Hello, I'm Jacona. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to Pacari Chocolate—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks.

Hello. I wanted to let you know that your recent edit(s) to International Astrology Day have been removed because you cited the information you added to another Wikipedia article or an external wiki. As discussed at WP:CIRCULAR and WP:SPS, Wikipedia and other wikis should not be used in citations because they are not considered reliable sources. You are welcome to re-add the information using a different reference, perhaps from the article you originally linked to. 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. AntiDionysius (talk) 02:07, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that your recent edit to Armand (The Vampire Chronicles) did not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief.

The edit summary field looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary, and then click the "Save" button.

Thanks for the tip! Diamondback3000 (talk) 18:29, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours has an edit summary that appears to be inadequate, inaccurate, or inappropriate. The summaries are helpful to people browsing an article's history, so it is important that you use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did. Feel free to use the sandbox to make test edits. Adding wikilinks to an article is not adding inline citations MacAddct1984 ^{(talk | contribs)} 01:46, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Geoffrey Prime, you may be blocked from editing. PLEASE stop adding wikilinks for ordinary words, and see WP:OVERLINK. Drmies (talk) 02:17, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Unreliable source citations

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. While your efforts to add citations are appreciated, please familiarize yourself with what is considered a reliable source. Wikipedia has an extensive list of what is and isn't reliable. Some unreliable sources you've used that aren't appropriate are IMDB for biographical content and other wikis like Fandom. You've also cited to things that do not support the claim being made, like this edit.

Hello Diamondback3000! Your additions to Bookbinding have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably free and compatible copyright license. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Documentation: https://copypatrol.toolforge.org/en/?id=105249498 Thank you.

Sourcing problems

You need to refrain from adding sources at the moment (In fact I"m blocking you hopefully only temporarily because you don't seem to have discovered this page. I saw you add AtlasObscura which is user generated, see WP:RSNP. Personal websites, eg someone's cooking site, aren't reliably published either. Doug Weller talk 08:04, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Drmies I'm blocking this editor at least until they reply. I also think they need a mentor to learn how to edit. Doug Weller talk 08:05, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
