User talk:67.244.17.196

Welcome

Hello, 67.244.17.196, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and have been reverted. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

Please do not add unsourced or original content, as you did to Studio 54. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. OliverTwisted ^(Talk)(Stuff) 00:00, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make the edit, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. The next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did to Studio 54, you will be blocked from editing. OliverTwisted ^(Talk)(Stuff) 03:36, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 72 hours to prevent further disruption caused by your engagement in an edit war. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below. MBisanz ^talk 03:51, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Verifiability

Time Out!! All legal name changes are normally published in local newspapers as a court requirement, except in the case of domestic violence victims requesting name changes. With this being the case, you should be able to provide a reliable source proving this name change (local newspapers are normally archived online). If the name change was informal, and not legal, the same requirements for sources still apply.

Also, Wikipedia has a policy against conflicts of interest WP:COI which may be relevant in this case. Accept my apologies if you are not somehow affiliated with Billy Smith, Billy Amato, Billy Smith Amato or Studio 54 (any incarnation). If you are associated with any of these people, you should not proceed with editing information about them.

As for the information about productions at Studio 54, you will need to find a reliable source as expressed here: WP:RS to prove the information being added is correct. Statements to the effect of "Billy Amato launched the career of Madonna" will ALWAYS have to have reliable sources, or will be challenged and removed. Please spend some time during your block on Wikipedia to view the links provided in the most recent welcome message you received.

Also, if you have the sources for any new information, and they meet the guidelines as expressed here: WP:RS and the new information meets the guidelines, as expressed here: WP:V, please list these sources on the AfD discussion page here or on the talk page for Billy Amato, rather than just copying the already added/deleted information to the Studio 54 talk page, or my talk page, or my user page. Instead, we are asking for the reliable sources which prove the information is correct, not asking you to keep copying the challenged article information to multiple locations. For help in using the correct format, please see WP:CITE. Best regards on your future edits.--OliverTwisted ^(Talk)(Stuff) 05:17, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment.
