August 2008[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Intrepid class starship, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Please read WP:RS and WP:WAF. Continuing to "cite" information to an unreliable source (fan wiki) and add in-universe trivia not substantiated by any source is becoming disruptive. --EEMIV (talk) 19:40, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The burden of proof is on editors adding or restoring information. As yet, you have not cited a reliable source for the information you are adding. I have inserted mention of the "variable geometry pylons" among the other minutiae as a token giveaway in an attempt to appease you. However, continuing to add a large swath of uncited, in-universe trivia and to add a citation to an unreliable fan wiki source, despite repeatedly given links to WP:WAF and WP:RS that outline Wikipedia's requirements, is becoming disruptive. Please stop, read the policies, and re-evaluate whether your contributions fit the project's requirements. Your additions might be more apt at Memory Alpha. --EEMIV (talk) 22:16, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder, as you did to USS Voyager (Star Trek). For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Great that you found a source -- but copy-and-pasting it is a blatant copyright violation. Please reword it and cite it properly. --EEMIV (talk) 22:44, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
