Welcome!

Hello, Engkov1092, 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 recent edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and has been or will be removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or in other 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:

Your recent edit to Delta, Ohio appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person or organization added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you. – Gilliam (talk) 02:32, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Delta, Ohio, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. As noted above, make sure that, before adding anybody to a list of notable people, the person is actually notable. This usually means that there should already be an article about them on Wikipedia. —C.Fred (talk) 02:36, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at Delta, Ohio shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. 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.

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. —C.Fred (talk) 02:39, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edit to Warren Township High School appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person or organization added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you.

You appear to be having trouble making edits that stick. I've reverted more than one addition you've made to notable people lists. As the template above states a person should have a bio on Wikipedia before adding them to a notable person's list. Also please note that college athletes are generally not notable. The notability guidelines are long and confusing (and somewhat convoluted). I've been here 5 years and they still confuse me. Might I suggest you make use of the link above to Teahouse? The friendly hosts there will strive to answer your questions in as simple language as possible. Might I suggest also that until you are more familiar with the notability guidelines, you limit your additions to those who already have bios, and you make sure that their attendance at the school or connection to the community is properly sourced? Thanks. John from Idegon (talk) 05:49, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Warren Township High School, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Please start listening to what people are telling you. You're additions are making a lot of work for other editors. Unless a person has an article that has sourced content in it connecting them to whatever article's notable list you are adding them to, don't add them. You can add sources showing their connection if you wish, but that needs to be done prior to adding them to the notable list. You seem enthused about doing this. I wouldn't want to see your editing privileges get suspended, and frankly, that could have happened this time. I'll leave you instructions for adding references. Thanks.

Adding references can be easy

Hello! Here's how to add references from reliable sources for the content you add to Wikipedia. This helps maintain the Wikipedia policy of verifiability.

Adding well formatted references is actually quite easy:

While editing any article or a wikipage, on the top of the edit window you will see a toolbar which says "Cite". Click on it.
Then click on "Templates".
Choose the most appropriate template and fill in as many details as you can. This will add a well formatted reference that is helpful in case the web URL (or "website link") becomes inactive in the future.
Click on Preview when you're done filling out the 'Cite (web/news/book/journal)' to make sure that the reference is correct.
Click on Insert to insert the reference into your editing window content.
Click on Show preview to Preview all your editing changes.

Before clicking on Save page, check that a References header ==References== is near the end of the article.
And check that {{Reflist}} is directly underneath that header.

7. Click on Save page. ...and you've just added a complete reference to a Wikipedia article.

You can read more about this on Help:Edit toolbar or see this video File:RefTools.ogv.
Hope this helps, --John from Idegon (talk) 17:33, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
