June 2016

Hello, I'm Doniago. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Howie D., but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. 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. Thank you! DonIago (talk) 15:48, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

Reference errors on 3 June

Hello, I'm ReferenceBot. I have automatically detected that an edit performed by you may have introduced errors in referencing. It is as follows:

• On the Howie D. page, your edit caused a broken reference name (help). (Fix | Ask for help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, ReferenceBot (talk) 00:29, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Leigh Dorough

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Leigh Dorough, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

• It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
• It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. reddogsix (talk) 02:13, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

Please stop adding unsourced content. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Acroterion (talk) 11:30, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

Your addition has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Acroterion (talk) 11:31, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

Please stop adding unreferenced or poorly referenced biographical content, especially if controversial, to articles or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at Brian Littrell. Content of this nature is in violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Acroterion (talk) 11:39, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

I have removed the very extensive unreferenced material from Leighanne Littrell again. I have done the same with Kristin Richardson. Please do not edit-war to replace it. All biographical material must be soundly referenced and must be appropriate in tone. The material I removed was neither. Wikipedia is not People magazine, the material is unsuited to an encyclopedia, and it's clear that much of the content was lifted from an interview, a direct violation of Wikipedia policy on attribution and copyrighted content. Please use the article talkpage to discuss. If you keep doing this you may be blocked for disruptive editing. Please read Wikipedia's policy on biographies of living persons, which explains why this kind of conduct is unacceptable. You are welcome to improve the article with appropriately-written referenced material in a neutral, non-promotional tone. Please remember that iMDb is not an acceptable source and that you may not copy text into Wikipedia. Acroterion (talk) 11:37, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

Additionally on Brian Littrell you added unreferenced discussions of medical conditions, again in violation of BLP and sourcing requirements. Wikipedia is not a gossip magazine. Acroterion (talk) 11:41, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Kristin Richardson

The article Kristin Richardson has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Acroterion (talk) 11:44, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

The references you provided are far short of the standard required for biographies. Please also remember that the spouses of notable people are not themselves inherently notable. See WP:BIO. Acroterion (talk) 11:47, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

June 2016

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Howie D.. DonIago (talk) 16:15, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for persistent disruptive editing. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Acroterion (talk) 16:22, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

You may not add unreferenced material to biographies. If this happens again after the block expires you may be blocked indefinitely. Acroterion (talk) 16:25, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

Request reason:

The new information on one of the pages Howie D. were new and actual true info for update purposes. i also added the source of the page to show proof that it's true. And as for the other pages such as Leighanne Littrell and Kristin Richardson]], the information are actually true and i added all the reliable resources for proof. Risingsinger (talk) 21:50, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

Decline reason:

In this edit, I don't see the sources for each of the bits of information you added, only a source for the last bit of info. Now, maybe I missed it. If I did, please request another unblock and be specific about the edits you are talking about. I just picked your most recent edit to Howie D., as that is the first thing you mentioned. Yamla (talk) 21:54, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

I also checked this edit which appears to be not only unreferenced but a blatant copyright violation from either here or from OK Magazine. --Yamla (talk) 21:56, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

Request reason:

the following edits i wrote in Howie D. were true facts and information based on what i found on recent interviews on YouTube and websites, like www.backstreet.net. The resources are in references:

Howie D.
Dorough at a NKOTBSB show in Newcastle Arena, 2012
Background information
Birth name	Howard Dwaine Dorough
Also known as	Howie D, Sweet D,
Born	(1973-08-22) August 22, 1973 Orlando, Florida, U.S.
Occupation(s)	Singer-songwriter, actor
Instrument(s)	Vocals, bass guitar
Years active	1990–present
Labels	Jive Records, RCA Records, K-BAHN
Spouse	Leigh Dorough
Website	howied.net

• At three years old, Dorough first demonstrated his talent for music and his first "follower" unconditional was his grandmother. He used to jump on their bed to sing songs "Baby Face" also excited playing his little toy guitar. Thanks to one of his older sisters, Pollyanna, Dorough gets his first role as an actor and singer in the musical "The Wizard of Oz". His mother enrolled him in a children 's theater company and after a short time, he participates in almost every theater group. At the same time, he enrolled in a song and dance academy, where he learned classical ballet, tap and jazz.

• During school, Dorough manages to get star in a television commercial for Disney World and acted in movies "Parenthood" and "cop and a half". He was also a tour guide at the studios "Universal Pictures" and worked at Zarro's Bread Basket in new York one summer.

• In 2016, Dorough gets honored at the Benrald walk of fame.

For the other edits on Leighanne Littrell, i didn't realized they were copyright until now. Guess i need to rewrite it and find other information with reliable sources and without copyright. Risingsinger (talk) 19:48, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

Struggle, in need of help

Making edits and creating new pages seem to be a lot of hard work. Does anyone how i can improved the pages i've created and others i might create? Risingsinger (talk) 20:41, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

First of all, you can't copy anything into Wikipedia. There are exceptions for specifically-licensed material, but 99% of the time you can't copy text into the encyclopedia. All material on the Internet or published in books and magazines is assumed to be copyrighted unless it's explicitly licensed otherwise. It's a freely-redistributable work, so all material used in the encyclopedia has to arrive similarly free. You did a copy/paste immediately after asking your question above, after receiving two clear warnings not to do that, and after you were blocked for doing it. Don't do it again.

