Vim shows multiple errors before starting - vim

Question

SOLVED: bad colorscheme .vim file.
Whenever I start up vim, I always get a flood of errors and then a "Press ENTER or type command to continue" message. Then vim works fine.
I just have no idea what the cause of it is.I am on a Linux machine.
line 5045:
E488: Trailing characters: </div>
line 5048:
E488: Trailing characters: <script crossorigin=

Here is my .vimrc file. It is just the example one with some editing. I am still a beginner.

Vim complains about HTML tags, so it looks like you've installed a bad Vimscript, grabbing a (formatted) web page instead of the raw contents.
Either go back to the page and copy/paste from the browser, or (e.g. in GitHub) get the raw file contents and save that.
