User talk:AvalloneTN

April 2020

Hello, I'm LuK3. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Blake Shelton, 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. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. -- LuK3 (Talk) 15:59, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Blake Shelton, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. IMDb is not a reliable source, please see Wikipedia:External links/Perennial websites#IMDb. -- LuK3 (Talk) 16:37, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Blake Shelton. -- LuK3 (Talk) 16:44, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@LuK3: You still have not specified whether or not Imdb is a credible or unreliable source. This is strange considering that Imdb is constantly used as a reliable source for Wikipedia entries. You got issues.. AvalloneTN (talk) 16:50, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have pointed you to the appropriate use of IMDb links. However, content is user-submitted and therefore not generally reliable. (This includes biographies, which cannot be directly edited.) You cited the IMDb biography page, which we cannot accept as a reliable source. -- LuK3 (Talk) 16:53, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Important notice

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because it appears that you are not here to build an encyclopedia.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Jauerback^dude?/_dude. 17:06, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I was about to warn you about this ^ being a possibility, but it has happened already. I have removed personal attacks from this page; I recommend carefully addressing and retracting them if you decide to appeal the block. You have effectively been blocked for persistently adding poorly referenced content in violation of Wikipedia's biographies of living people policy, for edit warring against this concern, and for making personal attacks when being informed about the issue. You probably need to provide specific examples for edits you would like to make in the future, and should wait a considerable amount of time – perhaps even half a year (WP:SO) – before writing an appeal. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 17:16, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
