Hi. Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for working to improve the site with your edits to Going Native, as we really appreciate your participation. However, the edit had to be reverted, because Wikipedia cannot accept uncited synthesis, or synthesis which is supported only by primary sources, as this violates Wikipedia's policies on Verifiability, No Original Research, and synthesis. Wikipedia requires that all material added to articles be accompanied by reliable, verifiable sources explicitly cited in the text in the form of an inline citation, which you can learn to make here. With regard to material about the content of narrative works that is evaluative, analytical or interpretive, the source must be a secondary source, and it must explicitly mention the information in relation to the work in question. Relying instead on personal observation or interpretation is original research, and using primary sources to form conclusions not explicitly in those sources is synthesis, which is a form of original research. In addition, trivial information that is not salient to a reader's understanding of the plot should not be included, per WP:TVPLOT.

Lastly, if you're going to add material to Wikipedia, please take care that it is written in a manner that is grammatically coherent.

If you ever have any other questions about editing, or need help regarding the site's policies, just let me know by leaving a message for me in a new section at the bottom of my talk page. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 02:48, 14 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for September 3[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of longest-running U.S. primetime television series, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page TBS. 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.

ArbCom elections are now open![edit]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 17:06, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

April 2017[edit]

Please refrain from changing genres, as you did to Another Brick in the Wall, without providing a source or establishing a consensus on the article's talk page first. Genre changes to suit your own point of view are considered disruptive. Thank you. - Mlpearc (open channel) 14:29, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to change genres without discussion or sources, as you did at Goodbye Cruel World (Pink Floyd song), you may be blocked from editing. - Mlpearc (open channel) 14:38, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you change genres in pages without discussion or sources, as you did at The Happiest Days of Our Lives. - Mlpearc (open channel) 14:40, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Genre warring[edit]

Your recent editing history at Another Brick in the Wall 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. - Mlpearc (open channel) 14:44, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

ANI notice[edit]

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. - Mlpearc (open channel) 14:49, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

April 2017[edit]

Look, there is lots of work to do on Wikipedia (for example, I'm currently working on getting Obscured by Clouds) to good article status, but fiddling around with genres is just going to mean you get blocked. You're better off doing something else. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 15:13, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
