Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. While the Wikipedia community appreciates your obvious efforts to increase the amount of information on the site, we'd like to point out our policy against original research and for citing sources for the information you provide. This increases the reputation of Wikipedia as a whole and aids in checking the factuality of that article.
Also, about Honey (song): I originally removed the link to the page for the Bobby Goldsboro song as there wasn't an article for it yet, and Wikipedia:WikiProject Music advises against linking to song articles when they haven't been created yet. Extraordinary Machine 18:01, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
Unreferenced BLPs
[edit]Hello LarryM! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 2 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to insure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. if you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 687 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:
- Andrew Marshall (journalist) - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
- Geoff Aspel - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

The article Danny Pike has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Non-notable radio presenter.
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
