I am HiLo48 and I have been editing Wikipedia for some time, so if you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page.

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Margaret Court, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Dirkbb (talk) 12:41, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Linus Torvalds, 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. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. Prolog (talk) 09:58, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

Please stop adding unreferenced or poorly referenced biographical content, especially if controversial, to articles or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at Linus Torvalds. Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory and is in violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

The best-selling book of all time should be able to be used as other sources are. I will withdraw. Nofibs (talk) 07:42, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

Please read WP:BLP and WP:OR: "To demonstrate that you are not adding original research, you must be able to cite reliable, published sources that are directly related to the topic of the article and directly support the material being presented." This policy applies to every article on Wikipedia. Prolog (talk) 09:22, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
