Please do not add or change content without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. El_C 06:28, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
You continue to add unsourced material and personal biographical information to articles despite the warning above and are using misleading edit summaries to do so. If this continues, you will be blocked from editing so please ensure you review the links provided.-- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 18:28, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
Hey Ponyo, there are some misleading information on some pages that I had to change like DJ Enimoney being from Edo State. This clearly shows that u know absolutely nothing about Nigeria. Renato42 (talk) 21:44, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
- You don't need to know anything about Nigeria to edit Wikipedia. What you do need to know is our policies and guidelines regarding reliable sourcing, especially when editing biography articles. I see restored the unsourced date here, again using a misleading edit summary ("fixed typo"). If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing.-- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 21:46, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

Poor sourcing
[edit]You've been blocked twice for adding unsourced personal information to WP:BLPs. While I appreciate that you have made the effort to now add sources, it doesn't mean that you can avoid further sanctions by adding any source you find on the internet to articles - the source needs to meet reliable sourcing requirements (←please read the information in this link). Reliable sources have a reputation for editorial oversight and fact checking, "famousbirthdays.com" does not meet the criteria, nor do similar compendia-type websites such as IMDb and the like.-- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 21:06, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

Decline reason:
Responses to follow up questions are unsatisfactory. Please study WP:RS more thoroughly. I would suggest any further unblock request should identify both a) a definition for a reliable source, b) examples of reliable sources for rap music and biographies, and c) examples of sources that are not reliable for those two topics. If you want to go the extra mile, find an example of a source that is reliable for one kind of claim but not another. signed, Rosguill talk 22:03, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
Please demonstrate your understanding by describing in your own words what a reliable source is, and offering an example of a properly sourced edit. Please take your time in doing so, there is no deadline. 331dot (talk) 10:59, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

What do I do to be unblocked then? Renato42 (talk) 16:08, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
- As I mentioned earlier, another administrator will review your appeal and responses. I need to note, however, that both your definition of a reliable source as it related to your edit history (i.e. mainly musicians and rappers) and your example of a what you believe to be a reliable source (investopedia.com) demonstrate that you still do not understand WP:RS and its relationship with WP:BLPs.-- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 16:21, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

Request reason:
I have been blocked from editing Wikipedia for a few months now for poor sourcing and I have taken my time to understand a reliable source. A reliable source is a material that is vetted and well-regarded as trustworthy by a scholarly community and it's articles cannot be easily edited or tampered with. Examples of reliable sources for rap music include Rap Radar and The Source while unreliable sources for rap music include Mugshots or Famous birthdays as well as Facebook posts,etc Renato42 (talk) 09:01, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
Accept reason:
In part because the blocking admin no longer objects, and you seem to better understand the concerns here, I will remove the block. 331dot (talk) 08:55, 19 December 2020 (UTC)
- To the reviewing admin: I'm fine with an unblock here as I think Renato42 will be more careful and selective in choosing sources moving forward. I'm willing to give some rope here.-- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 16:59, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

[edit]
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Guchi (musician), you may be blocked from editing. FMSky (talk) 13:35, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
Please kindly read the information provided in the references on guchi's page. She claimed to be 22 in an April 2019 interview and since her birthday falls in November, she was definitely born in 1996 instead of the 1997 listed on her page. Renato42 (talk) 19:16, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
She also claimed to have been born in Kaduna but raised in Abuja. See reference link 1 for verification Renato42 (talk) 19:24, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
- Hi Renato42, I came here to ask where you got that birth date from. As you say, the preponderance of sources have her born in Kaduna, and in one interview she mentions her grandparents living in Imo State; but both the birth date you added and the one it replaced were unreferenced, and I didn't find a reference for her birth date. It's important to cite a reference for all information in a biography of a living person, especially personal info like that; and if there's only one hard-to-find source for a birth date, it should be left out anyway on privacy grounds. I've now removed the birth date and replaced it with the 2 possible years. But if you have a link to a newspaper article where she states it, or about someone tweeting wishes for her 24th birthday on a specific date, then please share.

- (talk page watcher)@Abal126: well that's a flat-out lie and I'm going to revert your revert. You haven't added any sources in your edit and the cited source disagrees with your figure. Either add a source along with your changes or stop edit warring. – 2.O.Boxing 19:47, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

[edit] Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Dutchavelli, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary.

Answer needed
[edit]In these edits: First of all, while it looks like you're right about his full name being Adebowale David Ibrahim Adedayo, it's not okay to add a full name for someone with a citation to a reliable source, and given your previous block and unblock, you should know that by now. More importantly, though, what gave you the idea that his date of birth is 1983? Given your past warnings for falsifying statements, including birthdates, I'm afraid I need to insist on an answer this time. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 23:07, 21 June 2022 (UTC)

[edit] Hello, I'm ScottishFinnishRadish. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Omah Lay, 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 referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Please see WP:DOB ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 00:14, 26 August 2022 (UTC)

Regarding the Omah Lah's issue, that's the age he has claimed since he blew up so I don't see the problem here.[1] The 19 May 1997 birthday has been on his page for long so I didn't understand why it became a problem now since it is his actual birthdate. White money also celebrated his 31st birthday on the 6th of June, you can check his social media handles for verification. And the Scottish Reddish guy joined Wikipedia last year so I wasn't quite sure if he was one of the top editors. I've edited several pages here with right sources for the past year or two also.

Decline reason:
Your comment about "top editors" suggests that you don't understand how Wikipedia works. You don't get to ignore policies until an administrator or "top user" (whatever that is) tells you to stop. The examples you cite here are a few of many contributions that you were warned about since your unblocked less than a year ago. WP:STANDARDOFFER would be your best path forward here.

Request reason:
Over the past two days I have looked at the referencing for beginners, and I have come to realize that I shouldn't have edited pages based on mere rumours or personal beliefs. Every edit should have a reliable source backing it up, and I know that given my previous blocks in the past I should have known better, but we all tend to make mistakes that we must learn from. That being said, what's happened has happened and it is indeed an eye opener for me going forward, I promise to not make mistakes like this anymore if my block can be reversed, and I would also love to continue to contribute to Wikipedia in the best way I can. I await a positive response from you all. Thanks.
Decline reason:
You had a second chance and blew it. You demonstrated at that point you understood about our sourcing policies. Frankly, your unblock requests here make it clear you need to remain blocked, even aside from your insistence that this time, unlike last time when you promised us you understood, you really understand now.

Request reason:
When Yamla told me that I had a second chance and I blew it, I wondered if that meant I would never be unblocked anymore. I really would love to be given another chance to prove myself, I really love contributing to Wikipedia in the very best way I can, even though I might get it wrong sometimes, but like I said before I really have learnt my lesson and I would even, more than ever before, love to prove it to this community. Truth is, we all have a reach and particular areas we are familiar with that others might not be able to reach or show interest in, so I wouldn't lie, it hurts me when I see areas like this and I can't edit or make it right because am blocked. Over the past two years Wikipedia have been a part of me and I would really love to remain in this great community.
