Cool categories

I am impressed by your observation of the value of consolidating notable athletes who are also criminals in various sports. I have created some more subcategories of Category:American athletes convicted of crimes. I would like to create one for pro wrestlers if it gets big enough but am not sure what to call it yet so I am just putting them in the main category.

Once they go in a subcategory we would remove them from the main category. Ranze (talk) 04:59, 11 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello HowAboutNo91, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Aundre Bumgardner 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) 03:12, 30 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

incorrect information

In the article, List of American state and local politicians convicted of crimes, you need to demonstrate how the information is incorrect; otherwise, you will continue to be reverted by various editors. Hmains (talk) 02:54, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This account has been blocked indefinitely as a sock puppet that was created to violate Wikipedia policy. Note that using multiple accounts is allowed, but using them for illegitimate reasons is not, and that all edits made while evading a block or ban may be reverted or deleted. If this account is not a sock puppet, and you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here ~~~~}} below.

{{unblock|Please can I be unblocked. For months I have been adding sourced and correct information to hundreds of articles, indeed I have even been creating articles to make wikipedia better, yet because of a few mistakes from about 4/5 years ago, I am once again blocked. We all make mistakes and made mine years ago, whereas now I make sure everything is up to a wikipedia standard with the correct sources, information and data. If you look at my recent edits, you shall see that I have been making articles better by adding more information to them. I just want to edit the articles that I am interested in and I don't vandalise or make a mess of articles. I have worked so hard on wikipedia to make articles better and from my edits, you shall see that that is true. I admit that when I was a new editor I made mistakes but this is 4 years later and I would like to be given a chance to show everyone that I am a good wikipedia editor.
