November 2015

Greetings. At least one of your recent edits, such as the edit you made to Hell's Kitchen (U.S. TV series), did not appear to be constructive and has been or will be reverted or removed. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, 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 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.

Hello, I'm ReferenceBot. I have automatically detected that an edit performed by you may have introduced errors in referencing. It is as follows:

On the Dude Perfect page, your edit caused a cite error (help). (Fix | Ask for help)

December 2015

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edits to Dude Perfect, it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, reduces edit conflicts, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Thank you. NFL is Awesome (ZappaOMati) 02:56, 28 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Eteethan. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —the one you made with this edit to MasterChef Junior— because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Eteethan(talk) 22:01, 8 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making nonconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at MasterChef Junior with this edit. 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. Eteethan(talk) 22:02, 8 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add unsourced or original content, as you did with this edit to MasterChef Junior. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Eteethan(talk) 22:06, 8 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is your final warning. You may be blocked from editing without further notice the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with this edit to MasterChef Junior. Eteethan(talk) 22:07, 8 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Oshwah. I noticed that you recently removed some content from MasterChef Junior with this edit, without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 18:23, 16 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hell's Kitchen

The response to your edits at Hell's Kitchen season articles seems to be similar to the response at Master Chef pages. I suggest you open a discussion at an article talk page to discuss whether there is any point in continuing, as vertually every edit you have made has been reverted. --AussieLegend (✉) 04:09, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop continuing to remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Hell's Kitchen (U.S. season 15), without resolving the problem that the template refers to. This may be considered disruptive editing. Further edits of this type may result in your account being blocked from editing. Your removal of the template without addressing the identified problem was grossly inappropriate given thge explanation in the attached note, which you also deleted AussieLegend (✉) 17:15, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello 73.43.69.244, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to MasterChef Australia (series 6) 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) 23:27, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
