Lil Wayne

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Lil Wayne, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you.-- The Red Pen of Doom 17:37, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Please do not add content without citing reliable sources, as you did to Lil Wayne. Before making potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you.—Kww(talk) 20:35, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Please do not add unsourced or original content. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. JBsupreme (talk) 15:23, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits.
The next time you disrupt Wikipedia, you will be blocked from editing. JBsupreme (talk) 15:38, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Reliable sources

Hello, please read our guideline about what we consider reliable sources. YouTube videos are self published and have no editorial oversight or a strong reputation for fact checking and therefore are not considered proper sourcing for material in an article. -- The Red Pen of Doom 17:16, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Lil Wayne warning

Hi. I've reverted your change to the above article; as you've been informed in the past, using unsourced material on any article is a bad thing, and it's especially problematic when it violates our biographies of living persons guidelines. The information is unreferenced, and disparages the subject of the article without any backing whatsoever. Do not insert it again; if you have references that indicate that this is the case - and by references I do not mean YouTube videos, I mean reliable sources such as reputable newspapers or magazines - then discuss the need for adding such material with other editors on Talk:Lil Wayne to determine if there is consensus for adding it. If you add it without discussion, you will be blocked from editing. Tony Fox (arf!) 21:22, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Talk:The Hershey Company, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 23:31, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Posts re Crash

Regarding your posts at Talk:Crash (2004 film) and Talk:Paul Haggis - do you have any independent reliable secondary sources to back this up? Cirt (talk) 21:26, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Yes, watch the movie traffic, than watch crash. the proof is in the pudding.
