Some cookies to welcome you!

Welcome to Wikipedia, BookDen! I am Pianotech and have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. Thank you for your contributions. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or by typing {{helpme}} at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• Introduction
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• How to write a great article

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!

Burger King and dates

Hello, you have been changing copyright and trademark dates in articles related to Burger King. Unfortunately the information you are introducing is incorrect; the dates are based upon legal documentation on file with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, so please do not change them unless you can provide positive proof that the information is improper.

Also do not remove citations from the article, as that can considered improper. --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 07:42, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

August 2010

Please do not add or change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources. 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. Thank you. Shadowjams (talk) 06:23, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

September 2010

Please do not add or change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources. 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. Thank you. I am giving you a warning about doing this, talking about unsourced info in the talk page helps a great deal and avoids edit warring. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 20:32, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

December 2010

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at The Powerpuff Girls. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Series closed 25 March 2005 with two newly-aired episodes in US, with only "See Me, Feel Me, Gnomey" never airing there. Do not change this again. Glenn L (talk) 03:36, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of List of countries with Subway franchises

The article List of countries with Subway franchises has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Why is this on Wikipedia? Certainly seems rather listcrufty per WP:NOT.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Zachlipton (talk) 09:15, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

February 2011

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from NBCUniversal. When removing content, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the content has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. BilCat (talk) 05:18, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Your edit on the List of Mad episodes

I reverted your edit on the list regarding that episode as the source currently being used doesn't verify it. If you have a reliable source verifying it then include it. Otherwise don't bother editing the page. Thank you. Sarujo (talk) 05:58, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

File:Disney XD.svg and Disney XD (Italy)

Please do not add non-free content to any article, such as you did with this image on that article, unless you are prepared to comply with (and in fact do) WP:NFCC #10c. If you have questions, ask. Thank you, --Hammersoft (talk) 01:49, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

I am prepared to comply with (and in fact do) WP:NFCC #10c, Hammersoft. --BookDen 21:05, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

• Then follow the guideline at WP:FURG. --Hammersoft (talk) 15:00, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

And once again you are violating WP:NFCC, this time at Disney Junior (Scandinavia) and Disney Junior (Latin America). Why? If you persist in violating our policies when you know full well what the requirements of those policies are both from this thread and from the comments you removed (example), you will very likely be blocked until such time as you agree to edit in compliance with our policies. If you have questions, ask. Proceeding ahead in violation of the policy is not an option. Thank you, --Hammersoft (talk) 20:37, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Your recent edits (March 2011)

Please do not make any changes, including date changes, to articles without citing a reliable source. I reverted your recent edits to Tom and Jerry and Tom and Jerry: The Mansion Cat for this reason, as date changes need to be backed up with a reliable source. However, I also note that you have made other recent changes that need to be backed up by reliable sources. Please see Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources, Wikipedia:Verifiability, and Wikipedia:Citing sources for more details. Thanks, [|Retro00064|☎talk|✍contribs|] 01:40, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Nomination of List of countries with Wendy's franchises for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of countries with Wendy's franchises is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of countries with Wendy's franchises until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. JJ98 (Talk) 09:06, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

July 2011

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates, as you did with List of programs broadcast by Boomerang. Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. Thank you. JJ98 (Talk / Contributions) 16:55, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

August 2011

Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources, as you did to Cartoon Cartoons. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Please note that nickandmore.com is not a reliable source - See the discussion at WP:RSN for more information AussieLegend (talk) 06:38, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

December 2011

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article The Powerpuff Girls Movie, please cite a reliable source for your addition. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. If I had made a mistake, please report it, remove this warning and make the edit again. Cutecutecuteface2000 (Cutecuteface needs attention) 23:22, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

Removing AfD template

Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion pages, as you did with List of AT&T U-verse channels. Doing so won't stop the discussion from taking place. You are, however, welcome to comment about the proposed deletion on the appropriate page. This is an automated message from a bot about this edit, where you removed the deletion template from an article before the deletion discussion was complete.

Cartoon Network (Southeast Asia)

Hi, BookDen. I've had to protect many Asian media articles due to persistant disruptive editing. A component of that disruption is the addition of many KBs of unreferenced content.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello BookDen, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Phil of the Future has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
• Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 21:59, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
