Ethnicelebs.com as a source
editHi Edgein86 . I'm in the process of removing ethnicelebs.com as a source from Wikipedia, because it's not reliable (See User_talk:XLinkBot/RevertList#EthniCelebs.com). I noticed that you've added it, and wanted to make sure you understood why it's being removed. If you disagree, let's discuss it. Thanks. --Ronz (talk) 22:47, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

editRemoval of citation
editWhy did you remove a legitimate (and necessary) citation in this edit? Sundayclose (talk) 04:11, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
My apologies, I didn’t realise that confirmation of birthdates were necessary. The majority of Wiki pages I’ve seen for actors / celebs don’t have refs for this. Edgein86 (talk) 01:14, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for the reply. For future reference, everything on Wikipedia is subject to removal if it doesn't have a reliable source. It's not a good idea to use the standard that if something is unsourced in other articles, it doesn't require a source in the article you are editing. Sundayclose (talk) 01:16, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
You’re absolutely right - thanks for clarifying for me. Edgein86 (talk) 01:18, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics
editYou have recently edited a page related to gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
- adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
- comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
- follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
- comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
- refrain from gaming the system.
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.
Please have a look also at the information at this page, which appears every time you edit J. K. Rowling. As a BLP, Rowling is also a contentious topic subject to restrictions in that area. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 00:45, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Putzel poster.jpeg
editThanks for uploading File:Putzel poster.jpeg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:39, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
August 2024
editPlease do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did at I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 01:20, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing.
- 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, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
- 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.
If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, you may be blocked from editing. Stop removing reliably sourced content. Your opinion, which is original research, is irrelevant. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 01:36, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
- Also, that sequel supposedly being released in 2025 is unsourced. If you want to cite that and re-add it, it's fine. But you can't remove a source merely because you disagree with it. Box Office Mojo is a reliable source; you aren't. To ignore it is to put undue weight on the other budget estimate. Besides, the same exact site that you cited says it might have been $65 million.
