Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to DJ Snake, but we cannot accept original research. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, and ideas—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Please provide evidence of reliable third party coverage of this subject's date of birth. It is not acceptable to for you to take it upon yourself to "fill in the blanks" where reliable coverage does not exist. Please take exceptional care when modifying biographical articles documenting living subjects. Yamaguchi先生 18:07, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

February 2016

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Play & Win, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. XXN, 15:06, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Moldovan Football Federation.gif

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Moldovan Football Federation.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 13:12, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:SpencerandHill2011.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:SpencerandHill2011.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted content borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Gunnex (talk) 21:08, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Spokeo on Wikipedia

In regards to these edits and edit summaries[1][2], Spokeo does not appear to be a reliable source. I was about to open up a discussion at the reliable sources noticeboard to see what the community thought about Spokeo, but there were already two threads about it. In this one, Fifelfoo noted that the website doesn't fact check their own claims, it's just populated by guesses from other websites who also don't fact check their claims. If you'll notice at WP:RS, fact checking is one of the most important qualities to seek in a source: "Articles should be based on reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy."

Also the argument that "I know it's him" doesn't hold any weight here on Wikipedia. We need to show our readers that the information we're adding is coming from reliable, third-party websites by adding citations. In this case, you're suggesting that a combination of your own personal knowledge mixed with this generally inaccurate website is sufficient, and no Wikipedia editor would agree with that. According to our No Original Research Policy, your sources need to directly support your claims. In other words, the only source that should be used in this case is one that explicitly states that the bassist from Deftones and Quicksand was born on August 26, 1968, which will likely stem from an interview. Also note that failure to adhere to Wikipedia's core policies, which includes the ones on reliable sources and original research, may result in a temporary block or permanent ban from editing. Let me know if you have any questions. Fezmar9 (talk) 19:01, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

Verifiable

This page explains Wikipedia's policy in verifiability. In short, something being true is not sufficient reason to include it on Wikipedia. A fact also has to be verifiable: that is, can be supported by reference to a reliable source. This is particularly true when dealing with biographies of living people -- see WP:BLP -- because of the legal implications. Bondegezou (talk) 17:04, 20 July 2016 (UTC)

Birth date of Frank Zummo

Hey Erik, you did include the birth year of Frank Zummo into the article about him, which is a nice piece of information. Although the birth day seems quite reliable (e.g., Sum 41 facebook page), it seems like the birth year is quite difficult to find out (unless one knows Frank or his friends/relatives personally). Do you have any reliable source that could be put into the article? Otherwise, I fear we have to delete the claimed year again. Please let me know or just include a source into the article. Best, Joerg Bader (talk) 09:03, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

Please stop adding unreferenced or poorly referenced biographical content, especially if controversial, to articles or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at Frank Zummo. Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory and is in violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

It is not clear at all if the information at http://www.spokeo.com/Frank-Zummo/New-York/Wyandanch/p2016101109091130282396008372718 is reliable, and if Spokeo is refering to the "right" Frank Zummo at all. You already got similar warnings about Spokeo on your talk page. Joerg Bader (talk) 09:59, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

February 2017

Hello, I'm Ringerfan23. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Guns N' Roses have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. RF23 (talk) 06:02, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

August 2017

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Fall Out Boy. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. 4TheWynne^{(talk)(contribs)} 12:48, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
