Welcome!
[edit]Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Contributing to Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Editing tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Naming conventions
- Simplified Manual of Style
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. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; 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!

Ethel & Ernest (film) moved to draftspace
[edit]An article you recently created, Ethel & Ernest (film), does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). 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 follow the prompts on the Articles for Creation template atop the page.

Unsourced content
[edit]Please don't add or restore unsourced content, as you did in this edit. Per WP:BURDEN, the burden is on you to find sources that back up these claims. Once unsourced content is removed, it must not be re-added without a source. It will be removed again unless you source it properly. Please note that you can be blocked from editing Wikipedia if you repeatedly restore unsourced content. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 23:20, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

[edit]Hello, I'm Betty Logan. Your recent edit to the page List of films considered the best appears to have added incorrect information, so I have removed it for now. If you believe the information was correct, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Betty Logan (talk) 18:15, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

Vertigo Films
[edit]Hi StVincentscollege, I see that so far 100% of your edits have been to add Vertigo Films categories to film articles. May I ask what your connection is to that company? Thanks very much, and happy editing! — fortunavelut luna 11:08, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

[edit]Hello, I'm Betty Logan. Your recent edit to the page List of box office bombs appears to have added incorrect information, so I have removed it for now. If you believe the information was correct, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Betty Logan (talk) 17:21, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
- Will you please explain what your game is at List of box office bombs. You have added multiple entries to the list with fakes sources and what appear to be fake numbers. This looks very much like sneaky vandalism to me. If you don't cease with these actions and provide me with a satisfactory explanation I will engage the services of an administrator. Betty Logan (talk) 17:32, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
Please do not add or change content, as you did at List of Universal Pictures films, 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. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 18:05, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Ethel & Ernest (film)
[edit]Hello, Stvincentcollege. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Ethel & Ernest".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}
, {{db-draft}}
, or {{db-g13}}
code.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Legacypac (talk) 21:09, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
