January 2023[edit]

Information icon Hello, I'm Fragrant Peony. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, RuPaul's Drag Race (season 6), 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. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Fragrant Peony (talk) 03:50, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Drag Race contestant edits[edit]

Hello, I noticed that you have been making multiple and repeated disruptive edits the “Contestants” sections on various Drag Race articles. Firstly, all information on Wikipedia must be based on a reliable source (see WP:RS); in these articles, the cited sources are typically articles in major magazines announcing the cast of each season, with cast member hometowns listed. The hometowns on wikipedia articles must match what is listed in these sources (i.e., if the source says New York City, do not change to Manhattan or Brooklyn). Secondly, Wikipedia articles must comply with the Manual of Style. there is a section describing how geographical locations are to be linked. please familiarize yourself with WP:GEOLINK before reformatting the links for geographical locations.

Thanks! Griffindaly (talk) 18:57, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

NYC and Los Angeles is just boring lol. All of the NYC queens that I had made more specific were from interviews or major magazines when they went into detail where they live. For example, Bob was listed as being from Queens in that vulture article that had the front facing photos. Salina was on another shows around drag race and she was listed as being from Stockton, California. Stockton is in LA and she was from LA during her season.
Even the queens who had spefific cities were sometimes listed as just NYC and LA (Laganja was from Van Nuys but was just listed as LA, same with Shangie being from Studio City and Cracker being in Harlem)
It's really not a big deal being specific. I feel like it brings more character and im not lying about it either, I either use the drag race fan wiki or a interview to make sure that it's a trusted source. MiitomoChris (talk) 22:55, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

if you are using sources to make these changes, you must provide a citation. again, please review WP:RS for the appropriate guidelines. (the drag race fan wiki is not a reliable source, and interviews before or after someone’s time on drag race are not relevant to an article about their time as a contestant) Griffindaly (talk) 18:21, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for February 22[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited RuPaul's Drag Race (season 11), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page West Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. 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.)

Wikipedia and copyright[edit]

Control copyright icon Hello MiitomoChris! Your additions to List of school shootings in the United States (before 2000) 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.

  • 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 cite the source using an inline citation. 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. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
  • We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
  • If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
  • 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 must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

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) 16:27, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sourcing violations on The Real World articles[edit]

Hi. Please do not add uncited material to articles, as you did with with your edits to various articles on seasons of The Real World, including Miami, Back to New York, Las Vegas (2002 season), Chicago, Paris, Philadelphia, Austin, San Diego (2011 season), and St. Thomas.

As at least two other editors discussed with you above, this violates Wikipedia's Verifiability policy. Wikipedia requires that the material in its articles be accompanied by reliable, verifiable (usually secondary) sources explicitly cited in the text in the form of an inline citation, which you can learn to make here. If you ever have any other questions about editing, or need help regarding the site's policies, just let me know by leaving a message for me in a new section at the bottom of my talk page. Thanks.

Disambiguation link notification for April 11[edit]

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of victims of the September 11 attacks (A–G), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Greenville, New York.

Frank De Martini[edit]

Please stop adding uncited material and poorly cited material to articles, as you did with these edits to Frank De Martini, as this violates Wikipedia's Verifiability policy, something that and other editors have already warned you about multiple times on this talk page.

Wikipedia requires that the material in its articles be accompanied by reliable, verifiable (usually secondary) sources explicitly cited in the text in the form of an inline citation, which you can learn to make here. An unknown YouTube channel is not a reliable sources, and multiple passages or paragraphs that you added in your edits included no citations at all. In addition to this, you added a mention of the elderly man carried down the stairs, when that was already mentioned in the section. Nightscream (talk) 02:52, 1 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Laila McQueen[edit]

I'm glad to see that you created the page for the queen Laila McQueen. I've added the link to several other pages *and* added it to the RPDR Template and added that template to the article. A few Suggestions for making an even better page.

  • References should generally be more than just the URL. See WP:REFB or look at some of the better pages about queens, for example Bianca Del Rio.
  • Create a new conversation about having added the queen on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Drag Race (aka WT:RPDR). That helps others who write articles about Drag Race that the article has been created so others can do things like link it or add information they might have.
  • Join the Wikipedia project at Wikipedia:WikiProject Drag Race.

Once again, glad to see the article.Naraht (talk) 15:49, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
