Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Danny Dyer. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. ⊃°HotCrocodile…… + 12:01, 2 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Play Your Cards Right. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions.

Disambiguation link notification for August 23

Hi. When you recently edited List of Fighting Talk episodes, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bob Mills (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello, I'm Mattythewhite. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Clarke Carlisle, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Mattythewhite (talk) 15:16, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Clarke Carlisle

I'm afraid 'your word', or anyone's for that matter, doesn't pass as a reliable source. I think it would be greatly beneficial if you read a few guidelines regarding sourcing, including WP:BLP and WP:BURDEN. And I see you've readded the content on the article without a source, which is curious considering you've dug out a source and posted it on my TP. Regards, Mattythewhite (talk) 22:27, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content, as you did to Clarke Carlisle, without verifying it by citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Giant Snowman 16:41, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You need to provide reliable sources to verify information, especially about living people. Thank you for the apology though. Giant Snowman 17:28, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits

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:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 17:01, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Opting in to VisualEditor

As you may know, VisualEditor ("Edit ^beta") is currently available on the English Wikipedia only for registered editors who choose to enable it. Since you have made 50 or more edits with VisualEditor this year, I want to make sure that you know that you can enable VisualEditor (if you haven't already done so) by going to your preferences and choosing the item, "MediaWiki:Visualeditor-preference-enable". This will give you the option of using VisualEditor on articles and userpages when you want to, and give you the opportunity to spot changes in the interface and suggest improvements. We value your feedback, whether positive or negative, about using VisualEditor, at Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback. Thank you, Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 20:25, 11 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Rugby on British TV

The article Rugby on British TV has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP:NOTTVGUIDE

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
