Philip Carey edit[edit]

I notced that you added "His family's names were noted, as here, in his obituary in the L.A.Times 2/10/2009." to Philip Carey, with the edit summary "Supplied requested citation".

Perhaps you need to review Wikipedia:Citing sources to refresh your concept of what a citation should be. Wikipedia has standard ways of creating inline citations, depending on the source of the cited information (book, newspaper, website, etc.) That approach allows the citation to appear as a footnote (often with a link to the cited source), rather than as a sentence in the text of the article.

I have replaced the sentence that you added with a formatted citation. Eddie Blick (talk) 00:51, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You are an unresponsive editor because you seem to have not taken the message above into account. You have continued to claim that you're adding citations in your edit summaries, but you have done no such thing. You've also been adding relatively trivial text to Wikipedia, at articles such as Arthur Godfrey. Wikipedia is not IMDB, with which we have an unusual relationship.

Hello, I just saw this message, and did not mean to seem unresponsive. Is adding season and episode useful for corroborating a citation? I noticed sometimes just the year is provided, so I tried to stay in that format, and keep it chronological. I sometimes have difficulty with the pre-formatted listings for Films and TV, so have deleted my own text if it didn't fit. Thank you for sending me an email, so I am able to respond.
