Please stop righting WP:GREATWRONGS on Covid

The consensus on WP is that most “alternative views” on covid are dangerous unscientific misinformation. If you have a serious objection with reliable sources to back it up take it to the talk page. Dronebogus (talk) 18:45, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

Notice

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in COVID-19, broadly construed. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Talk page comments

Hi Max. Let me explain why I reverted your Talk page comments. If you want discuss how to change content in an article, you will need to bring references from reliable sources that back your assertions. Simply claiming "article x is biased" isn't constructive. As WP:FORUM states: "[…] bear in mind that article talk pages exist solely to discuss how to improve articles; they are not for general discussion about the subject of the article". It is not the place for "Personal essays that state your particular feelings about a topic (rather than the opinions of experts).". Kind regards, Robby.is.on (talk) 23:16, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for February 23

Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Oxymoron (Nik Kershaw album), but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source 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. Thanks. Materialscientist (talk) 11:28, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for your work on The Pete Best Band. Not all topics are notable (suitable for a stand-alone Wikipedia article). The The Pete Best Band article does not cite sources establishing notability, so it may get deleted. A source shows that the article topic is notable when it:

• contains significant coverage: it addresses the topic directly and in multiple paragraphs of detail. A source with only trivial or off-topic mentions of the subject doesn't count.
• is a reliable source: it has a reliable publication process, or a suitable expert author (look up the reliability of common sources, or discuss). Newspapers and books usually meet this criteria, company and personal websites usually do not.
• is independent of the subject: it isn't produced by the article's subject or someone similarly affiliated with it. For example, these are not independent: the subject's press releases, autobiographies, website, and interviews.

If you can find notability-establishing sources, please add them: more than one is needed unless the applicable subject-specific notability guideline states otherwise. Specific questions can be answered live at the Teahouse help forum. Thank you. Taking Out The Trash (talk) 23:00, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
