If you need further help, you can:

Ask a question

or you can:

Get help at the Teahouse

or even:

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page and someone will try to help.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:

Fight vandalism

Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome

Help contribute to articles

Perform maintenance tasks

Become a member of a project that interests you

Help design new templates

Subscribe and contribute to The Signpost

Translate articles from Wikipedias in other languages

To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.

Please remember to:

Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes ~~~~ at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to your talk page, and a timestamp.
Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.

The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!

June 2022

Hello, I'm Telenovelafan215. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Mi corazón es tuyo, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Telenovelafan215 (talk) 15:11, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Thank you for your message and politeness. You see, the problem is that there are many mistakes in all those articles, especially when it comes to the awards and nominations recieved by every show and its actors, so I was, let's say, trying to correct them, I really hope I haven't been causing any trouble...

I mainly do those changes based on the facts that I remember from that time, when I still used to watch those kind of programs (I don't really watch them anymore, but let's say that I have too much free time and few things to do for the moment which is a bad thing, frankly, ha-ha!).

The information I added on articles such as Mi corazón es tuyo or Lo que la vida me robó can be found, for example, in this blog which, unfortunately, is in Spanish: https://www.novelalounge.com/2015/02/premios-tvynovelas-2015-nominados-a-favoritos-del-publico/

Here is the right information about that category called "Favoritos del público" or "Audience Favorites". There are also blogs that post information that is incorect and that may be the reason why some editors get confused.

And here is that year's official nominees list: https://www.univision.com/novelas/premios-tv-y-novelas/conoce-a-los-nominados-a-premios-tvynovelas-2015

I also use information from a blog called "Recordar es Vivir", don't know if you've heard about it, but it's one of the few reliable blogs on the internet that contains information about old shows like Cadenas de amargura, one of my all-time favorite mexican TV shows, for example...

Anyway, you tell me... If you wish, I can just stop editing, there's absolutely no problem for me.

Greetings, man! Nick Bizer (talk) 16:09, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for December 27

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited 31st TVyNovelas Awards, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Pedro Fernández. 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) 06:04, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

January 2023

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Do not remove references as you did in Abismo de pasión or add unsourced content as you did in Mi pecado. Telenovelafan215 (talk) 06:00, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

February 2023

Hello, I'm Telenovelafan215. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Alegrijes y Rebujos, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Telenovelafan215 (talk) 05:24, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Got the information from the forum below: https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/foroarchivodelactorfernadocolunga/amor-real-lvaro-cueva-golden-awards-opciones-t892.html#p1358

It's from the time when "Amor real" was awarded by Álvaro Cueva as the greatest telenovela almost 20 years ago... Then, you think it would be OK if I added this link?

Greetings! Nick Bizer (talk) 13:24, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. A forum is generally unacceptable as a source due to it being user-generated content. You can read WP:USERGENERATED for more details. Telenovelafan215 (talk) 17:23, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Had no idea... Anyway, nothing's wrong if you delete it... I mean, I found that site while browsing and thought it would be fine to include the information, althought it's far from important, really...

Thanks for your reply and your clarification! Nick Bizer (talk) 17:48, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

March 2023

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced or poorly sourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Pasión y poder. Please stop adding unsourced content to Wikipedia as you did here on Pasión y poder. This is not the first time I have to warn you about adding unsourced or improperly cited materia.

April 2023

This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at Las secretas intenciones, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. You have been warned multiple times about your persistent addition of unsourced but you continue to do it. Telenovelafan215 (talk) 05:20, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Found the information in the links below, but I don't know how to cite. Could you show me how to do it? And neither do I know if the source is connsidered reliable, honestly... It's about the information I added in "Las secretas intenciones". You decide!

Greetings! Nick Bizer (talk) 10:43, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Those are not reliable sources. It's not just that you can find information somewhere else in order to add it to Wikipedia. It needs to be found in sources with a reputation for reliability. Not all possible information will be in such sources; in such case it just can't be written in Wikipedia. That happens. --Jayron 32 15:10, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No problem! That's exactly why I asked, anyway...

Have a nice day and thanks for your reply! Nick Bizer (talk) 15:15, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Telenovelafan215 (talk) 07:58, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of cast members on Para volver a amar (TV series)

Hello, I'm Telenovelafan215. I noticed that you recently removed content from Para volver a amar (TV series) without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Please do not remove cast members from the cast list without an explanation. Telenovelafan215 (talk) 04:10, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

July 2023

Hello, I'm Telenovelafan215. I noticed that you recently removed content from 23rd TVyNovelas Awards without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Eric Morales is also mentioned as recipient of the Best Director award per this source that is included on the page. Do not remove him as you did in this edit. Telenovelafan215 (talk) 21:22, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Indeed, you're right... I'm sorry. I had read that article and hadn't noticed, it's my fault... Which means the award was not special as in the former years, when only one director recieved it. I had originally put that right and then edited it again, I'm really sorry. Usually, when a single director was mentioned, it used to be a Special Award... Here, it seems it was not the case.

Have a nice day and thanks for your explanation!

I also wanted to point out something about the awards received by "Amor real", but I'll send you a personal message and you can check it out. Thank you, really! Sometimes one doesn't notice some details and it's great when we help each other, honestly speaking... Nick Bizer (talk) 14:31, 15 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Rosalinda (Mexican TV series), 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. Telenovelafan215 (talk) 19:04, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

June 2024

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Premios TVyNovelas. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please 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, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Telenovelafan215 (talk) 18:02, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

October 2024

Your edit to Abismo de pasión has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for information on how to contribute your work appropriately. For legal reasons, Wikipedia strictly cannot host copyrighted text or images from print media or digital platforms without an appropriate and verifiable license. Contributions infringing on copyright will be removed. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information.

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Nick Bizer! While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, it's important to understand and adhere to guidelines about using information from sources to prevent copyright and plagiarism issues. Here are the key points:

Limited quotation: You may only copy or translate a small portion of a source. Any direct quotations must be enclosed in double quotation marks (") and properly cited using an inline citation. More information is available on the non-free content page. To learn how to cite a source, see Help:Referencing for beginners.
Paraphrasing: Beyond limited quotations, you are required to put all information in your own words. Following the source's wording too closely can lead to copyright issues and is not permitted; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when paraphrasing, you must still cite your sources as appropriate.
Image use guidelines: In most scenarios, only freely licensed or public domain images may be used and these should be uploaded to our sister project, Wikimedia Commons. In some scenarios, non-freely copyrighted content can be used if they meet all ten of our non-free content criteria; Wikipedia:Plain and simple non-free content guide may help with determining a file's eligibility.
Copyrighted material donation: If you hold the copyright to the content you want to copy, or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license the text for publication here. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
Copying and translation within Wikipedia: Wikipedia articles can be copied or translated, however they must have proper attribution in accordance with Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. For translation, see Help:Translation § License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices. Persistent failure to comply may result in being blocked from editing. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 03:51, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
