Creation of hoax articles
Do not create, add, maintain, insert, or restore hoaxes on Wikipedia. Hoaxes will be caught and marked for deletion shortly after they are created. If you are interested in how accurate Wikipedia is, a more constructive test method would be to try to find inaccurate statements that are already in Wikipedia – and then to correct them if possible. Please do not disrupt Wikipedia. Feel free to take a look at the five pillars of Wikipedia to learn more about this project and how you can contribute constructively. Thank you. --Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 21:58, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for the repeated addition of hoax material to Wikipedia. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice:. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 22:52, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

Please do not reveal too much personally identifiable information on Wikipedia as you did on your userpage (which has now been deleted). I know it's annoying to have your page deleted, but it's for the best. Please don't re-add it.--Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 16:26, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

Final warning
You have already been blocked for the repeated creation of hoax material, both in your userspace and article space. Do you understand why you cannot continue to post your made-up show on Wikipedia? There are many websites that you can use to host this type of information, but including it here will only result in a longer (and possibly permanent) block. --Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 23:13, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

Your addition to Glee (season 5) 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. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images&mdash;you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. You copied an episode summary from another site, which is forbidden on Wikipedia. (It was a fan-based tumblr, which is defacto an unreliable source, but you shouldn't copy from anywhere.) BlueMoonset (talk) 23:07, 8 March 2014 (UTC)

Your contributed article, Ant Farm (2015 Series)


Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Ant Farm (2015 Series). First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – A.N.T. Farm. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at A.N.T. Farm – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Geraldo Perez (talk) 01:51, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

Blocked
Hi there. I've blocked you indefinitely. This doesn't have to be permanent, but you need to improve your contributions before I'm prepared to unblock. Since January you've made three types of contributions: a hoax article about a non-existent TV show (which got you blocked in January), unsourced edits about Disney shows which have always been reverted as being unhelpful, and cut-and-paste content forks of articles like American Dragon(2015 Series) and Ant Farm (2015 Series). None of these are helpful, and other editors have to spend time dealing with them. Thanks for listening, Mackensen (talk) 02:22, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
