Thank you for contributing to the article François Duvalier. 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. Kuru  (talk)  11:59, 24 May 2022 (UTC)


 * @Kuru Noted. Thank you Sir Lebron jay (talk) 12:32, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Again here and here. These sites are mirrors of Wikipedia content and notes that on the page. Also, please don't use anything by 'betascript" publishing - please note the "content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia" in the book's description.

 * Hi A reliable source are those with a reputation for fact checking and accuracy, these sources must be verifiable making sure that all majority and significant minority views that have appeared in those sources are covered. The best sources have a professional structure for checking or analyzing facts and arguments. For example, in the article Imo Awka Festival in the second citation needed tag, after my research, i feel that this reference https://www.sunnewsonline.com/egwu-imoka-putting-awka-on-festival-map/  is ok to fit in there.

Please go through and I hope to hear from you.
 * You seem to be mixing together several policies. Reliable sources themselves don't have to be verifiable; content has to be verifiable.  Reliable sources also don't have to make any special effort to be unbiased; Wikipedia editors do.  Finally, you're copy-pasting text directly from Wikipedia policies instead of using your own words.  The reason I asked you to use your own words was for you to demonstrate your understanding of the policies.  I suggest you try again but this time put your answer in an unblock request.

 * Thank you so much for unblocking me. Thanks to your clarity gotten which will aid me to edit better now with my vivid understanding of reliable sources.

Blocked
Despite clear warnings, you've added another link to a mirror [ https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Asamang_Tamfoe&diff=prev&oldid=1090280746 here]; this is the exact same site you were warned about before. Additionally, you've added a tremendous number of bookseller sites to articles about authors in some odd attempt to document their books. A simple ISBN template or worldcat link suffice - we don't need to spam out links to amazon or ebay. I know you're in some kind of incentivized contest, but you must slow down and carefullly evaluate each source you add. When you see people revert your edits, you need to stop and find out why. I've blocked this account until you can outline your understanding of reliable sourcing. Kuru  (talk)  14:15, 29 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Thank you for bringing this to my notice. I am fully aware of the sites you warned me about earlier, I must have used this sites in error. I'll read through and make necessary corrections and I will do better in the future as I go back to read on the reliable sources that can be used in Wikipedia Articles. I understand that reliable sourcing involves attaching links that are trusted to provide enough and quality information about the article. Lebron jay (talk) 14:59, 29 May 2022 (UTC)


 * It's taking a long time to clean up the promotional/bookseller links you've added. I'll circle back here once I've reviewed every article. In some cases, it's going to take too long to sift through all of the garbage, so I've just rolled the article back to the state it was in before your additions. Sorry - this is just a bit of a mess.

 * Hi Thanks for all you do to ensure users do the right thing. I plead that you unblock Lebron jay. I'm sorry for all inconveniences. Due to the constant warnings and blocks, we have decided to withdraw from editing Wikipedia for #1Lib1Ref editathon because if our members/users are yet to understand what  Wikipedia's reliable source is all about, then there's no need to edit/add citations now or in the future. Please reconsider. Thanks! Olugold (talk) 16:51, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

I am sorry for all the inconveniences caused and promise it won't repeat itself. Lebron jay (talk) 15:37, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm glad to hear that; since I've had to spend hours cleaning this up, will you please outline how you will approach sourcing in the future? Or was your only motivation to contribute the contest that Olugold is alluding to?  Kuru   (talk)  15:18, 30 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Good day I have been contributing to Wikimedia projects not because of any contest but because of my interest in taking part in Wikimedian activities and helping the community. I have already pulled out of the contest that Olugold previously referred to. Even if there is no contest, I would hope to keep editing Wikipedia in the future.I have had series of trainings and resources as a new user. I will make sure I go through the links, resources and hope to be better in the future. As a new user in my learning process, all my experiences here are part of the learning process. Olugold has agreed to re-train all the participants and hope to get better after the training. For now, i am withdrawing from editing the English Wikipedia. Lebron jay (talk) 15:47, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Your definition of reliable source is not correct.. Deepfriedokra (talk) 18:08, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
