October 2020

Hello, I'm Longchess. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, John Cameron of Lochiel, 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 the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. longchess (talk · contribs · block user) 16:20, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —specifically this edit to Doc Middleton—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help desk. Thanks. Materialscientist (talk) 19:24, 1 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living (or recently deceased) persons, as you did to Paddy McNally. If you claim the birth place or date is wrong, you need to provide a WP:Reliablesource. MB 20:23, 5 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. MB 14:53, 6 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced biographical content

Hello. I'm an administrator on Wikipedia. You were reported to the administrators' noticeboard for adding poorly-sourced content to biographies of living persons. In particular, you've been adding a birth date and location, but you didn't cite a reliable source. Wikipedia has strict rules on content in biographies of living persons because this can impact real peoples' lives. Please be aware that many sites on the internet purport to give information about celebrities, but few of them of reliable. Sites like the IMDb use user-generated content, and they should not be cited in biographical articles. Similarly, celebrity gossip websites should not be used because most of them don't have a history of fact checking or publishing corrections. Fan sites and blogs are self-published and have no editorial control. We also can't use primary documents, such as government birth databases or "inside" knowledge. The content has to be verifiable by other people, and we can't make guesses based on the available evidence. Because the number of acceptable sources is quite slim, we often have to settle for approximations, go without this information entirely, or wait until a source like Entertainment Weekly or the BBC publishes an interview that includes more details. If you're not sure whether a source is reliable, you can ask at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 15:41, 6 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
