Information icon Please do not add or change content, as you did at [[:Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on retail ‎] and Kmart, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. . I have not removed the material from Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on retail yet, but I will if the closures are not immediately sourced, and with sources that explicitly mention the pandemic as a cause. This article is not a coatrack to list every retail outlet that has closed. Meters ( talk) 02:15, 13 July 2021 (UTC) reply

Warning icon Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Kmart, you may be blocked from editing. Meters ( talk) 17:05, 14 July 2021 (UTC) reply

Stop icon You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on retail. No, you cannot simply add a source that does not support most of your claims, and does not even mention the pandemic. Meters ( talk) 17:10, 14 July 2021 (UTC) reply

Warning icon Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on retail, you may be blocked from editing. This is the second time you tried to add information to this article that is not supported by the citation that you have provided. Unless mentioned in a citation, the closing of a particular K-mart and Sears store is not the result of the pandemic since the parent company has been slowly liquidating stores since 2019. 50.231.49.42 ( talk) 00:29, 17 July 2021 (UTC) reply

Stop icon You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add material with citations that does not even support your claims, as you did at Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on retail. This is the third time you tried to add the claim that closing of a Kmart store is pandemic related with your first attempt on 14 July, second attempt on 16 July, and third attempt of 20 July. None of the citations that you have given even mentions the pandemic. Since Kmart's parent company has been consistently liquidating stores since 2019, well before the start of the pandemic, none of the store closing could be rightfully blamed on the pandemic. If you would like to contribute to Wikipedia but do not understand the reasons why your recent edits have been removed, please ask questions at the WP:Teahouse. However, if you continue to add material without proper citations that can back-up your claims, you could be banned from further editing. -- 108.71.214.235 ( talk) 04:05, 21 July 2021 (UTC) reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Paul Sarlo, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Excess and Complex. 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.)

Information icon Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved without good reason. They should have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. Wikipedia has some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. — Mhawk10 ( talk) 02:54, 29 November 2021 (UTC) reply

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Timeline of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States (2022) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Information icon Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia'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. At best, creating a blank article along the line of "N/A" for such a titled article is problematic. If taken at it's worst, it will be taken as you soapboxing that covid does not (or no longer) exists (in the US) in wikipedia's mainspace Nosebagbear ( talk) 16:48, 31 August 2022 (UTC) reply

Stop icon You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced or poorly sourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Transformco. Bump this to final.
