April 2016[edit]
Hello, I'm Chrisw80. I noticed that you made a change to an article, William Cheung, 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.

Who are you? The edit I made was correct. I'm Master Phillip Redmond. One of only two closed door students of Grandmaster William Cheung.(Sifupr (talk) 21:31, 19 April 2016 (UTC))
- Hello Master Redmond. I am Chrisw80, an experienced editor here on Wikipedia. I think you misunderstand the nature of Wikipedia. We need information in our articles to be sourced from secondary, reliable sources. Yourself and your organization would be considered a "primary source". If your involvement with Master Cheung has been discussed in secondary sources (newspapers, martial arts journals unrelated to either of you, etc.), we'd like to see it. Thank you for your time. I recommend you read Welcome to Wikipedia for more information about Wikipedia and it's goals and guidelines. Thank you for your time. Chrisw80 (talk) 00:56, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
Forget about adding William Cheung's two top students. Keith and I aren't looking for fame. The important people know who we are. At least get the name of his Association correct. It's now the Global Traditional Wing Chun Kung Fu Association (GTWCKFA). The should be very easy for you "researchers" to confirm by going to my Sifu's website http://www.cheungswingchun.com or http://www.gtwckfa.org/Sifupr (talk) 16:32, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 23:29, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
Please do not add or significantly change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did with this edit to William Cheung. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Laber□T 15:46, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to William Cheung with this edit. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Thank you.

Wikipedia and copyright[edit]
Hello Sifupr, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to William Cheung 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 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. (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. — Diannaa (talk) 19:57, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

December 2019[edit]
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions; however, it appears you may have written a Wikipedia article about yourself, at User:Sifupr/sandbox. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – please see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to or change an existing article about yourself, you are welcome to propose the changes by visiting the article's talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was the page I created deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss this with the deleting administrator. Thank you.