Second, you must adapt the content to the demands of the encyclopedia. Encyclopedias don't have peppy feature articles on celebrity spouses. The encyclopedic style is spare, simple, and straightforward. Adjectives and adverbs are discouraged, as are more than perfunctory quotes. No chatty prose about the exciting life of celebrities like you see in the material you copied.

Third, all material, particularly in biographies, must be sourced. I doubt, for instance, that the places you found the text you copied would qualify as reliable sources. We're looking for relatively sober factual newspaper and magazine articles, not People and OK. See WP:V and WP:BLP.

Fourth, all subjects must meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Minor actors who are spouses of the more famous rarely merit articles. Notability is not inherited by association with a famous person. See WP:NOTE and WP:BIO, as well as WP:BLP.

Hope this helps. Acroterion (talk) 01:17, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

Your recent edits are a little better, but they still read like something from Tiger Beat. There's far too much detail, most of it appears to be unsourced, and the tone is still that of a feature article in a celebrity magazine. I don't have time to read the sources to see if there are any copies or close paraphrases or if all of the statements are really sourced, but 75% could be cut. People don't have "adventures" in encyclopedias, not even if they're going to Pluto, nor are they ever described as "dazed" unless they're medically concussed. Acroterion (talk) 11:48, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

Risingsinger, with regards to what Acroterion discusses here, I'd suggest a review of WP:TONE. Wikipedia articles should be written in an encyclopedic manner. Cheers. DonIago (talk) 13:03, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

Have you read anything I've written about appropriate tone? The Rochelle McLean article was one of the most impressive works of inappropriate prose I've ever seen on Wikipedia, and the subject was not even close to satisfying WP:BIO. If you continue to introduce breathles teen-pop magazine prose !!!!! you may be blocked, if for no reason than to get your attention. Maybe the secodn block will work. Your intentions are good, but you appear to be incapable of understanding Wikipedia's notability guidelines or of writing an appropriate biography in a tone befitting an encyclopedia rather than a fan mag.

To Whom May Be Concern,

It's makes very clear that the articles, Leighanne Littrell and Kristin Richardson, were not very good articles. As its creator, it makes me realized that i shouldn't even write any more articles and trying to asked myself if i should stay or leave. It's clearly stated that maybe i'm not right for this type of editing, writing or finding reliable sources and i'm probably a terrible writer. I think it's best someone else could do this better. Risingsinger (talk) 03:40, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

I disagree. It's clear that you can write well, but the problem is that you can't adapt your writing style to the environment in which you're working. You seem to be stuck in fan-mag style, which is more informal than feature writing, which in turn is far less formal that that of an encyclopedia. You must:

• Adapt the style to the medium by observing how others in that arena write, and
• Adapt the content to the medium by understanding what is appropriate for inclusion and what is not

These skills are extremely useful in real life. You would use a different style for writing promotional content about your employer than you would in writing a report that may have legal impact, for instance. Your resume would be wrtten differently than a letter to a family member. Think about this a little, think about what kind of biographies show up in encyclopedias, as opposed to popular culture magazines, and how they are written, and what sources they draw upon. Adapt your writing style, and I think you'll find that you've gained a valuable skill.

You also must work on listening to advice and interacting with other editors who can help you. I don't see much evidence that you've tried to incorporate advice given to you farther up this page, and are instead being negative about yourself. Acroterion (talk) 11:41, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

One thing you can change immediately: stop using contractions on Wikipedia. Leaving aside the absence of referencing, "She is of Italian descent" is appropriate. "She's of Italian descent" is not. Contractions are associated with the breezy, informal style of feature writing. Encyclopedias don't do that. Again, please work on adapting your writing style to the context in which you are writing, it's an essential skill. Acroterion (talk) 02:15, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. I have noticed that you're adding a lot of uncited content to this and other entertainer articles. Uncited material is subject to challenge and/or removal. Stevie is the man! ^{Talk • Work} 12:57, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Mollee Gray

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Mollee Gray requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://articlebio.com/mollee-gray. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Littrell again

Completely apart from the breathless fanzine style, this sentence:

