Welcome![edit]

Hello, Carson2345, 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 edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may be removed if they have not yet been. 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:

August 2014[edit]

Hello, I'm Dom497. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Behemoth (roller coaster), 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.

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Behemoth (roller coaster). This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Please understand that I have no way to verify what your adding to the article is true. You said that this is based off of what someone said at the park. How do we know they were telling the truth? How do I even know that you talked to someone? On Wikipedia, you need to reliable sources (such as newspapers, trusted web sites, etc) to back up what your adding to prove that you are telling facts not myths/lies. If you still don't agree, I am open to talking to you until we are on the same terms. Dom497 (talk) 15:06, 6 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia. Dom497 (talk) 15:28, 6 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits[edit]

Greetings, and welcome. I know you mean well, but unfortunately we cannot accept information you say you obtained from the park. As Dom497 pointed out, the biggest reason is that we have no way of verifying the information. That is why we defer to published sources, including RCDB. When reviewing RCDB's entries for Vortex and Behemoth, they list the speeds that are currently in the article. As RCDB is considered a reliable source for roller coaster edits on Wikipedia, we defer to it when no other information is provided. If a published source gives a different value, we would go with that ... to a point. If the park says the speed is 100 km/h in a press release, we wouldn't necessarily accept that because the park is a primary source, and Wikipedia prefers independent, third-party sources for edits. Feel free to message on my talk page (or on the article talk pages) if you have other questions or concerns about this. --McDoob AU93 15:36, 6 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

August 2014[edit]

Your recent editing history at Behemoth (roller coaster) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Please stop your disruptive editing, as you did at List of roller coaster rankings. 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. GoneIn60 (talk) 16:52, 6 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
