Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Chris Carrino, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Evan Roberts (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:23, 15 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

May 2018

  Hello, I'm Compassionate727. I noticed that you made one or more changes to an article, May 28, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

he referenced it on Twitter yesterday: https://twitter.com/ScoopB/status/1001185014846054400

And it seems that there is a reference here: https://www.famousbirthdays.com/people/brandon-robinson.html

Thanks! I've re-added the info in both locations using the latter source (the former technically isn't reliable, so the latter is better). For future reference, you are encouraged to be bold when editing, so if someone like me reverts an addition because it's unsourced, you can (and should) simply re-add it with the source. Also, please sign your comments on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~). Happy editing! Compassionate727 (T·C) 12:56, 30 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
Looks better. Looking online and it seems that people there is not a section for people also search for. Does that come from Wiki? How does that work? (~~~~)
I'm afraid I don't understand your question. Are you talking about "See also" sections? Or something else? Also, when writing your signature, just type the four tildes (not the parenthesis or nowiki stuff). Compassionate727 (T·C) 19:39, 30 May 2018 (UTC)Reply


Yes to the see also Jean luc harrington (talk) 20:33, 30 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

Those are added by editors like the two of us. If you have links that you think belong there, just add == See also == followed by those links. You can check out Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Layout#"See also" section for more information on them, including what generally does and does not belong.

Famousbirthdays.com is generally unreliable. See Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_153#Is_famousbirthdays.com_a_reliable_source_for_personal_information --Ronz (talk) 03:19, 6 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

An extended welcome

edit

Welcome to Wikipedia. I've added a welcome message to the top of this page that gives a great deal of information about Wikipedia. I hope you find it useful.

Additionally, I hope you don't mind if I share some of my thoughts on starting out as a new editor on Wikipedia: If I could get editors in your situation to follow just one piece of advice, it would be this: Learn Wikipedia by working only on non-contentious topics until you have a feel for the normal editing process and the policies that usually come up when editing casually. You'll find editing to be fun, easy, and rewarding. The rare disputes are resolved quickly and easily.

Working on biographical information about living persons is far more difficult. Wikipedia's Biographies of living persons policy requires strict adherence to multiple content policies, and applies to all information about living persons including talk pages.

If you have a relationship with the topics you want to edit, then you will need to review Wikipedia's Conflict of interest policy, which may require you to disclose your relationship and restrict your editing depending upon how you are affiliated with the subject matter.

Some topic areas within Wikipedia have special editing restrictions that apply to all editors. It's best to avoid these topics until you are extremely familiar with all relevant policies and guidelines.

I hope you find some useful information in all this, and welcome again. --Ronz (talk) 03:40, 6 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
