Dates of birth
[edit]Hi College Railman, just to let you know that I have reverted your edits to the articles about the Lawrences. Wikipedia has a quite strict policy about how we write about living people, which you can read here, and one of the points is that we shouldn't include personal information such as dates of birth unless there's a reliable source to support them. Sorry to have to revert you, and please ask here or on my talk page if you have any questions. Happy editing! Wham2001 (talk) 05:21, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Murder_of_Jay_Cook_and_Tanya_Van_Cuylenborg, as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. 2604:2000:8FC0:4:617F:E9A7:AF1C:4546 (talk) 21:56, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of List of youngest grandparents
[edit]
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on List of youngest grandparents requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.babygaga.com/15-of-the-worlds-youngest-grandparents/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. ... discospinster talk 19:21, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
13 Cameras moved to draftspace
[edit]An article you recently created, 13 Cameras, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. There seem to be sources that exist besides routine movie database entries. I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

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 Jessica DiCicco. Thank you. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 03:54, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
Your addition to List of attacks related to secondary schools has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words.

Disambiguation link notification for October 26
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Craig Coley, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page USS Enterprise (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Unsourced edit of List of youngest birth mothers
[edit] Hello, I'm BarrelProof. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, List of youngest birth mothers, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. —BarrelProof (talk) 06:34, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
- Hello College railman, your edit at List of youngest birth fathers had similar problems. Please note that gossip websites such as radaronline.com cannot be used as source for controversial information, especially about living people. WP:BLP requires acknowledged high-quality sources for such content. Gossip websites and sensationalist tabloids should generally be avoided as sources (unless the information is absolutely uncontroversial and no better source is available). I noticed that concerns about your WP:BLP-related edits have been mentioned in previous messages above. Please read the linked policy and be more careful when editing such controversial information. Thank you for your consideration. GermanJoe (talk) 06:54, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cooper Barnes (Actor) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Magitroopa (talk) 04:11, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

Editions on the List of youngest killers
[edit]Hello! I have seen that you made some editions on the List of youngest killers. Thank you for your contributions. I came here to warn you about two things:
- In one of your edits, you removed one person from the list. You don't need to take action, because I already include him again. Take care next time when making a change.
- Maybe you already knew that and wanted to better organize things your way, but the tables in the list are sortable, that is, you could already sort the table rows by clicking the arrows in the header cells. Sort lists by age order was not mandatory, but what you did was not wrong.
That was all. Keep making good contributions! Agente Rolf (talk) 21:18, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

Editions on the List of youngest killers (Kyle Alwood and Jeff Weise)
[edit]Hello again! I reverted your last editions. You have added Kyle Alwood to the list, and added one single reference to it. The reference however did not say the date, the exact location of the crime, nor the exact age of the boy when he committed the crime, so I added two more sources giving this information, and then edited the date (April 6), the location (changed Peoria to Goodfield), and the age (8-years-old when he committed the crime). Here is another source that is not in the article that proves my edits are correct. So I think you did not read the new references I added, and made a new edition based solely on the reference you first put (which only gave the boy's age when at trial).
I completely removed your 'new addition' (Jeff Weise) simply because he was already on the list.
I do not edit anything by chance or based solely on my beliefs. Please be careful when making new edits. Agente Rolf (talk) 14:36, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
[edit]
Hello College railman, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to List of school shootings in the United States have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.
- You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
- Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
- Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
- If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
- In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
- Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 22:22, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edits to List of school shootings in the United States, please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history, as well as helping prevent edit conflicts.

It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you. Sundayclose (talk) 21:15, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.
When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:
Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)
I noticed your recent edit to List of school shootings in the United States does not have an edit summary. Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.
Edit summary content is visible in:
Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing →

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Aliso Niguel High School. John from Idegon (talk) 03:39, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
Hello. Your recent edit to New Braunfels High School appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you.

February 2020
[edit] Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Washington State Penitentiary. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
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. Please stop adding non-notable inmates. A notable incident does not make the inmate notable. Meters (talk) 19:23, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Overland High School, you may be blocked from editing.

Linking sources
[edit]If a citation is to a website, it is necessary to link the specific page that verifies the information rather than a general website. For example, here you linked to a page that does not provide any information about Evan Miller. You have been given many warnings about adding unsourced information and other problem edits. In the future please provide appropriate links to verify your edits; otherwise don't make the edits or you may be headed for a second block. Second blocks are longer, and repeated blocks can result in an indefinite block. You also have been asked to provide edit summaries. Please do so. Sundayclose (talk) 16:50, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
- Further, Wikipedia is a collaborative project. That doesn't mean everyone else cleans up after you. Provide complete references. Most of the reference links you add are to media websites, which are notorious for going dead rather quickly (frequently within a year). Without complete bibliographic information, it's very difficult to find archival copies. I'll leave you instructions. John from Idegon (talk) 22:14, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
Adding references can be easy
[edit]
Hello! Here's how to add references from reliable sources for the content you add to Wikipedia. This helps maintain the Wikipedia policy of verifiability.
Adding well formatted references is actually quite easy:
- While editing any article or a wikipage, on the top of the edit window you will see a toolbar which says "Cite". Click on it.
- Then click on "Templates".
- Choose the most appropriate template and fill in as many details as you can. This will add a well formatted reference that is helpful in case the web URL (or "website link") becomes inactive in the future.
- Click on Preview when you're done filling out the 'Cite (web/news/book/journal)' to make sure that the reference is correct.
- Click on Insert to insert the reference into your editing window content.
- Click on Show preview to Preview all your editing changes.
- Before clicking on Publish changes, check that a References header ==References== is near the end of the article.
- And check that {{Reflist}} is directly underneath that header.
- 7. Click on Publish changes. ...and you've just added a complete reference to a Wikipedia article.
You can read more about this on Help:Edit toolbar or see this video File:RefTools.ogv.
Hope this helps, --John from Idegon (talk) 22:14, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
- To use this message, place

This, AGAIN is inadequate sourcing. I don't know if your problem is intentional disruptive editing or a lack of competence. Either way, I now insist that you get a mentor to assist you with avoiding problem edits. Go to WP:Adopt-a-user, read about the process, and make a request to be adopted. If you fail to do this before your next edit, the very next time you make a significant policy violation, you will either be discussing it at WP:ANI or get blocked for failing to do so. This has gone far beyond an occasional problem edit that many people can make. It is a chronic problem with you. I'm very serious about this, and I suggest that you get serious about getting help with editing. Sundayclose (talk) 00:34, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
- You just made another edit. So that means immediately after your next problem edit, we will be going to WP:ANI. It's not acceptable that you fix your edits after someone else catches the problems and notifies you. Again, no one is supposed to clean up after you.

- Hi College railman,
- The main purpose of blocks is to decrease the amount of maintenance and frustration the community has to expend to deal with problematic contributions. On second thought, and after a valid complaint about the decision, I have noticed that my initial decision would probably have an opposite effect. It increases the amount of maintenance and frustration that would likely follow – on both sides including yours.
- I will replace the partial block by a sitewide block from editing any page. Such sitewide blocks for persistent disruptive editing are tried, trusted and known to be effective at actually achieving their purpose.
- We are aware, and thankful, that you have always been contributing to the encyclopedia in good faith.
- We are aware, and thankful, that you did you best to help this project.
- It may be a reasonable idea to appeal this block one day – let's say in a year or two, assuming that competence and maturity change over time while the general positive attitude remains. If this assumption is correct, the community will likely welcome you back one day, and all this will be a thing of the distant past. One day.
