  Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:John Christie (murderer) are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic or unrelated topics. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you.

WP:VERIFY says that the burden for adding sources is on the person adding the content. Telling me to look on BBC or Wikipedia isn't an acceptable source- especially since Wikipedia doesn't class itself as a reliable source. It's very simple, add sources with the things, or they count as original research. Joseph2302 (talk) 00:30, 31 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

Also, the name of the singer isn't listed on BBC Sport article, which is where you told me to look. Joseph2302 (talk) 00:33, 31 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

No, I didn't. I said check the BBC. Never mentioned BBC Sports.--Doris Kami (talk) 00:34, 31 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

Not my job to find sources. It's your job if you want to add the material, WP:VERIFY] makes that very clear. Joseph2302 (talk) 00:38, 31 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

Do not modify others' talk page comments

edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:Ed Gein, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. 32.218.41.195 (talk) 17:04, 2 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

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.

  Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to FBI. Your edits could be interpreted as vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. - theWOLFchild 01:07, 10 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Please do not accuse me of introducing incorrect information into articles. Thank you.--Doris Kami (talk) 23:47, 10 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
But you did. I have no idea why you felt the need to change the word "spokespersons" to "spokesmen", but if you check the source, they used the word "spokespersons". That is a direct quote, and I stated as such in my edit summary. You deliberately introduced incorrect information, that's why you were reverted and that's also why you were given this notification template, so you could learn from your mistake and hopefully not repeat it. I would suggest you take the time to read through some of the links provided in the 'welcome' template at the top of this page, so that you can learn to contribute more effectively. Have a nice day. - theWOLFchild 00:00, 11 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to James Rusbridger. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
Also note that any article changes you make must be explained, as per Wikipedia:EDITSUMMARY
Lastly, if you have any questions or comments regarding this notice, post them here, and not on my talk page, as per Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines. Thank you. - theWOLFchild 00:44, 11 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Edit Summary

edit

  Hi there! Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. Thanks! - theWOLFchild 14:10, 15 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Caroline Flack, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Enfield. 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.

Your editing...

edit

...is problematic. Many of your recent edits have had to be reverted, as you continue to make changes without supporting them by way of reliable sources or supporting them by way edit summaries. You have been adding strange WP:MARKUP, removing helpful blue links and also removing red links despite the guidelines. All of this creates work for other editors here and does nothing to improve the project. Please read through and learn Wikipedia's editing policies and guidelines so that you can contribute more effectively. In the meantime, I would suggest you propose changes to article talk pages so that more experienced editors can determine if they're needed, and perhaps look into the Wikipedia:Adopt-a-user program so that you can be paired up with a mentor. - theWOLFchild 15:55, 12 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm Politanvm.

It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Death was reported in error.
