Hello, I'm C.Fred. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to White ribbon seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. 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. —C.Fred (talk) 23:40, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

Misogyny and mass media
I started a section on the talk page of the article to discuss the changes you want to make. If you're going to remove sourced material from an article you ought to discuss it on the talk page of the article after you get reverted. &mdash; alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 00:11, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

Please, you added your material in twice. Will you talk about it on the article talk page? It certainly doesn't make sense to have it in twice. Why do you have to remove the sourced and cited material to add your new material anyway? &mdash; alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 18:58, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm MusikAnimal. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Misogyny and mass media, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! 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. ''Do not replace cited content with uncited content. Also you may want to review WP:MOS, and don't forget to preview your changes before saving. &mdash; MusikAnimal'' talk 01:08, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

Please discuss changes at the article's talk page
I've reverted your latest edit to Misogyny and mass media because you removed sourced material without an explanation for the removal.

One of the underlying principles of Wikipedia is verifiability, the concept that all material in an article should be backed up by reliable sources. The material you added yesterday was not verifiable: another editor removed it noting the lack of reliable sources. Conversely, the material you deleted today did cite sources.

Each article has a talk page; in the case of the article you've been editing, that's Talk:Misogyny and mass media. Editors working on that page can discuss changes and come to consensus of what should be in the article. If you have a concern with what's presented in the article or a suggestion on what to include, I'd suggest starting discussion there. Make sure to provide the sources that back up your edit. (Sources don't have to be online, but if they are, include links. That way, other editors can find them quicker.)

Also, when editing articles, make sure you provide a edit summary to explain your changes. If there'd been an edit summary on your latest edit explaining why you made it, I might not have reverted it. —C.Fred (talk) 22:36, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm HMSSolent. I noticed that you made an edit to a biography of a living person, Aileen Wuornos, but that you didn’t support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. 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. hmssolent \You rang? ship's log 00:42, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=558211591 your edit] to Femicide may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 ""s. If you have, don't worry, just [ edit the page] again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?action=edit&preload=User:A930913/BBpreload&editintro=User:A930913/BBeditintro&minor=&title=User_talk:A930913&preloadtitle=BracketBot%20-%20&section=new my operator's talk page].

Editing Wikipedia
Hello, Elizabeth1848. Look at the first section on your talk page. What is in that section will help you familiarize yourself with how Wikipedia is supposed to work and therefore give you the knowledge you need to edit this site properly. Because this, this, this and this, edits of yours that I reverted (in the opposite order you added them), are not appropriate edits; that's why I reverted you. The edits about the day unofficially titled "White Ribbon Day" (National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women) that are made to the White Ribbon Day article keep getting reverted because they are not appropriate. For example, that article is about a song; it is not about National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women, which is made clear by the WP:Hatnote placed at the top of that article. So your rant (the rant you inserted into that article, which was also an inappropriate addition to that article) about why such edits to that article keep getting deleted is not true. And in case you chalk my deletion of your edits up to my being male, I note here to you that I am female. Flyer22 (talk) 03:23, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

Your addition to Paul Shanley has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text, or images borrowed from other websites, or printed material without a verifiable license; such additions will be deleted.

Hello Elizabeth1848, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your addition to Paul Shanley 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 a cited source. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also 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.
 * 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 without attribution. If you want to copy 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. Elizium23 (talk) 03:20, 7 August 2013 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Traci Lords, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. The next time you add copyrighted material to Wikipedia, you will be blocked. Nymf (talk) 18:20, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
