User talk:Procyon 2.0

October 2020

Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Liopleurodon, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Materialscientist (talk) 20:13, 10 October 2020 (UTC)

Please do not add or significantly change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did with this edit to Liopleurodon. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Materialscientist (talk) 20:15, 10 October 2020 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Betelgeuse, you may be blocked from editing.
Your edits have been automatically marked as vandalism and have been automatically reverted. The following is the log entry regarding this vandalism: Betelgeuse was changed by Procyon 2.0 (u) (t) ANN scored at 0.880099 on 2020-10-10T20:24:08+00:00

Thank you. ClueBot NG (talk) 20:24, 10 October 2020 (UTC)

Note: Cluebot was incorrect, the edit was not vandalism. William Harris (talk) 08:24, 27 October 2020 (UTC)

Procyon 2.0, you are invited to the Teahouse!

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Canis.
NOTE: This is a Wikipedia Level-4 warning. Next time you WP:VANDALise Wikipedia, you are most likely going to be blocked from further editing.

Above is an invitation to visit the Teahouse, which is where there are editors dedicated to answering new editor's questions. I recommend that you click on that link, ask questions, and learn how we do things around here. William Harris (talk) 08:39, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

As you have now learnt at the Teahouse, there is a vast difference between extinct and extant - please do not alter Wikipedia unless you know what the topic means. You are also advised to provide an WP:Edit summary with your edits, else Cluebot may see your edit as vandalism (as it did above).

However, my over-reaction (immediately above) was not warranted in this case; please accept my apologies. William Harris (talk) 07:49, 27 October 2020 (UTC)

Slow down and try this

First off, try this tutorial.

Second, here is a guide covering a variety of issues that new users face. It includes summaries of some important site policies and guidelines, as well as tips for navigating the site and editing.

As for going over your edits individually:

• don't remove citation needed tags if you haven't added a citation
• don't add information without a source, as you did here, here, and elsewhere
• use reference tags to add sources (as explained in the guide and I believe in the tutorial)
• pay close attention to where you're adding material, and learn the difference between words like "extant" and "extinct"
