Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. 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. Thank you! Materialscientist (talk) 04:43, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

February 2019

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Howie Long, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—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. Thank you. Gaelan 💬✏️ 05:43, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

Reliable sources

Hello. Please review Wikipedia:Reliable sources. Celebheights.com is not reliable, and should not be cited on Wikipedia. This is especially important for biographies of living people, which are held to stricter standards. You may also want to look at Wikipedia:Citing IMDb, but simply put: please don't cite IMDb. It's sometimes reliable, and is often linked at the end of articles for convenience, but these are exceptions, not the norm.

Information in Template:infobox person must also have a reliable source, and must also be relevant to why a person is noteworthy, which would also be explained by sources. Thanks. Grayfell (talk) 02:26, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

I agree completely with Grayfell. These are not reliable sources by Wikipedia's standards. Also, your edit summaries indicate that you are looking at photos of two celebrities standing side by side, drawing your own conclusions about who is taller, and then adding your conclusions to Wikipedia. Please read the policy that forbids original research, and stop this behavior. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 05:08, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi guys. Sorry I’ve been submitting edit summaries about pictures, I just got this message and resubmitted Eli Manning’s height again with the same explanation before I saw this.

Eli Manning

You need to provide real evidence about Eli Manning height to change the article. How tall YOU think he looks DOES NOT MATTER. All current sources say he is 6'5". So any source you bring into this has to (1) exist, and (2) be acknowledged as being a better source than the NFL stats on his height. Until such source is produced, you need to stop editing your own thoughts into the article. Thank you. dreiss2 (talk) 00:43, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Chris Evans (actor), without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Please note that you cannot use Wikipedia in citations per WP:CIRCULAR. You may wish to consider using an appropriate citation from the article you cited. DonIago (talk) 19:01, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
