editWikipedia works on "verifiability, not truth" as a guiding principle. This policy states that “Wikipedia's content is determined by previously published information rather than the beliefs or experiences of its editors. Even if you're sure something is true, it must be verifiable before you can add it. That we have rules for the inclusion of material does not mean that Wikipedians have no respect for truth and accuracy, just as a court's reliance on rules of evidence does not mean the court does not respect truth. Wikipedia values accuracy, but it requires verifiability.
According to Wikipedia’s verifiability policy, "All material in Wikipedia mainspace, including everything in articles, lists, and captions, must be verifiable".
Wikipedia sets policies for very good reasons. If articles aren't fully referenced, they will lose their accuracy, reliability, and usefulness. BoyTheKingCanDance (talk) 02:14, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
Iñaki Godoy moved to draftspace
editThanks for your contributions to Iñaki Godoy. Unfortunately, it is not ready for publishing because it needs more sources to establish notability and Twitter is not a reliable source. Your article is now a draft where you can improve it undisturbed for a while.
Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. ~ Eejit43 (talk) 12:54, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

editPlease stop. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Joe Pingue, you may be blocked from editing. I may have to revert a slew of your edits. Drmies (talk) 14:37, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
- Pinging IJBall. Drmies (talk) 14:38, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
- IJBall, never mind--just another sock, and a lousy one at that. Drmies (talk) 14:41, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Drmies: Yeah, I thought my only interaction with this editor was at Martin Roach yesterday, so I wasn't sure why I was pinged! But from the interaction report, it looks like we've edited about 2 dozen articles in common, though with only meaningful interactions at Martin Roach and Danielle Savre. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 14:45, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that one or more recent edit(s) you made did not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief.
The edit summary field looks like this:
Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)
Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary, and then click the "Save" button. Thanks! Drmies (talk) 14:38, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
