Hello, I'm ScrapIronIV. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person   on Samuel Witwer, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you!  Scr ★ pIron IV 21:00, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Doniago. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, List of films featuring time loops, 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 the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. DonIago (talk) 23:51, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

Popular culture addition on Polybius (urban legend)
Per MOS:POPCULT, {[tq|A source should cover the subject's cultural impact in some depth; it should not be a source that merely mentions the subject's appearance in a movie, song, television show, or other cultural item.}} The source you provided merely verifies that it is shown in the film, it provides no context or goes into any detail as to its cultural impact or relevance. That film needs a better source supporting its addition or it should and will be removed. - Aoidh (talk) 23:27, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
