Thank you for contributing to the article Miss Earth 2021. However, please do not use unreliable sources such as blogs, your own website, websites and publications with a poor reputation for checking the facts or with no editorial oversight, expressing views that are widely acknowledged as extremist, that are promotional in nature, or that rely heavily on rumors and personal opinions, as one of Wikipedia's core policies is that contributions must be verifiable through reliable sources, preferably using inline citations. If you require further assistance, please look at Help:Contents/Editing Wikipedia, or ask at the Teahouse. Thank you. ☆ Bri (talk) 02:25, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
 * If it's not clear from the note above, a person's social media account is not an independent, reliable source for claims they won a pageant. You have added this twice now . Please stop. ☆ Bri (talk) 02:26, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

Disruptive editing
You have been notified about adding unreferenced material in 2021 pageants. Now you are continuing to do it at Miss Earth 2022. This is disruptive editing and can result in a block. Please stop. ☆ Bri (talk) 17:30, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Hello. Are you reading your talkpage? You added unreferenced material again at Miss Earth 2022. Please stop. ☆ Bri (talk) 14:09, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Miss Earth 2022, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. ☆ Bri (talk) 14:30, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

Your editing at Miss World 2022
Your recent edits at Miss World 2022 continue to be disruptive. You have added sources that do not verify the claims/facts added to the article, and self-published sources that may not be used. Please read the WP:RS guidelines before continuing. ☆ Bri (talk) 13:57, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

Stop
You need to address the concerns about your sloppy editing. If you don't, you will be blocked from editing at all. You are creating a lot of work that others must police and clean up after. This isn't acceptable. Please reply before you edit further. Dennis Brown - 2&cent; 22:58, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

 * This is your last warning: stop using unreliable sources and causing disruption. You need to reply.  Otherwise, I will block you for an indefinite period of time.  Again, I won't warn you again.  Your editing is causing more problems than it is solving, even if you don't mean it to.  Dennis Brown - 2&cent; 21:56, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

September 2022
 You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for violations of Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy, as you did at Miss Earth 2022. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:.

 * See my talk page, I was on my way to block for the exact same reason, you just beat me by a few hours. I believe that Ian was given ample opportunity to discuss and learn.  He should read WP:COMMUNICATE.  Dennis Brown - 2&cent; 21:41, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

Recommendation
Ian, I am not an administrator but I have been discussing this stuff with the admins. You probably aren't going to get anywhere until you can describe what's wrong with edits like that you have made in the past. And why using talkpages is part of the normal editing process. ☆ Bri (talk) 18:13, 14 September 2022 (UTC)


 * I don't want to formally respond, because I would have to decline, and 3 declines can get your talk page access removed. I will say that if you don't know what is and isn't a reliable source, you can't guarantee you will only use reliable sources.  In fact, it would guarantee you would fail and get blocked again.  Maybe you need to read a bit and try to understand what is and isn't a reliable source for our purposes here.  WP:RS is a good read, and WP:RSN has an archive that has discussion on what isn't considered reliable.  Dennis Brown - 2&cent; 00:07, 15 September 2022 (UTC)


 * While you are at it, read WP:Communication is required, which I probably have already linked but you didn't bother to read. Dennis Brown - 2&cent; 00:08, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

Hoaxing or just careless?
Were any of the countries you added here actually listed in the sources you used? St. Kitts and Nevis, Malawi, Mali, and Senegal delegates don't appear as far as I can tell, and three of the countries aren't listed at all. ☆ Bri (talk) 19:46, 16 September 2022 (UTC)

Those three countries were listed on the website at the time I did the edit Ian.garcia1 (talk) 23:35, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
