Deletion request

edit

Hello there, you placed a template on your own page here that caused it to appear as a request for deletion. You can simply delete all the contents of your own page any time you like (though many users prefer to keep the page as an ongoing record of their discussions.) If your request was for something else, please reply here and I'll try to help. Kim Dent-Brown (Talk) 10:02, 28 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

  Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Family Feud, 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. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. DonIago (talk) 14:59, 20 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Mr. Bad Guy, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page CBS Records (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.)

  Hello. Some of your recent genre changes have conflicted with our neutral point of view and/or verifiability policies. While we invite all users to contribute constructively to Wikipedia, we urge all editors to provide reliable sources for edits made. When others disagree, we recommend you seek consensus for certain edits by discussing the matter on the article's talk page.

  Please refrain from adding, removing or changing genres, as you did to Memories (Maroon 5 song), without providing a source or establishing a consensus on the article's talk page first. Genre changes to suit your own point of view are considered disruptive. Thank you. CoolMarc 14:09, 14 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Total Eclipse of the Heart, you may be blocked from editing. Given your history of being warned for adding unsourced material in the past, it is disappointing that you would continue this practice. DonIago (talk) 16:54, 23 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

  Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada v Bell Canada. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.
