Hello, Ridenerad, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits to the page List of Rugrats episodes has not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and has been or will be removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. Additionally, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.
If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Hello, I'm
Cyphoidbomb. I noticed that you made a change to an article,
List of Rugrats episodes, 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. Diff:
[1] In this edit you changed a number of air dates without an explanation or the addition of a reference. A spot check of the episode "Pedal Pusher" at
TV.MSN.com shows an air date of March 6, 1999, not March 27 as you changed it to. Please be sure to add sources for your changes and explain your edits in your edit summary, as this type of thing can look like vandalism to other editors. Thanks.

Hello Ridenerad, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your addition to
100 Things to Do Before High School has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without
permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.
- You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and a cited source. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
- Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
- Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
- If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
- In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
- Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.
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, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Geraldo Perez ( talk) 02:01, 8 August 2015 (UTC)
You have made a mess of this template. I have reverted your edits to the template. Please spend some time learning about Wikipedia before attempting a complex edit such as editing a template. General Ization Talk 16:29, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to
Template:Nickelodeon original series and Nicktoons, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the
edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been
reverted. Please make use of the
sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.

Please stop your
disruptive editing, as you did at
SpongeBob SquarePants. Your edits have been
reverted or removed.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
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. NeilN talk to me 21:06, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
Hello, I'm
ReferenceBot. I have automatically detected that an edit performed by you may have introduced errors in referencing. It is as follows:

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, ReferenceBot ( talk) 00:46, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

Cyphoidbomb (
talk) 01:58, 28 October 2015 (UTC)- I'm not sure what was confusing about the previous warnings you received to stop adding copied content, but content you added in this edit can be found almost entirely unchanged at this source although my guess is that you lifted it from this source based on a Google search. Virtually everybody who attends primary school is taught that copying is bad, so there's no excuse for you to continue to do it. You are not helping the encyclopedia, you are hurting it. The next time will likely result in an indefinite block. Cyphoidbomb ( talk) 02:03, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
Please do not add or change content, as you did at
Dora the Explorer, without citing a
reliable source. Please review the guidelines at

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Dora and Friends: Into the City!, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Chris Gifford. 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 addition to
List of Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn episodes has been removed, as it appears to have added
copyrighted material to Wikipedia without
permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read
Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be
blocked from editing.

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. For the Election committee,

List of programs broadcast by Nickelodeon, you may be
blocked from editing. Thank you.

Geraldo Perez (

I strongly debated whether I would block your account again, or give you another warning. I'm going with the warning. Your changes here are inappropriate because you're attributing a statement to Wikia. You've had ample opportunity to click on the various links on your talk page that point to our reliable source guidelines. We're only interested in what reliable published sources with established reputations for fact-checking have to say about any given subject. User-generated sites (i.e. sites that users can contribute to or manipulate) like Wikia, IMDb, Yahoo! Answers, Wikihow, TV.com, TV Tropes, discussion forums, Wix websites, personal blogs, are insufficient for inclusion at Wikipedia. I strongly recommend you familiarize yourself very quickly with WP:RS and WP:UGC as this will be my only warning on the matter. The next time you submit improperly sourced content, I will suspend your editing privileges for much longer than last time, because you're just creating more work for editors to fix your problematic edits.

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of
your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to
Disney on Ice, did not appear constructive and has been undone. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our
welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make 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. Please discuss the issue on the article's talk page. SummerPhD

You have raised significant concerns about your ability to edit constructively and according to established guidelines. Competence is required at Wikipedia. If you file an unblock request, you're going to have to convince a reviewing admin that you understand the various issues you've previously been blocked for, as well as provide some convincing plan for avoiding these problems in the future.
