September 2022

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Them! has been reverted.
Your edit here to Them! was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links in references which are discouraged per our reliable sources guideline (see also this list of frequently-discussed sources). The reference(s) you added or changed (https://warnerbros.fandom.com/wiki/Them!) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 08:45, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit to Thunderbolt (Kennywood) has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information.

Reliable sources

I saw that you cited the IMDb in an article. The IMDb should be cited on Wikipedia because it's user-generated, the same as Wikipedia itself. Reliable sources, as defined by Wikipedia, should have a history of fact checking, make corrects, and have a professional editorial board. Websites that accept submissions by the public aren't considered reliable because anyone can say whatever they want. The IMDb's content can be useful for looking for details that are probably correct, but they should be verified in a more reliable source, such as Variety or The Hollywood Reporter. For example, if you're not sure who produced a film, you could check the IMDb to see what it says. If it says that the Wikimedia Foundation produced The Wikipedia Film, you could search for "The Wikipedia Film" "Wikimedia Foundation" in your favorite search engine, which would likely turn up some useful results. In general, it's safest to stick to mainstream newspapers and magazines. You can see a list of frequently discussed sources at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources, which links to various discussions about each source.

Your username

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "The Perfume Directory", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, service, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are permitted to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you individually (not your role), such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, service, or website, regardless of your username. Please also read our paid editing policy and our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please request a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, choosing a username that complies with our username policy. Alternatively, you can just create a new account and use that for editing. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. 331dot (talk) 09:27, 28 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked / Copyright problems continued

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for violating copyright policy by copying text or images into Wikipedia from another source without evidence of permission. Please take this opportunity to ensure that you understand our copyright policy and our policies regarding how to use non-free content. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

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 ~~~~}}.

Despite the clear warning above, you have continued to blatantly add material that you have copied from other sources. I've temporarily disabled this account until you can respond and indicate that you have some understanding of the problem. It would also be wise to respond to the other warnings on this page. Thanks.
