Edits to sourced information edit

I have noticed in a few of your edits you alter content so that it contradicts what it says in the accompanying source, such as with this edit to Gulliver's Travels (2010 film). By all means if you have a source that says something else then please add the content, but with a source in the article. Just saying where you got it in the edit summary is no good because readers and editors don't generally check the edit summaries. Also, if there is sourced content that contradicts the content in your sources, don't remove it; wikipedia is supposed to present all points of view, so it's better to have clearly attributed contradictory content in the article than to have editors arbitrarily selecting which content to include.

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Transformers: Dark of the Moon, please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit. 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.

  Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources, as you did to Tron: Legacy. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Betty Logan (talk) 19:04, 29 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Adding Sourced Information edit

When adding information for which there is a source to an article, please add the source into the article as well, rather than placing the source in the edit summary. Also, new information should not be included before a source which does not include the information being added. Thank you. Doniago (talk) 19:47, 5 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

Please stop adding unsourced information to articles, as you did to G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. Sources should be included in the text of the article per WP:CITE, not listed only in the edit summaries. Thank you. Doniago (talk) 20:16, 5 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

September 2011 edit

  Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Before saving your changes to an article, please provide an edit summary, which you forgot to do before saving your recent edit to Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (film). Doing so helps everyone understand the intention of your edit (and prevents legitimate edits from being mistaken for vandalism). It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. Trafford09 (talk) 23:43, 16 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

  Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (film), as "minor" only if they truly are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes, or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Trafford09 (talk) 23:43, 16 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

February 2012 edit

  Hi. Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for working to improve the site with your edit to Ghost Rider%: Spirit of Vengeance, as we really appreciate your participation. However, the edit had to be reverted, because Wikipedia cannot accept unsourced material or original research. This includes material lacking cited sources, or obtained through personal knowledge or unpublished synthesis of previously published material. Wikipedia requires that all material added to articles be accompanied by reliable, verifiable (usually secondary) sources explicitly cited in the text in the form of an inline citation, which you can learn to make here.

Also, only the first word and proper nouns are capitalized in headings, and the word DVD is entirely capitalized.

If you have any other questions about editing, or need help regarding the site's policies, just let me know by leaving a message for me in a new section at the bottom of my talk page. Thanks. :-) Nightscream (talk) 02:17, 24 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Matt Milne edit

 

The article Matt Milne has been proposed for deletion because, under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article. The nominator also raised the following concern:

All biographies of living people created after March 18, 2010, must have references.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.   An optimist on the run! 10:26, 17 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

July 2014 edit

  Hello, I'm The Last Arietta. I wanted to let you know that I undid one of your recent contributions, such as the one you made with this edit to Kia Stevens, because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. TLA 3x ♭ 14:25, 17 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

  Please refrain from making nonconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Michelle McCool with this edit. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism. Thank you. ~ twsx | talkcont | ~ 14:33, 17 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open! edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