"But this would all change While a junior in high school, Littrell’s cousin, Kevin called him out of a American History class and tells him about auditioning for the Backstreet Boys, which he did over the phone at 9pm on April 19, 1993 and the next day he changed plans and flown to Orlando where he’d become the final member of the Backstreet Boys, and eventually was able to finished high school by the same tutor as AJ and Nick, even though Brian got to go to high school, and even went back for finals"

pretty well defines run-on sentence. We really do expect you to write properly, and in a style that is appropriate for an encyclopedia rather than Tiger Beat. We don't use contractions in most cases, and we don't insert parenthetical commentary "(and crush!)", and I doubt that "the hole in his heart caused his heart to enlarge the size of a 300 pound linebacker". Maybe his heart enlarged to a size like the heart of a linebacker, but we really don't need that level of detail in any case. You've done some good work in finding better sourcing, but you've mixed in teen pop magazines with Rolling Stone and the result could be scaled back by about 80% and rewritten in the cold, sober tones of an encyclopedia. This is a good opportunity to practice writing in a different style, which will be a valuable skill later in life. You must write according to the medium in which you're publishing - not everything can be a gushing feature article. You've stuck with Wikipedia and you deserve credit for that - now you can move on to the next step, which involves choosing sources judiciously and writing mature, sober prose.

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Risingsinger. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page In Real Life (band), you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
• disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. – Broccoli & Coffee ^{(Oh hai)} 23:41, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

October 2018

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for violating copyright policy by copying text or images into Wikipedia from another source without evidence of permission. You have been previously warned that this is against policy, but have persisted. Please take this opportunity to ensure that you understand our copyright policy and our policies regarding how to use non-free content.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 12:37, 1 October 2018 (UTC)

I have blocked your account, because in spite of repeated warnings, you continued to add copyright material to Wikipedia in violation of our copyright policy. You cannot resume editing until you provide a clear statement that demonstrates that you have read and understand our copyright policy and intend to follow it in the future. ¬¬¬¬

Request reason:

well, for starters, i only added a few information sources without copying and pasting from its original site, so i don't understand what i did wrong or what i missed

Decline reason:

In order to lift the block, we need to be certain that you understand how copyright works on Wikipedia. To allow the reviewing administrator to assess your understanding, please respond to the following questions in your next unblock appeal, explaining in your own words:

• What is copyright?
• How is Wikipedia licenced?
• Why is copyrighted content not allowed on Wikipedia?
• Under what circumstances can we use copyrighted content?
• How do you intend to avoid violating the copyright policy in the future?

Your answers will enable us to establish whether or not you should be unblocked. Yunshui ^雲_水 07:33, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

Request reason:

i thought i read the copyright policy, i really did over and over, so i had to double-check and review a second time. i'm pretty sure some of the stuff i put wasn't a copy or from the resources.Risingsinger (talk) 19:00, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

Decline reason:

You're welcome to craft a new unblock request, but you'll need to answer Yunshui's questions, above. Please be careful not to simply copy-and-paste your answers, as that too would be copyright infringement. Yamla (talk) 19:10, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

Request reason:

What is copyright? Copyright is a type of legal right that exists in many countries which grants rights to the creator, whether an artist, producer, etc. to use their work for many purposes to keep others from stealing them. How is Wikipedia licenced? Wikipedia is licenced under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike 3.0 Unported Licence and the GNU Free Documentation Licence. Why is copyrighted content not allowed on Wikipedia? Wikipedia is subjected to the US Copyright Law in this matter, so not a lot copyright sources are allowed. Under what circumstances can we use copyrighted content? We could only use copyrighted content if the original writer doesn't have a licence under certain circumstances called fine use. How do you intend to avoid violating the copyright policy in the future? I intend to find resources by writing them in my own words without copying and pasting information. So After reviewing and answering each question that was given to me, I'm hoping this will get me unblock and help me avoid copyright intention. Risingsinger (talk) 21:59, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

Decline reason:

You are close, but "fine use" isn't a thing. And what about copyrighted content available under a license, could we still use that without following the license? Yamla (talk) 14:27, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

Request reason:

I must've missed that when i was reading through the FAQ, but I highly doubt that Wikipedia is allowed to use copyright content without reading the license first. There are some licenses they're allowed to used and others they're not allowed to use. For it is unauthorized, it could be permissible without the "fair use" clause of the subject. Wikipedia may not allowed to use any material which will violate the US copyright law, as for some licenses, such as noncommercial and educational licenses, are restricted. I seem to fill in the missing piece to the questions. Risingsinger (talk) 18:36, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Procedural decline only. This unblock request has been open for more than two weeks but has not proven sufficiently convincing for any reviewing administrator to take action. You are welcome to request a new block review if you substantially reword your request. Yamla (talk) 10:59, 10 February 2019 (UTC)

Request reason:

Based on the information I've read to the questions given to me, i've reread and rewritten the answers more clearly. Turns out the Wikipedia isn't allowed to use copyright content. While there are some licenses they're allowed to used, there are also others they're not allowed to use. For it is unauthorized, it could be permissible without the clause of the subject since "fine use" isn't a thing. Wikipedia may not allowed to use any material, for it will violate the US copyright law, as for some licenses, such as noncommercial and educational licenses, are restricted. So, not all resources are required for Wikipedia to use since they must read their licences and get permission primary. So for I've read from here, I hope this will mostly get help me avoid copyright intention in the future. Risingsinger (talk) 16:40, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
