Citations/sources

Hi, I've removed several citations that you added to articles because they didn't actually support the content. For example, one of the refs on Tammy Davis doesn't mention her. The citation you added to Erana James for her date of birth doesn't mention her date of birth. Neither of the refs that you added to Melanie Bracewell mention her. Please only cite sources that specifically support the content. When you add a reference, the reader should be able to verify the information in that sentence or paragraph by looking at the same reference. Adding references that don't provide verifiability of the information is misleading. Schazjmd (talk) 01:19, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry! That's my bad. I have the correct list of sources in my notes on my laptop and I will go add the correct ones now! Cheers for the heads up :) ThatAnonEditorGuy (talk) 01:21, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hey User talk:Schazjmd. With the references on Tammy Davis, the first reference was intended to reference his name, and the second one was intended to reference the series The Eggplant. I'm not too sure how to reference this properly but that's what I was trying to do. Would you mind helping me out by letting me know how to do this? ThatAnonEditorGuy (talk) 01:31, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The reference to the series is irrelevant if it doesn't mention Davis. The first ref (the one I didn't remove) mentions Davis and The Eggplant, so that's all that's needed. Schazjmd (talk) 01:33, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Perfect thank you! I'll remember that for future editing :) ThatAnonEditorGuy (talk) 01:34, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Mia Healey (January 29)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by HitroMilanese was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Does not appear to meet WP:NACTOR.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Mia Healey and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Mia Healey, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

My bad! Just saw that they need more than one credit and Mia only has currently one credit. Is there anyway around this if the actor is of significant enough status? Thank you for checking it out anyway! ThatAnonEditorGuy (talk) 08:19, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, ThatAnonEditorGuy! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Hitro talk 07:25, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome

Hey, I see you have some interest in football, notable Ben Waine and Callan Elliot. Myself and Mrsmiis created those two articles and both do a lot of work on football articles relating to New Zealand players/clubs. If you need a hand or have any questions, just ask by pinging one of us. You might also like to join WikiProject Football as it has discussions, templates etc regarding football on Wikipedia.

Hey guys! Thank you so much. I've joined the project which is awesome. Can't wait to get editing ThatAnonEditorGuy (talk) 22:40, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You might also be interested in Wikipedia:WikiProject New Zealand, it looks like it's pretty active. Schazjmd (talk) 01:37, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Images

Hi, I doubt if you've checked your Talk page on Commons but a number of images that you've uploaded have been deleted for copyright violation. You can't take a photo off the web and upload it as your own work. ("Own work" means you are the photographer.) Unless an image on the web has been freely licensed for reuse, you can't use it in an article. (That's the simple rule-of-thumb; for details, see WP:Image use policy.) Please don't upload more photos until you learn that rules for licensing and reuse. Schazjmd (talk) 22:49, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oh whoops. Thank you for letting me know. I keep making these same mistakes but now I know I won't do it again. I'll have a look at the rules and familiarise myself, but maybe I'll just leave the image editing to other people for now... ThatAnonEditorGuy (talk) 23:03, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, images are a tricky business. I've learned how to do a fair-use book cover, but other than that, if it isn't already on Commons, I just don't use images. Happy editing! Schazjmd (talk) 23:07, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abusing multiple accounts. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 00:27, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Hi guys. I am really confused and ultimately frustrated that I have been blocked as I have been contributing to Wikipedia immensely. I have been banned as a 'sockpuppet' which is really confusing as well. I have noticed that my article 'Keep It Real Online' was removed. I do understand that this article has had some problems before because that is how I found the original draft. After some investigation, I could see that a sockpuppet was behind its original creation, however, I thought that since the ad campaign is well known and is worthy of a Wikipedia page that I would use the foundations from the draft to make one. I was not expecting this action to get me blocked indefinitely. To me, this is totally unfair. I was purely reusing information that had already been published to create an article. Unfortunately, I do understand that this could be seen as a sock-puppet, however, is there any chance you could investigate? You will then see that I am not a sockpuppet. I edit Wikipedia from my home, university, and from the local library, and this is why I would like to challenge this block. Maybe I have used the same internet connection as the sock puppeteer? I am new to Wikipedia and have only one account that I use. I have been editing articles that I have an interest in, developing new articles about things that are well known, and editing other articles in general. I would love to know why I have been blocked. This is really upsetting to me because I have absolutely loved editing Wikipedia and do not wish to give it up. Editing Wikipedia is my only source of freedom outside of my home. Please investigate as you will find that this block is not worthyThatAnonEditorGuy (talk) 01:30, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Confirmed sockpuppetry. Yamla (talk) 12:45, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
