September 2011 edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Ray of Light, 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. Tbhotch. Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 01:51, 29 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

Also, that iformation is irrelevant for any article, do not re-add it. Tbhotch. Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 01:51, 29 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

October 2011 edit

 

When adding links to material on external sites, as you did to NCIS (TV series), please ensure that the external site is not violating the creator's copyright. Linking to websites that display copyrighted works is acceptable as long as the website's operator has created or licensed the work. Knowingly directing others to a site that violates copyright may be considered contributory infringement. This is particularly relevant when linking to sites such as YouTube, where due care should be taken to avoid linking to material that violates its creator's copyright. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If you believe the linked site is not violating copyright with respect to the material, then you should do one of the following:

  • If the linked site is the copyright holder, leave a message explaining the details on the article Talk page;
  • If a note on the linked site credibly claims permission to host the material, or a note on the copyright holder's site grants such permission, leave a note on the article Talk page with a link to where we can find that note;
  • If you are the copyright holder or the external site administrator, adjust the linked site to indicate permission as above and leave a note on the article Talk page;

If the material is available on a different site that satisfies one of the above conditions, link to that site instead. AussieLegend (talk) 15:44, 22 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to NCIS (soundtrack). Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. AussieLegend (talk) 15:46, 22 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hi. When you recently edited Smooth jazz, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Daily News (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

  Hello, I'm Walter Görlitz. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Boxing Day, but you didn't provide a reliable source.
