editHello, I'm Jim1138. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Bessy Argyraki, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Jim1138 (talk) 18:29, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
Citations
editAdding references is how we ensure that content is valid. Without references, a reader can not easily validate information and there is no presumption of accuracy. This is covered by the Wikipedia policy of wp:verifiability. Please wp:cite your edits with wp:reliable sources. See Help:Citation Style 1, Help:Footnotes, and wp:Inline citations. An example: Steve Jobs (1955-2006)<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cnn.com/1234 |title=Steve Jobs obituary |author= Walter Green |work= [[CNN]] |date= November 15, 2006 |accessdate= February 2016}}</ref> which generates: Steve Jobs (1955-2006)[1] with the footnote automatically added to the References section ({{reflist}}
needed). Remember, unsourced content may be removed.
It can be complicated and there is help available. So, if you have any questions, please ask at the wp:Teahouse Thank you Jim1138 (talk) 18:41, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

Bessy Argyraki
editI undid your edit to Bessy Argyraki as there is nothing in your citations regarding Bessy Argyraki. A google does not return anything significant. This person does not appear to meet wp:notability (people).
This Bessy Argyraki article is a wp:biography of living persons (BLP). BLPs are required to have citations. See Help:Referencing for beginners Please do not restore the content without adding a citation demonstrating notability.
Also, this is the third time you have restored this material which was undone by three different editors. This is considered wp:Edit warring. Edit warring can result in your being wp:blocked. Thank you Jim1138 (talk) 10:55, 25 May 2016 (UTC)

editFirst, your user page is for writing about your activities on Wikipedia, not for writing about yourself. Your autobiography page title didn't conform to our article title policy, nor to English grammar. I've nominated Matt Pop for a deletion discussion.
You have an obvious conflict of interest, please don't write about yourself, your friends or relatives and read the guidance below:
- When you write about a person, you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that they meet the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the person or an associated organisation, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, discogs, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the person claims or interviewing them. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls. Most of your references are not adequate, and more to the point, it's not clear how you meet the notability criteria I've linked above.
- You must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic, with verifiable facts, not opinions or reviews. has created unofficial mixes for tracks of e.g. Bananarama, Katy Perry, Rick Astley, Britney Spears and Kylie Minogue... he started getting requests as a producer and remixer. seem to be completely unverified
- There shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.
- You must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.
Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read Your first article. I've seen worse, but if you write about yourself you need to get it spot-on Jimfbleak - talk to me? 10:44, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
