MOVING UNCITED MATERIAL TO TALK PAGE INCLUDE WP:BLP IF IT'S A BIO ARTICLE!

Uncited material in need of citations

[edit]

I am moving the following uncited material here until it can be properly supported with inline citations of reliable, secondary sources, per WP:V, WP:NOR, WP:CS, WP:NOR, WP:IRS, WP:PSTS, et al. [ This diff] shows where it was in the article. SIGNATURE

Extended content

BASIC PRINCIPLES OF DECENT WRITING Also, please understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and should be written with care taken in adhering to basic principles of writing, such as spelling and punctuation.

WP:SURNAME Also, please remember that as an encyclopedia, material in Wikipedia must be written in a formal tone, which means, among other things, that we do not refer to the subjects of biographical articles by their given name, as indicated by WP:SURNAME.

PREVIEW/CHECK EDITS FOR ERRORS If you're new to Wikipedia, please preview your edits, and/or check them after saving them, so that they do not result in errors like [LINK this one]. If your edits end up creating such an error and you can't fix it, try asking other editors like myself for help.

POP CULTURAL SYNTH Hi. Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for working to improve the site with [LINK your edit to ], as we really appreciate your participation. However, the edit had to be reverted, because Wikipedia cannot accept uncited material or original research. 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. With regard to material about the content of narrative works that is evaluative, analytical or interpretive, the source must be a secondary source, and it must explicitly mention the information in relation to the work in question. Relying instead on personal observation or interpretation is referred to on Wikipedia as original research. One type of original research is the use of primary sources to form conclusions not explicitly in those sources, which is called synthesis.

In addition, trivial information that is not salient or relevant enough to be incorporated into the major sections of an article should not be included, as per WP:TRIVIA. 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. SIGNATURE

LEVEL 1 NEUTRALITY / WP:NPOV

Hi. Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for working to improve the site with [LINK your edit to ], as we really appreciate your participation. However, the edit had to be reverted, because the personal opinions, analyses or commentary of editors cannot be added to Wikipedia articles. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. 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. SIGNATURE

In articles about works of fiction, material that is analytical or evaluative must come from secondary sources, which must be cited in the article. Thanks. SIGNATURE

COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but your [LINK edits to ARTICLE] have been removed, as they appear to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from [EXTERNALLINK the copyright holder]. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images copied verbatim into Wikipedia. You may use external websites as a source of information, but the material you find must be properly paraphrased when added to Wikipedia articles.

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. SIGNATURE

LEVEL 1 TALK PAGE ETIQUETTE

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not use Wikipedia Talk Pages as a message boards or forum, as you did with [LINK this edit to Talk:]. As explained at WP:FORUM, WP:SOAPBOX, and WP:TALK, article Talk Pages are solely to discuss ways to improve the article, and not for general discussion of the article's topic. For information on Talk Page etiquette, see Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines. If you ever have any other questions about editing, just let me know by leaving a message for me in a new section at the bottom of my talk page. Thanks. SIGNATURE

SIGN YOUR POSTS Also, please make sure you sign your talk page posts, which makes it easier for everyone to know who they're addressing. You can do this by typing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of them, which also automatically time stamps them.

SIGN UP FOR A USERNAME ACCOUNT Also, while Wikipedia allows one-time editors to edit anonymously, it expects those who intend to edit more frequently to sign in for a username account.
