Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Your edits to the infobox at 2017 Mississippi shootings

FYI - Infoboxes are supposed to summarize important information that appears in the main text. Your edits added information that only appears in the infobox, this is against WP:MOS, see Help:Infobox#What should an infobox contain? for more info. Also, all the supposed details as the information had appeared in the infobox was unsourced. All that can be stated in the infobox is what appears in the cited sources, that 4 different weapons were used or fired during this spree killings events. The perpetrator used 3 of them and one of the dead victims used the 4th. The gun info as it appeared in the cited sources is now present in the main text - Shearonink (talk) 20:12, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

CZ 457 moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to CZ 457. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it has no sources. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Josey Wales ^Parley 22:03, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

The reason I decided to create the CZ 457 Wikipedia page was because no one else did it yet & I could only find a Czech language Wikipedia page for this .22 rifle despite it being the CZ flagship .22 rifle currently made (https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CZ_457). Make sure you guys do a better job at polishing this page & get it updated. All i did was the rough draft. Make sure you finish the job. Stormm001 (talk) 22:07, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

Unfortunately, the onus is on the creator of the article to provide references to reliable sources when publishing the article (see reliable sources), otherwise the article may be deleted or sent to draft. There are about 9,000 new articles waiting to be reviewed for such problems and the reviewers usually dont have the time to spare to make improvements Josey Wales ^Parley 08:23, 26 September 2024 (UTC)

Covina massacre cites

When you are adding cites to articles, like you did at Covina massacre with this edit, the "access-date" parameter is supposed to be the date you, the editor, access the reference. So it wouldn't be the date of the incident or the date of the cited reference, it would be the date you access the reference, the date you placed the reference in the article. So if you edit the article today, and today is September 30, 2024, that would be the actual access-date. - Shearonink (talk) 16:43, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

 You are invited to join the discussion at Talk:Lockheed Martin shooting § What weapon was actually used in the shooting...let us discuss. Shearonink (talk) 04:04, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

FYI: About your cites...

I've mentioned this to you before. When you cite a reference, the access date is the date you access the reference, not the date the news article, book, etc was written or published. In the references you have been putting into articles - for instance, recently in Lockheed Martin shooting - you are still stating the published date as your access-date... - Shearonink (talk) 02:58, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

Me again. Please make sure you're putting in the date you add the info in a cite as the access date. Thanks, Shearonink (talk) 18:52, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

One more time.

access-date in the cite template is the date you, the editor, find the info and you add it to the article, not the date of the event itself and not the date the source was published. - Shearonink (talk) 20:21, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

My apologies. I’m new to Wikipedia & still have a lot to learn Stormm001 (talk) 20:42, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

October 2024

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to 2007 SuccessTech Academy shooting, 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. Faulty referencing...

So far as I can tell, none of the cited sources in this article mention the specific manufacturers & models of the 2 revolvers used in this school shooting. In the sources, the weapons seem to be only id'ed as a .22 revolver & a .38 revolver.

Also, Wikipedia cannot use an editor's expertise as a source. The "Asa Coons" guns photo does not clearly identify the make & model of the 2 revolvers. You might be able to identify them from the photo, I might be able to identify them from the photo but readers have to be able to verify that information in a reliable published source. Shearonink (talk) 17:36, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

Infobox edits

This is a continuing iasue with your edits. You add specific information to a shooting article's infobox but that information does not exist within the main body of the article. For instance, even though your edits to 2024 Apalachee High School shooting contained reliable sources, you added specific make/model information to the infobox even though that information does not exist within the main article text.
Please take a careful look at Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Infoboxes. It states "The purpose of an infobox is to summarize, but not supplant, the key facts that appear in an article. ... an article should remain complete with its infobox ignored. The less information that an infobox contains, the more effectively it serves its purpose, allowing readers to identify key facts at a glance."
Adding weapons information to an infobox without integrating that information into the main article text isn't as useful as integrating specific weapons information into the article. Infoboxes are supposed to be a short and succinct summary, the main article text then expands on whatever is presented in the infobox.
I also want you to understand something here...I am trying to help you. I know you are new around here - Wikipedia can be an overwhelming place for a new editor with lots of policies and rules. You are enthusiastic about adding weapons information to infoboxes...consider adding make/model/gauge/manufacturer info from published reliable sources to the actual article instead. - Shearonink (talk) 18:53, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for your contributions to Ruger LC Carbine. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Ruger LC Carbine moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Ruger LC Carbine. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability and because the only source currently in the article is from the manufacturer so it's not independent of the subject. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.
