 * If you need help with citing sources, please ask, there are also informational pages to help you. I see no edit where you attempted to add a source but it did not display. 331dot (talk) 09:10, 12 May 2020 (UTC)


 * I've restored the declined unblocks again. If you continue to remove them your access to this page will be revoked.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 18:30, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

, here a category gets added that I expect was meant to be a reference, "Rocketman Company Credits-IMDb". Both the content and the source are debatable, but there clearly was an intent to cite a source that lists Paramount as a production company. Huon (talk) 21:59, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks. I can see what you are saying. 331dot (talk) 23:19, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

Yes, the reference I use is IMDb — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.198.221.207 (talk) 16:51, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
 * IMDb is explicitly prohibited as a reliable source. See WP:RS. --Yamla (talk) 20:08, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

OK, if they unblock me I promise to use other reliable sources and put them in references. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.198.221.207 (talk • contribs) 22:42, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
 * To me this looks like a good-faith beginner's mistake. If Materialscientist has no objections, I'd consider unblocking you if you can do two things: Firstly, demonstrate here on this page that you can create properly-formatted references (hint: WP:Referencing for beginners). Secondly: Explain shortly in your own words what makes sources reliable in Wikipedia's view (hint: WP:Identifying reliable sources). If you can do that, we'll know that the problems that caused the block won't recur, and the block is no longer necessary. Huon (talk) 12:11, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

2) For the importance of the quality of Wikipedia articles, it is necessary to base them on reliable and verifiable sources, accepting as references only the works of accredited authors on the subject in question and not the personal opinions of Wikipedians. For the same purpose, it is also preferable to use signed content than unsigned content. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.198.221.207 (talk • contribs) 01:35, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
 * For the above reference, you used "Adrian" as the publisher, but that field is supposed to be for the publisher of the article. Typically, either "publisher" or "website" is used, not both. For IMDb, having  would be sufficient. Of course, in the above exchange, other users have pointed out to you that IMDb should not be used as an inline citation due to its status as an unreliable source and I want that to be clear again.
