User talk:Hendersonjerry

Hi Hendersonjerry and welcome to wikipedia. Just letting you know why I reverted your edits at List of dates predicted for apocalyptic events. You cannot use another wikipedia article as a reference, and your statements were backed up only using wikipedia articles. If the event is so notable that is has its own wikipedia article you may internally link to the article (have a look at the "future" section of the article and notice how the "2012 phenomenon" is internally linked to, rather than being formatted as a reference with tags) however this is generally only done when the article has being linked to has so many references it is easier to link to the article than list its multiple references. Your entry was only considerably longer than all the other entries on this article. The entries are not meant to be detailed accounts, simply who predicted it and when, and perhaps a line about why they predicted it and what happened as a result. It should not be longer than an average sized paragraph at most.

You may wish to have a read of WP:RS to learn what you can use on wikipedia as a reliable source. Some of the sources that you cannot use include wikipedia or any other wiki, forums, blogs, tabloid magazines and social networking sites such as twitter. If you have any questions let me know. Have a nice day. Freikorp (talk) 23:13, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

I shortened the description (leaving out interesting info) and changed the reference.Hendersonjerry (talk) 13:11, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
