User talk:Bgtxfactordoctorwhostrictly
Welcome to Wikipedia, Bgtxfactordoctorwhostrictly! Thank you for your contributions. This is an encyclopedia, so remember that it's a necessity to include references listing reliable websites, newspapers, articles, books and other sources you have used to write or expand articles. Please understand that these sources should verify the information in a fair and accurate manner. However, you must not copy and paste text you find anywhere, except for short quotations, marked as such with quote marks and carefully cited to the source the quote was taken from. New articles and statements added to existing articles may be deleted by others if unreferenced or referenced poorly or if they are copyright violations. See referencing for beginners for more details.
I have been editing Wikipedia for some time, so if you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. You can also check out Wikipedia:Questions or type {{help me}}
at the bottom of this page.
Here are some more pages that you might find helpful:
- Introduction
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Contributing to Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- How to write a great article
- Discover what's going on in the Wikimedia community
Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that will automatically produce your username and the date. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!
- Pay particular attention to the concept of reliable sources and that this is not a rumour or even a news site. It's also worth checking this list before citing a media source. Amedee123 (talk) 12:54, 23 November 2019 (UTC)

[edit]Please do not add or change content, as you did at Doctor Who (series 12), 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. -- /Alex/21 11:55, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
Ok sorry just excited I believe everything! How did you find the new trailer?
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Doctor Who (series 12); that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. -- /Alex/21 12:51, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
Ok point taken! Will not edit it again. I'll leave it to experts eg. Alex21
Citing references
[edit]Because your first edit asked about citing references, I left a welcome message specifically about that at the top of this page, everything you need to know is in that. Ideally you should read all the links, but especially the link to Help:Referencing for beginners which also links to other referencing help articles. You can also go to Wikipedia:Teahouse or Wikipedia:Questions or post {{help me}}
at the bottom of this page. But before you work out the technicalities of referencing, you need to read and understand Wikipedia:Reliable sources, Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources and Wikipedia:Rumour. For TV series schedules the reliable source is generally only the official site of the broadcaster - so in this case it would be the BBC's website. Cross-posting this from User talk:Alex 21, please reply here if you want to talk to me about it. Amedee123 (talk) 01:49, 29 November 2019 (UTC)
