Hello, Bbilgili, and welcome to Wikipedia.

I strongly encourage you to read the messages on Talk:Burak Bilgili about your recent edits. I see that you also edited Eglise Gutiérrez to remove her birth date. This is acceptable because there was no reference for it, and the exact date of birth for living people can be removed for privacy reasons. I removed the name of her singing coach which you added as there is no published reference for this. Your personal knowledge is not sufficient.

However, I must ask you to please practice your editing in a personal sandbox, or place suggested addtions to articles on their talk pages until you gain more experience in editing, especially if you are not a native speaker of English. You should never remove whole sections of material, especially references, and then re-add material you've written yourself. The changes should be made gradually, respecting the current layout, formatting and wording of the article. You introduced ungrammatical English into the article by re-writing the sections you deleted, which I have now repaired.

I have made you a page where you can practice editing: User:Bbilgili/Sandbox. Unlike the main Wikipedia sandbox, it will not be automatically emptied. Your material will stay there until you personally change or delete it. Note that Sandboxes and other User pages are subject to the same rules as Wikipedia articles. They cannot contain copyright material.

Here are some pages that new editors often find helpful:

And most importantly:

Be sure to sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically produce your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question here.

If you are interested in opera-related articles, do drop by WikiProject Opera. We are a group writing, editing, and maintaining Wikipedia articles on operas, opera terminology, opera composers and librettists, singers, designers, directors and managers, companies and houses, publications and recordings. On the project's talk page editors working in the area can exchange ideas and ask questions. New members are always welcome.

Judging by the fact that your edits are identitcal to those of the anonymous 67.164.56.77, please read my comments to him on User talk:67.164.56.77. I have repaired the damage you did to it once again, including removing information from references. If you have a personal connection to Eglise Gutiérrez, you are her doing no favours to her by making her Wikipedia article ungrammatical and poorly referenced. Please stop.

You have just removed the [citation needed] tag from this statement in Eglise Gutiérrez: "She presently works with the voice teacher, William Schumann." This is a biography of a living person. All personal information must be referenced. Please do not remove the tag until you provide a valid reference. Your removal of this tag has been reverted twice by two separate editors. Your continued reversion either by this user name or as 67.164.56.77 can lead to you being blocked. Voceditenore (talk) 10:51, 10 September 2009 (UTC)Reply


  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Eglise Gutiérrez. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. Voceditenore (talk) 11:10, 10 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Note that your alternating editing under this name and as 67.164.56.77 makes no difference to this warning. Voceditenore (talk) 11:19, 10 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Today's removal of a reference from a reputable source, NPR, in the Burak Bilgili article has been reverted by yet another editor. That makes THREE EDITORS who disagree with you. Viva-Verdi (talk) 15:33, 11 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, you will be blocked from editing.
