Hello, I'm Quxyz, and welcome to Wikipedia. I appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Kahoot!, it appears that you added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. ✶Quxyz✶ (talk) 10:54, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

[edit] Hello, Forrestmiller125. We welcome your contributions, but it appears as if your primary purpose on Wikipedia is to add citations to sources you may be affiliated with.
Editing in this way is a violation of the policy against using Wikipedia for promotion and is a form of conflict of interest. The editing community considers excessive self-citing to be a form of spamming on Wikipedia (WP:REFSPAM); the edits will be reviewed and the citations removed where it was not appropriate to add them.
If you wish to continue contributing, please first consider citing other reliable secondary sources such as review articles that were written by other researchers in your field and that are already highly cited in the literature. If you wish to cite sources for which you may have a conflict of interest, please start a new section on the article's talk page and add {{Edit COI}} to ask a volunteer to review whether or not the citation should be added.

Acknowledgment of warnings and updated COI workflow
[edit]Thank you to Quxyz (April warning) and MrOllie (May warning) for the feedback on my prior edits. I've reviewed WP:COI, WP:PROMO, WP:SELFCITE, and WP:REFSPAM, and have added a COI/PAID disclosure to my user page naming BingWow Research as the connected entity per the Wikimedia Foundation Terms of Use.
Going forward, all BingWow-related Wikipedia activity from this account will go through {{edit COI}} requests on article talk pages rather than direct edits, so uninvolved editors can evaluate proposed additions on their merits. I've posted an initial such request at Talk:Social_viewing#Edit request: 2026 watch party platform feature audit data as an example of the workflow I intend to use.
If there are aspects of the disclosure or the workflow that don't meet current best practice, I'd welcome correction.

[edit] Hello, I'm Gnomingstuff. An edit that you recently made seemed to be generated using a large language model (an "AI chatbot" or other application using such technology). Text produced by these applications is not allowed on Wikipedia, and may contain factually inaccurate statements, fictitious citations, or other problems. You should instead read reliable sources and then summarize those in your own words. Your edit may have been reverted. If you want to practice editing, please use your sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or ask your questions at the Teahouse, a friendly place for new users. Thanks.
