August 2011

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article The Krankies, please cite a reliable source for your addition. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Nikthestoned 11:53, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Note that I've left that change in place, given the rest of the articles lack of sources. This, however, will not always be the case. For example, your recent change to the Mark Ronson article was immediately reverted, as well it should have been without a source. Nikthestoned 11:56, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Rachel Allen, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Irish (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Madeline Duggan, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it.

Non-existent categories

Before adding a category to an article, as you did to Lauren Laverne, please make sure that the category page actually exists. In some cases, it may be appropriate to create a new category in accordance with Wikipedia's categorization guidelines, but it is usually better to use the most specific available existing category. It is never appropriate to leave a page categorised in a non-existent category, i.e. one whose link displays in red. You may find it helpful to use the gadget HotCat, which tests whether a category exists before saving a change. Thank you. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 08:30, 23 February 2020 (UTC)

PS please note that you added Lauren Laverne to Category:English vegetarians, which was deleted by consensus at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 February 11#Category:Vegetarians. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 08:31, 23 February 2020 (UTC)

Shenley Brook End

With regret, I have had to revert your edit. Wp: Wikipedia is not a newspaper. The case of Leah, distressing as it is and very notable locally, is not nationally wp: notable. But if you can find a report in a national newspaper or the BBC/ITV, then certainly undo my reversion when you can add the source. If you aren't sure how to do that, see {{cite news}}, use {{helpme}}, or leave a note for me on my talk page. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 22:50, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

Please stop adding unreferenced or poorly referenced biographical content, especially if controversial, to articles or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at Sam Aston. Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory and is in violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. – DarkGlow • 20:05, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

Direct, reliable sources needed for Days of the Year pages

You're probably not aware of this change, but Days of the Year pages now require direct reliable sources for additions. For details see the content guideline, the WikiProject Days of the Year style guide or the edit notice on any DOY page. Almost all new additions without a reliable source as a reference are now being reverted on-sight.

Please do not add new additions to these pages without direct sources as the burden to provide them is on the editor who adds or restores material to these pages.

Block notice

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for persistently adding unsourced or poorly sourced content. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 22:17, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

• You've been warned many many times (including final warnings) regarding the requirement to include reliable sources when adding or changing information in articles. Not only have you continued on violating WP:BLP, you have never addressed the concerns raised. Even more worrisome, in 13 years of editing you have never communicated with another editor. You are blocked for 48 hours in order to provide you the opportunity to review our core policies and consensus-determined guidelines regarding sourcing and living persons. If the same issues arise once the block expires, it is entirely likely you will be blocked for a much longer duration.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 22:17, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
• Please also ensure you review WP:BLPCAT and WP:CATDEF. You are adding categories to biographies contrary to policies regarding their inclusion.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 22:22, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
