Information icon Hello, I'm MPFitz1968. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Fuller House (TV series), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. CAPTAIN RAJU ( ) 18:03, 9 March 2016 (UTC) reply

Please stop your disruptive editing, as you did at Mariah Carey. Your edits have been or will be reverted or removed.

Do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively may result in your being blocked from editing. — IB [ Poke ] 16:23, 10 March 2016 (UTC) reply

Stop icon You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Baby, It's Cold Outside (Scandal). Jdcomix ( talk) 00:45, 17 March 2016 (UTC) reply

Disambiguation link notification for March 22

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Wicked City (TV series), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Chicago Fire. 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.

Your edits

At this point, edits like this (what viewers panned the critic? That's a statement with no back up to be found) and this (television series don't attack each other; it's stupid writing) can definitely be deemed as damage to the encyclopedia. Learn how to edit within our guidelines, use actual sources to back up your statements, and stop trying to create controversies where there are none at all.

WP:COLOR

Information icon Greetings. At least one of your recent edits, such as the edit you made to Private Practice (season 1), contributed colours that may cause accessibility problems for users with certain types of visual disabilities. We aim to use colours that meet the WCAG AAA standard for accessibility. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines on this subject, which can be found at WP:COLOR; this page provides further information about contributing AAA-compliant colours to this encyclopedia. For information specific to templates used in articles about television, please also see Template talk:Infobox television season/Archive 3. If you only meant to make some test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Images in article text

I ask that you please read WP:ACCESS and understand why we can't have logos or images within the body of article text. We don't do that because screenreaders for the blind and visually impaired must be able to read an article cleanly without any errors, and adding a logo in that text, like you did with the schedule article (which is not vandalism, as alleged above; I see what you were doing but as I'm saying, anything done for simple decoration needs to be deliberately thought out before being put in) or Grey's Anatomy complicates that screenreading process, and otherwise makes reading the article distracting. Thank you in the meantime for improving your editing processes and trying to understand them better. Nate ( chatter) 23:44, 7 August 2016 (UTC) reply

Warning icon Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Waiting for Tonight, you may be blocked from editing. Rob van vee 14:52, 15 September 2016 (UTC) reply

To give you more detail about the problem with the edit, you stated that the song was "the best of her career" without a reliable source. That is a personal opinion, and a very bold one. Additionally, you need to start using edit summaries on every edit. Sundayclose ( talk) 14:58, 15 September 2016 (UTC) reply

Stop icon You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Wicked City (TV series). Sundayclose ( talk) 16:06, 8 October 2016 (UTC) reply

Howiebraunstein, is there something about "unsourced" and "no personal opinion" that you don't understand? If so, please respond here and I'll try to explain. If you don't ask for help with the problem of adding unsourced information your edits can be interpreted as vandalism and flagrant disregard for Wikipedia's policies. I'll be happy to try to help you, but if you continue with this pattern of edits without at least acknowledging what the problem is, I'm afraid I have no choice but to make sure you are blocked from editing. Please read WP:BLOCK if you don't understand what a block means for you. I hope you will respond here. Thanks. Sundayclose ( talk) 16:13, 8 October 2016 (UTC) reply
Since you have made edits since the above message and have not responded here, I have no choice but to conclude that you refuse to discuss your problem edits. And you continue to make unsourced additions. After the next problem edit, you'll need to explain yourself at WP:ANI or get a block. Sundayclose ( talk) 21:35, 11 October 2016 (UTC) reply

You are violating one Wikipedia's core policies by adding uncited, unfootnoted personal-life claim about a living person. Per WP:BLP, personal-life claims about a living person must have reliable-source citations. In addition, you are falsifying an article by deliberately placing an uncited claim within a cited passage. Finally, you are edit-warring to do so. I am reverting your violative change, and if you continue to vandalize Wikipedia by making unverified claims about a living person, an admin will block you from editing.-- Tenebrae ( talk) 02:03, 23 February 2017 (UTC) reply

Information icon Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but we cannot accept original research. 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. Thank you. 183.171.183.227 ( talk) 07:25, 1 April 2017 (UTC) reply
