Hello! Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. At least one of your edits, while it may have been in good faith, was difficult to distinguish from vandalism. To help other editors understand the reason for the changes, you can use an edit summary for your contributions. You can also take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. ScrabbleTiles (talk) 15:10, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Flag of Slovenia. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. ScrabbleTiles (talk) 15:17, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I’m so sorry. I just wanted to try and add an image. But it wouldn’t let me for some reason. Dynamismcool (talk) 10:12, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Slovenia. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. —Prothe1st (leave me a message)– 11:06, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I’m sorry. Dynamismcool (talk) 11:13, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Im so sorry. I just wanted to help. I never wanted to make the platform feel like I did add bad materials, because I did not.😕 Dynamismcool (talk) 11:16, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Flags of New Caledonia, you may be blocked from editing. Tenshi! (Talk page) 13:26, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I’m just trying to help. Dynamismcool (talk) 13:28, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I’ll try not to do it anymore. Dynamismcool (talk) 13:28, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Flag of Cyprus. This one really was outright vandalism Largoplazo (talk) 14:56, 26 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop editing the French Guiana article to state that the French name for it is “Guyane Française”. It isn’t, it’s just “Guyane”. Largoplazo (talk) 21:24, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I noticed that the French Wikipedia article acknowledges “Hors de France, la région est habituellement appelée Guyane française“, but we should be providing its own name for itself. Largoplazo (talk) 21:37, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I Google translated it, and it told me it was Guyane Française. Dynamismcool (talk) 21:44, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Also if it WAS Guyane, it would just be Guiana. Dynamismcool (talk) 21:47, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Google Translator isn’t a reliable source, and the names for places in different languages aren’t always literal word-for-word translations of each other. What counts is what the department is actually called in the department, and that’s “Guyane”. Look at actual French reliable sources that refer to it to see what they call it. Here’s a starter list, consisting of pages on French government sites: [1]. Largoplazo (talk) 21:51, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, you win…. But I did research and Guyane is the most common and official name. But Guyane Française is the long name. Dynamismcool (talk) 21:55, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I change it to Guyane Française because it’s easier to tell from Guyana. Dynamismcool (talk) 08:28, 26 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You’re welcome to go argue with France over what they call it, but we’re telling readers what they do call it, not what one Wikipedia editor thinks they should call it. Largoplazo (talk) 14:51, 26 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I’m sorry if it seems like I’m trying to argue, because I am not. All I’m saying is both names are accurate, but your right. I’m sorry. Dynamismcool (talk) 15:02, 26 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

And I’m starting to realize, some of my edits are bad and completley wrong. So I’m sorry. Dynamismcool (talk) 15:04, 26 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
