Hello, I'm
Viewmont Viking. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the main body of an article. Generally, any relevant external links should be listed in an "External links" section at the end of the article and meet the
external links guidelines. Links within the body of an article should be
internal Wikilinks. 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. --

Please don't cite imdb as a source in articles. See WP:IMDB for details. Thanks! Schazjmd (talk) 15:52, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
Hello Gjb0zWxOb! Your additions to
Joseph Meyer (songwriter) have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the
public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a
suitably free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see
Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid
copyright and
plagiarism issues.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa ( talk) 22:52, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, Gjb0zWxOb! I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may still benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detectedthat when you recently edited Colorado v. Connelly, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Justice Brennan. 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) 17:49, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for your improvements in architecture topics.
You can streamline repeated references by naming them and then just adding the named footnote in subsequent appearances.
See Help:Footnotes#Footnotes: using a source more than once.
You can see how I treated Julia Morgan and Timothy L. Pflueger as examples. Binksternet ( talk) 19:16, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

Given the state of your talkpage, I imagine you know that you don't know how to reference well yet (although given the fact you have been ignoring those messages and not improving since August last year, maybe not). So I would encourage you to learn and practice by editing in your sandbox first.
Also remember that WP:ledes generally don't have references, so think about what and why you would add them there for.
As another note, if an article is a WP:Good article since, let's say, 2018, it will be more than adequately referenced and you inserting new references partway through sentences (i.e. disrupting the passage of information sourced to the reference already present) is only harming it. So just don't. Especially when you can't do it well. Kingsif ( talk) 05:22, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
A lot of your edits are tagged as " Newcomer task: copyedit", but it's actually you removing chunks of information for not being sourced. This is NOT what the task is, and you are not developing Wikipedia skills while doing it.
If you find an article that is largely unreferenced, check how old it is - if it is quite a few years old, it was probably written before the citation standards we have now are in place, and it would be appropriate to add a tag to the top of the article saying the article needs references. If there are only a few passages missing citations, then a simple inline {{cn}} tag at the end of those passages is appropriate. Rarely is it appropriate to remove whole sections of an article you have little or no experience with, unless the unsourced information is controversial or about a living/recently deceased person. Tag the articles.
And if you are going to do newcomer tasks, actually follow the tasks. Kingsif ( talk) 05:29, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
Please stop. If you continue to add
unsourced or poorly sourced content, you may be
blocked from editing. Make sure that the references that you add actually support the content that you're citing the reference for. I've had to undo a number of your edits because you added a reference about the article topic but that didn't support the specific content that you cited them for. Your repeated editing mistakes are causing more work for other editors to clean up after you. Also, please learn to name repeated references, as you've been told about before.

In 2016, she was honored as being one of the most popular celebrities born in San Francisco, alongside [[Rob Schneider]], [[Bruce Lee]], and others.Then look at the source: it's simply a clickbait slideshow "according to imdb". There's no "honor", there's no thoughtful selection; it's just a toss-away webpage that hopes to lure in readers. It's of no significance to her biography. I've removed it. Schazjmd (talk) 16:05, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
At List of people from San Francisco, please stop writing broken citation templates. I grow weary cleaning up after you (diff permalink). Broken citation templates produce visible error messages. Please preview your edits before you click publish to ensure that there are no error messages. Thank you.
