A summary of some important site policies and guidelines

edit

In particular, your edit did not cite a reliable source, which would be needed as the article describes the group as having disbanded in 1977.

Rumors on Youtube are not reliable sources. Stick to professionally-published mainstream academic or journalistic sources. Ian.thomson (talk) 00:27, 21 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

You're getting right close to a block

edit

This edit borders on vandalism. User opinions do not belong in articles.

And your questions at the reference desk give a strong appearance of not being here to work on the encyclopedia.

I've already got the block menu open. Ian.thomson (talk) 00:35, 21 July 2016 (UTC)Reply


Wikipedia does not rely on any user's views or opinions or beliefs. We do not use original research. All we do is cite and summarize reliable sources so that all information can be verified. Ian.thomson (talk) 00:39, 21 July 2016 (UTC)Reply
If you are studying law, then law articles would probably be a good area for you to edit. Just be sure to cite a reliable source for any new information. Your textbooks should qualify as reliable sources. Just be sure to paraphrase and summarize (don't plagiarize) and make sure the citation is at least as complete as it'd need to be for a research paper.
As for mentoring, it's not something I do consciously and officially (not saying I won't help, just that I don't think of myself in that role and wouldn't label myself as such) and I somewhat have the impression we're in different time zones (and if we aren't, we will be in a month). You might want to check out Wikipedia:Adopt-a-user/Adoptee's Area, which has a list of users who are more enthusiastic about mentoring as well as a template you can put on your user page to let users know you'd like to have a mentor ({{subst:adopt me}}).

Peter Tobin

edit

I've reverted your edit to Peter Tobin because the material you added wasn't verified by the source you provided [1]. Additionally, the source is very poor, unsuitable for biographical information for a living person. --Ronz (talk) 15:38, 21 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

You may want to try WP:TWA to get a better understanding of Wikipedia while you look for a mentor. --Ronz (talk) 15:43, 21 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

Your subsequent edits

edit

I've reverted your edit to Precedent [2]. There's no source and it appears to be your own opinion that you used to contrast against the sourced material there. This is original research to further a point of view not in the sources.

Likewise, your edit to Hank Hill [3] has similar problems. There's no source but in this case other content in the article might be interpreted to imply this. This is an improper synthesis of sourced material, possibly with an unsourced point of view added as well. I've left it intact, hoping you'll work on improving it and providing a direct source for whatever content you decide fits the article.

You may have been noticed that your edit to Better Call Saul has been reverted [4]. I agree with the removal and assessment: Wikipedia is not a venue for speculation. While the information you added is verified in the reference, and even comes from another source, it's pure speculation. --Ronz (talk) 00:42, 22 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

I've tagged the contribution to Contract [5] that you restored as failing verification. Additionally, the sentence is difficult to understand and the source is poor. I don't expect it will be difficult to find a better source. --Ronz (talk) 14:45, 22 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

I've removed your contribution to Remind Me (Röyksopp song). No source, etc. --Ronz (talk) 14:48, 22 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

I've removed your contribution to Pitcoudie for the same reasons. --Ronz (talk) 14:08, 27 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

Adopt-a-user

edit

Hello. This is a courtesy note to inform you that I have removed the "adopt me" template from your User page. You have not been active on Wikipedia for a considerable time. Its presence misleads others into thinking that you are still seeking to be adopted and then guided by another editor under the Wikipedia:Adopt-a-user scheme. Obviously, you are free to reinsert it if you return to active editing and want to seek adoption again. For simple questions about editing, just ask any of us at the The Teahouse.
