Note about sourcing edits edit

 

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. However, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to G-14, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. --Muchness 11:55, 9 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Bella Thorne - Please cite references edit

Hi there. I noticed you've added quite a bit of new information to the Bella Thorne page. Your edits are very much appreciated, but I'm just dropping a note to let you know some types of information really need you to cite reliable sources. Some information like her television/film resume, which is easily verifiable on IMDb and TV.com is one thing, but other edits, particularly personal information - such as her father being dead, and ethnic background, etc - really need reliable references. Your edits appear to be well written, and I don't doubt that your information is accurate, but Wikipedia needs you to list reliable sources/references for this type of "personal" information. Also - it is Wikipedia's policy that information gathered from a celebrity's personal website, fansites, or Twitter account are not considered 'reliable' sources without being verifiable by a reliable 3rd party source. I checked youtube and was able to find the View From the Bay interview to verify that she indeed stated that her father had passed away in 2007 (and I've added a reference for it), but I'm asking you to please re-check your recent edits to the page, and add references for as much of the "personal" information that you can, as well as the edits to her "professional" career before she'd achieved popular "notability" (such as commercial and modeling work that isn't easily verifiable on IMDb and TV.com, etc). Again, your edits appear to be well written, and I don't doubt that you have reliable sources for your conributions, but Wikipedia requires you to cite them, or else your hard work could be deleted if it's determined that there are no reliable sources for it, and I don't want to see that happen. If you have any trouble; feel free to contact me on my talk page and I'll be happy to help you add reflinks. Thanks Crakkerjakk (talk) 22:15, 31 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

  • Thanks for taking the extra time to cite your references. I know it's a lot of extra work, but it helps a lot to prove your edits are verifiable. I just went in and did some minor clean-up to the reflinks (mainly just site-name and accessdate fixes). I could tell by the way your edits were written that you weren't just one of the younger kids vandalizing her page, but there are a lot of youngsters who will make "prank" edits to the young star's pages, so citing your sources is always the best way to make sure your work doesn't get reverted or deleted.  ;-) --- Crakkerjakk (talk) 02:01, 2 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Disambiguation link notification for November 24 edit

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

ArbCom elections are now open! edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
