  Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Kalam cosmological argument, 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. Hashstalk 00:34, 9 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Okay, sorry, it was a genuine mistake. In future I will try and have sources to hand before adding material to articles.--Phil of rel (talk) 17:19, 9 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Citations are often placed at the end of a paragraph

Citations

Hi Phil. Thanks for your contributions to Robert Maudsley. In the future though, please don't place the same reference in an article twice, as you did at that article. Have a read of WP:REFNAME to learn how to use the same reference more than once. Also if you have the time it's preferred that you don't place bare URLs on Wikipedia, for reasons outlined at Wikipedia:Bare URLs. An approved formatting method, such as Template:Cite web, is recommended. Have a great day. Damien Linnane (talk) 22:54, 14 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Thank you very much for the info. I admit that I was ignorant of those particular pieces of wikipedia policy- there is an awful lot to memorise. Hope you have a great day too.--Phil of rel (talk) 00:08, 15 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
Oh there's a ridiculous amount to learn so don't feel bad at all; I've been doing this for 13 years and I'm still learn new things about editing. I mostly mentioned it because I wish more people had of given me advice when I was new. :) Damien Linnane (talk) 06:10, 15 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Just to cap this section, so people do not get a misleading impression that I am entirely new to wikipedia, I have edited it before somewhat, I am just using a pseudonymous account because I edit controversial articles and don't want my real name associated with what I edit.--Phil of rel (talk) 23:03, 16 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Anthony Hardy, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Depression. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
