Your article

Hi. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and isn't the right place to add info about your friends. Additionally we cannot include unsourced negative information about people.

I've also reverted some of your recent unsourced date changes. Please take care to only add reliably sourced material to Wikipedia.

ANI

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. P-K3 (talk) 22:28, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Some info

Hi KevinBartholomew, I saw the bit at the noticeboard and noticed you hadn't received one of our welcome templates with links to policies and guidelines, so I stuck one at the top. I hope it helps, and I'm going to highlight a couple of things here in particular. First, this is a massive encyclopedia, but it can't include absolutely everything that exists or has ever existed, so we have guidelines for inclusion, which we refer to as "notability". A brief summary of what a topic should have to get a new page is here; that page has links to explain terms, but I looked at a page you wrote that was redirected and its main problem was the sources were not reliable: we can use books by reputable publishers (not self-published), most newspapers (but not trash tabloids or papers known for bias, and opinion articles only to source someone's opinion), movies and TV programs themselves where appropriate (such as documentaries on points of history or to establish notability), other encyclopedias, but not anything user-generated such as Wikipedia itself, YouTube channels that are not, for example, official channels of a TV station or news outlet, or most blogs; and to establish notability, the sources must also be independent (not the TV program you are writing about itself, for example). Changes like that edit changing dates need to cite a reference; how does the reader know what you say is true? (They may also want to read more; encyclopedia articles just summarize.) And one further hint arising from the redirected article, though I don't use the Visual Editor so I'm not sure of the "how to": when you use a named reference, like ref name=foo or ref name="0", one time you have to define it, like this: <ref name=foo>{{cite web | etc. etc. etc. </ref> or this: <ref name="0">[https://something etc. etc.]</ref>; the other references are the <ref name=foo/> type, but one has to tell the system what that named reference is. Hope this helps! Thanks for joining us and pitching in. Yngvadottir (talk) 23:18, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not WP:EDIT WAR, as you did at Haters Back Off. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing. Instead, if you believe that you have a valid point of view, open a discussion about it on the article's Talk page. -- Ssilvers (talk) 07:03, 28 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Dylan and Dakota Gonzalez

The article Dylan and Dakota Gonzalez has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Recommend deleting this article for not meeting notability guidelines. The vast majority of the sources in this article refer to primary sources such as from the subjects own instagram. Other sources are YouTube videos and a different wiki which are both not appropriate sources for bio of a living person.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Issuing level 1 warning about removing AfD template from articles before the discussion is complete. (Peachy 2.0 (alpha 8))

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates, as you did with Dylan and Dakota Gonzalez. Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. This is an automated message from a bot about this edit, where you removed the deletion template from an article before the deletion discussion was complete. If this message is in error, please report it.—^{cyberbot I}_{Talk to my owner:Online} 15:47, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Accessibility

Please do not insert "rowspan" fields into filmography tables. This damages their accessibility for people who are blind and use screen readers. Thanks. Elizium23 (talk) 14:42, 3 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for June 8

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of soap opera villains, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages George Williams and Wayne Davis. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:00, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not revert AfD outcomes like you did here and here. The AfDs had been closed as redirect. --Ashley yoursmile! 20:18, 7 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Grandpa, No!

Hello KevinBartholomew,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Grandpa, No! for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly indicate why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!
