Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Dave Roller, it appears that you have 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. Thank you. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 15:13, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
- As a follow-up to the template above, please do not remove maintenance tags without addressing the problem, like you did with the unreferenced article tag. See When to Remove Maintenance Tags. Also, as Dave Roller is the only article you have edited, please read about editing articles you have a conflict of interest in. Lastly, please note that no one owns articles on Wikipedia and that there is manual of style for how articles are written. Your edits do not adhere to the manual of style. Please note that continuing to edit in this manner will ultimately lead to your account being blocked. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 15:28, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Dave Roller. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 18:33, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
- Mmm1313, you need to reply here on the talk page. Please don't revert anymore until we discuss the issues I brought up. There are a lot of policies and guidelines on Wikipedia that need to be followed to add material here. I can tell you are well-meaning, so I really don't want to block you for this. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 18:35, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
I am posting this message I wrote on my own talk page to make sure you see it:
- Hi Mmm1313, first off, I appreciate the fact that you want this best for the article on Dave Roller. However, you seem to not fully grasp what Wikipedia is and how it works. Here are a few pages you should read about before further editing:
- Wikipedia is not a web hosting service.
- You should not edit articles for which you have a conflict of interest.
- You do not own any articles on Wikipedia and all of your contributions are released forever for anyone to edit, rewrite or reuse.
- All content, especially biographies of living people must include reliable sources that are verifiable. The responsibility is on you, the person adding the material, to provide sources. If you don't, it is considered original research, which is not allowed.
- Content must be written in a neutral point of view and should stay focused on the subject's notability for inclusion in Wikipedia.
- There is a Manual of Style that explains how an article should be laid out, formatted, and written.
- The version of the article you wrote is lacking in all of these issues. It is nothing personal, it is just the way we do things around here. There are very cheap alternatives to Wikipedia where you can write whatever you would like about Dave Roller.
- All that said, if you would like to improve the article, here are a few ways:
- Find and post reliable sources (you can use services like Newspapers.com to find old articles)
- Upload a freely licensed image of Dave Roller for use in his article
- Recommend changes on the article's talk page.
- Please, take the time to click on the links I provided and read through our policies and guidelines before you continue editing. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 23:49, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
