Katie Holmes edit

edit

Do you have a reliable source for Holmes' date of birth that led you to revert the removal? If so, please restore the date with a proper citation. I have again removed the date, which had no source indicated in the article. Eddie Blick (talk) 02:37, 5 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Betsy Brandt edit

edit

I see that you also restored the unsourced date of birth in Betsy Brandt. Again, a date of birth needs a reliable source. Eddie Blick (talk) 02:41, 5 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

December 2021

edit

  Please 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 Nicholas Stoller. Thank you. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 09:26, 5 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

BLP discretionary sanctions alert

edit

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Jamie Chung

edit

  Hi. Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for working to improve the site with your edit to Jamie Chung, as we really appreciate your participation. However, the edit had to be reverted, because Wikipedia cannot accept uncited material. Wikipedia requires that the material in its articles be accompanied by reliable, verifiable (usually secondary) sources explicitly cited in the article text in the form of an inline citation, which you can learn to make here. If you ever have any other questions about editing, or need help regarding the site's policies, just let me know by leaving a message for me in a new section at the bottom of my talk page. Thanks.

January 2022

edit

  Please stop adding unreferenced or poorly referenced biographical content, especially if controversial, to articles or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at Jonathan Keltz. 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. SuperMarioMan (Talk) 21:43, 19 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

  Hi Rivianboy9834! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Jonathan Keltz that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

February 2022

edit

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you violate Wikipedia's no original research policy by inserting unpublished information or your personal analysis into an article, as you did at Shawn Hatosy. Someone posting a picture of a birthday cake on Twitter with 40 candles is hardly a reliable source and imputing a WP:DOB from that is pure WP:SYN. You need to start being much more careful when editing articles on WP:BLP. Toddst1 (talk) 14:42, 7 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced or poorly sourced material to Wikipedia, as you did with most of your editting on numerous articles. Twitter is explicitly WP:UGC and much of your use of twitter is at best WP:SYN. You also need to understand the limits of WP:SELFSOURCE. Toddst1 (talk) 14:57, 7 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you violate Wikipedia's no original research policy by inserting unpublished information or your personal analysis into an article, as you did at Bess Kalb. You need to get much more serious about editing. That article says she was then pregnant with her hopefully second child. It says she was hospitalized with complications of the pregnancy. There is no indication she carried the fetus full term. Toddst1 (talk) 02:06, 13 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Biographies of living persons

edit

  Please do not add content which gives undue weight to some statement about a living person, as you did at Theo James. On Wikipedia we take particular care over articles about living people.

New information, even if referenced, should be added only if noteworthy, relevant and documented in multiple reliable third-party sources. Wikipedia is not a newspaper and material should not be added if it is only gossip or has little longer-term importance, or if the only sourcing is tabloid journalism.

If challenged, the onus is on the editor who adds the content to justify its retention. Thank you. KyleJoantalk 01:42, 13 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Incorrect birth year

edit

Can you explain why you changed the WP:DOB on Ayesha Dharker to a different year than what the supplied source says? Toddst1 (talk) 16:15, 13 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hi Toddst1, a user edited it to 1967, so I reverted the error. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rivianboy9834 (talkcontribs) 16:20, 13 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
I see that. Unfortunately, the year you restored wasn't the correct year. You make the edit, you own it. Toddst1 (talk) 20:51, 13 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

May 2022

edit

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced or poorly sourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Erik Palladino. You have received more than enough warnings about this. Any further repetitions will see you blocked from editing. SuperMarioMan (Talk) 23:21, 24 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

August 2023

edit

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Rudy Giuliani. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:43, 23 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
