Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Adam Woodyatt, please cite a reliable source for your addition. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Twitter does not class as a reliable source, we have no way of verifying if that Twitter account is genuinely operated by him, may be someone pretending to be him. 5 albert square (talk) 20:43, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Adam Woodyatt do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. 5 albert square (talk) 21:41, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Gaia Octavia Agrippa. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Bert Massie, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. 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! Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk 22:17, 15 October 2017 (UTC)
- Hi Gretauk, thank you for you message. As stated above Wikipedia has very strict rules concerning biographies of living/recently deceased people. Your edit couldn't be accepted because it didn't have a reference. As I'm sure you are aware, there have been many instances of fake deaths being spread around social media. This means that before adding a date of death to someone's Wikipedia article, there needs to be a reliable source stating that they have died (IE not social media). I hope this explains what happened, Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk 13:28, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
