Disambiguation link notification for January 23

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Basti district, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Siddharth Nagar (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

November 2015

Oops, sorry! Didn't realize I was posting the wrong thing on the wrong page! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.15.9.65 (talk) 20:55, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm genuinely curious where you thought you were posting, that inventing fictitious quotes and altering sourced quotes from film critics would have been acceptable behavior. AtticusX (talk) 21:03, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Citation

Hi AtticusX I think I had a mistake, I am just trying to Improve citation for wiki articles. Thanks for reviewed — Preceding unsigned comment added by 45.112.138.70 (talk) 09:44, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The Game Discography.

Please do NOT change the sales number for the Games albums. I have access to Nielson SoundScan which is the same data base Billboard uses to gather sales figures and record labels also have access to this. As a result my sales figure are 100% accurate. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jayceon123 (talk • contribs) 11:51, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Jayceon123: As other editors have explained on your talk page, regardless of where you are pulling your sales numbers from, it's always up to you to add citations identifying your sources, between <ref></ref> tags, after every number you edit. If no URL is available for the SoundScan database source, then you just need to provide enough specific details about the source in your citations that any reader with a subscription to the database could retrace your steps and know how to find the same information. Especially when replacing numbers that were previously supported by a citation, you're expected to update the citations next to those numbers to show where you got your information. If you don't, editors auditing for discrepancies between citations and content will eventually revert the content to reflect the existing citations, because Wikipedia relies on verification against published sources to ensure the accuracy of its content, not the trustworthiness of individual editors. Again: the burden's on you to cite your sources every time you add content. AtticusX (talk) 21:39, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

OK il be sure to add the correct citations. I have a friend who also has access to Nielson Soundscan and he uploads it to a website. Il be sure to apply the correct citations. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jayceon123 (talk • contribs) 06:04, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

And yet, instead of citing the SoundScan database that you told me you got your numbers from, you went and cited some anonymous postings from an internet forum, which is as far from a reliable source as it gets... and those forum pages didn't even support many of your numbers to begin with. Please take this opportunity to familiarize yourself with the guidelines at WP:UGC and WP:RS, if you haven't already. I'm out of patience for your inability to add honest citations that support your numbers. Telling everyone to take your word for it carries no water here, especially when your account seems to be a single-agenda account. AtticusX (talk) 07:16, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the ban bruzz, appreciate it. Trigger fingaz turn to twitter fingaz for u hahaha. I cant cite the data base as not everyone had access to this, only those who pay for it such as myself, record labels, and Billboard. I will change the figures to the correct ones given in the forum, and would appreciate it if this remained unchanged. Thanks for saying "not in citation given" and "unreliable source" rather than just removing the figures. Have a good one lil homie.

Transfermarkt

I noticed you added references to Transfermarkt to a number of footballer bios. Please do not do this again in future. Much of transfermarkt's content is user-generated, meaning the website is unreliable under the guideline on self-published sources. Thank you. Sir Sputnik (talk) 18:21, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize and thanks for the heads up. Transfermarkt doesn't loudly advertise its data as being user-generated, and I was obviously unaware that there had been any previous discussion of its reliability as a source. In general its data did align with the other sources I was using to verify birthdates, birthplaces, and height data. Regardless, I will avoid Transfermarkt going forward. AtticusX (talk) 23:01, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Adding to a wiki page.

I noticed you were the last user to update the Asterix and the vikings movie page (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asterix_and_the_Vikings). I noticed a possible easter egg after watching the movie but did not know where or how to edit it in. The easter egg I saw was near the end when Vitalstatistix is trying to buy time for Asterix by giving food and wine to Doublehelix. The fish given to Doublehelix looks like the fish from the movie "Help! I'm a fish." If you would rather have me private message you, I can do that.
