Referencing

Hello, I'm Socrates2008. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Brad Drewett, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! 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. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Socrates2008 (talk • contribs) 08:05, 29 November 2012

Please do not add or change content, as you did to Brad Drewett, without verifying it by citing reliable sources. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Socrates2008 (talk • contribs) 23:15, 30 November 2012

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Brad Drewett. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Socrates2008 (talk • contribs) 07:31, 3 December 2012

This is your last warning. The next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Brad Drewett, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Socrates2008 (talk • contribs) 07:43, 3 December 2012

Brad Drewett

If you use the same citation more then once, there is a way to "reuse" them. See Wikipedia:Cite#Repeated_citations. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 07:47, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

• I am pleased to see that you have responded to messages above, by providing some sources. However, it is essential to give reliable sources. I suggest reading the guideline on reliable sources. There are also a few other issues that you should be aware of. Some of your editing, though by no means all, has been rather promotional in character. Some of the information you have provided has probably not been significant enough in relation to the subject of the article to justify inclusion. For example, such information as what the subject's father did for a living is the sort of background detail that you might include if you were writing a biographical book, but it usually does not belong in an encyclopaedia article, unless it is particularly relevant to the life of the subject of the article. Some of the information you have provided seems more likely to be known to a member of the subject's family, or a close friend, than to an outsider. This suggests that you may have a close connection with the person you have been writing about, in which case Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines would discourage you from writing about him. This often seems strange to people new to contributing to Wikipedia, who tend to think that someone with a close personal knowledge of the subject is the person most fitted to write about him. However, being closely involved makes it difficult to stand back far enough to get an objective, detached perspective on the subject. This is very likely, in fact, to be the reason for some of the problems mentioned above, such as the tendency to promotional writing, and the tendency to give undue weight to details which no doubt seem significant to someone closely connected, but seem trivial and of marginal relevance to an independent reader. Also, the apparent advantage of having an insider's knowledge of the subject is not, in fact, an advantage, as Wikipedia's policy is that we have only content that is recorded in reliable independent sources.

File permission problem with File:Brad Drewett.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Brad Drewett.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. SuperMarioMan 03:35, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
