Hello, I'm DreamRimmer. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Kimberly Metz, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. DreamRimmer (talk) 18:58, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

You will see that I've reverted your edits on Kimberly Metz again, so I wanted to explain to you why I've been describing them as unsourced, or unreliably sourced (YouTube, IMDb). IMDb is deemed unsuitable because it relies on user generated content, which goes through no fact checking or other editorial oversight. This is the same for YouTube. With YouTube, it might seem like the evidence is right there!, there's a whole video that shows it! At Wikipedia, though, secondary sources are relied upon, partly to verify notability is well. It may be true that X did a video on Y, but until a secondary source reports on it, Wikipedia doesn't necessarily acknowledge it as a notable fact.

The "She has shot numerous celebrities..." paragraph goes on to list eighty celebrities she has photographed. That list will get pared down. Wikipedia isn't meant to be an indiscriminate laundry list of every detail about a topic. Again, that's why Wikipedia considers notability important, too, and relies on secondary sources to estalish it. Hope that helps explain. signed, Willondon (talk) 20:18, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
