Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Romani people, but we cannot accept original research. Original research also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Sunray (talk) 17:34, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The material you added to the "Romani people" article is interesting and squares with my own perceptions. However, it would need to be re-written to avoid being original research. Perhaps a reliable source could be found that gives actual data about this. A paraphrase of that source, with a citation, would be a valuable addition to the article, in my opinion.

warning for edit-warring

[edit]
Stop icon

Your recent editing history at Rupert Murdoch shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

I have reverted your addition of a date of birth to Robin Curtis with IMDb as the cited source. That source is not reliable. Comments about that status are available at WP:IMDB.

In addition to Wikipedia's basic principle of citing sources (Wikipedia:Citing sources), a special need for citations applies with regard to elements of a biography of a living person (WP:BLPPRIVACY). Feel free to add a date of birth when it is accompanied by a citation to a reliable, published, non-primary source. Eddie Blick (talk) 00:38, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
