Welcome!
editHello, IPIPIPIP, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits did not conform to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may have been removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations verified in reliable, reputable print or online sources or in other reliable media. Always provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.

editHello, I'm Sangdeboeuf. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Angela White, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page.
Self-published websites are not usable for biographical information about third parties. See WP:PORN#Generally unreliable sources. Thank you. Sangdeboeuf (talk) 00:33, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
Mary Carey
editGreetings. I see that you recently added material to Mary Carey citing AVN. This site's actor profiles (as opposed to news articles) are copied from other sites and cannot be treated as reliable; see WP:PORN#AVN. Please only add material to biographies of living persons that is supported by reliable sources. Thank you. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 06:48, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

editPlease do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living (or recently deceased) persons, as you did to Tory Lane.
A tweet by the subject saying "happy birthday to me" is not sufficient to establish the birth date of a living person. Different sources should not be combined to extrapolate the date of birth. This would be original research. Thank you. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 05:02, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

editPlease do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living (or recently deceased) persons, as you did to Lana Rhoades.

Introduction to contentious topics
editYou have recently edited a page related to articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially-designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
- adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
- comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
- follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
- comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
- refrain from gaming the system.
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.
Reference names
editWhy did you remove the names of the references in this edit?[1] Keeping the names intact makes it easier for others to reuse the reference for whatever reason. Morbidthoughts (talk) 21:29, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
- I removed them because they were singular references and not pointing to anything else. I don't mind restoring them if you'd prefer. IPIPIPIP (talk) 21:32, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
- You do not have to restore them. I'm just letting you know the impact of removal and that there is value in keeping them. Morbidthoughts (talk) 21:50, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
