Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at User:BlackoutDTLA/sandbox. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted or removed. Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive, until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively could result in loss of editing privileges. ''Your repeated resubmission of a sandbox containing only an infobox is tendentious. You may be blocked if you continue.'' Robert McClenon (talk) 00:07, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor then please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Hi Robert -- I am not in a dispute with anyone. I am simply trying to get as much accurate information onto this article page as possible. This is the first time I have actively or more extensively used wikipedia and if I perhaps am having a bit of a rocky start with it. Please forgive me! I think most of my issues or difficulties have involved adding the info box -- which I think I finally figured out. Regardless, thanks so much for your feedback and help!


 * You may not be in a dispute with anyone. However, your repeated submissions of just an infobox have been disruptive.  If you don't understand why an infobox should not be submitted at AFC, please ask at the Teahouse.  If you are trying to build the infobox in order to add it to a draft article on the film, please put it in the draft article on the film.  The issue is not with difficulties involving the infobox.  The issue is with the concept of submitting what is just an infobox as a draft article.  If you don't understand that, please explain at the Teahouse what you are trying to do, and the regulars will advise on how to do what you are trying to do, or whether to do something else.

Orphaned non-free image File:&#34;Kiss Me, Kill Me&#34; movie poster.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:&. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:22, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:"Kiss Me, Kill Me" poster.jpg


A tag has been placed on File:"Kiss Me, Kill Me" poster.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

David Michael Barrett
Hi BlackoutDTLA, and welcome to Wikipedia editing. Collaborative editing is sometimes chaotic, and apologies for editing David Michael Barrett at the same time as you – I'll leave off for now and let you finish the wikilinking, etc.

I thought I'd pass on a hint from many years of WP editing: when I create a new article, I work on it in Notepad until it's pretty well finished, doing quick previews in Wikipedia periodically without saving it. That way I avoid other editors "jumping on" a half-written unreferenced "work in progress" and deleting it before I get a chance to type the rest in. I find this offline approach much better for my sanity (and blood pressure), and I can keep other editors out until I'm happy with the article.

Thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia. I know there seem to be a lot of rules, but hope you soon feel at home here. If you need help with anything, do feel free to drop a note on my talk page. Regards — Hebrides (talk) 21:17, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello BlackoutDTLA, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Bad Actress has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Copyrights. You may also want to review Copy-paste.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 02:58, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from Forbidden: Undocumented and Queer in Rural America. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.
