiki works, as well as some technical details such as the category system and how template transclusion works. I ask that you please reduce your editing (and creating) of templates, and focus on editing of encyclopedia articles (which is the main purpose of this project). Wikipedia:Simple start is a good place to start if you are looking for articles to edit. Chenzw Talk 15:07, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
While the article did not state explicitly that we are referring to the common sunflower, the article does state clearly that it is about a single plant species ("is an annual plant"). You should not be modifying the binomial name to state only the genus. Chenzw Talk 15:51, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
Trouted change
Whack!
Do not take this seriously. Someone wants to let you know you did something silly!
You have been trouted for:
Your recent changes to Template:Clickable button change
Please do not make test changes to pages, especially to templates, even if you intend to revert your edits later. If you want to experiment, please use the sandbox instead. Chenzw Talk 16:44, 22 October 2016 (UTC)
Changes to templates change
This is the last time I am going to tell you this. Do not make changes to templates if you don't know what you are doing. Your recent edits to the templates introduced additional line breaks that will show up in transclusions. Chenzw Talk 01:29, 5 November 2016 (UTC)
Uncontrolled changes change
Please be careful in making changes to the taxonomy pages. When you replace "arthropods" with "Ecdysozoa" you change a simple word for a more sophisticated term which is not introduced until the following paragraph. The term "arthropods" was correct for the examples given. Remember:
- We prefer simple terms as far as possible
- We do not copy En wiki in all its uses
- Don't make changes to established pages unless they are clear improvements

February 2017 change
Hello, I'm Jeff G.. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Phoronida, 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 Wikipedia:Citing sources, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Jeff G. ツ 02:10, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
Taxoboxes change
Please stop adding details to our taxoboxes. They have been carefully simplified for the purposes of this wiki, and should not be added to without a good reason. We are not trying to imitate En wiki. Macdonald-ross (talk) 15:06, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
March 2017 change
Please do not remove content from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to "Emerald", without giving a good reason in the change summary. This is vandalism. If you want to practice changing Wikipedia, please use the sandbox. Thank you. — Jeff G. ツ 04:55, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
dinos and birds change
- Yes, I don't need telling what the term 'Dinosaur' includes. I think you're not appreciating our need to hold the reader's hand, so to speak, while they go through material as non-expert readers. We have a lot or users who are not advanced in education and not native users of English either. Constant reminders of things which are well-known to an expert may nevertheless be needed for many of our readers. Macdonald-ross (talk) 10:38, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
