An extended welcome
Welcome to Wikipedia. I've added a welcome message to the top of this page that gives a great deal of information about Wikipedia. I hope you find it useful.

Additionally, I hope you don't mind if I share some of my thoughts on starting out as a new editor on Wikipedia: If I could get editors in your situation to follow just one piece of advice, it would be this: Learn Wikipedia by working only on non-contentious topics until you have a feel for the normal editing process and the policies that usually come up when editing casually. You'll find editing to be fun, easy, and rewarding. The rare disputes are resolved quickly and easily.

Working on biographical information about living persons is far more difficult. Wikipedia's Biographies of living persons policy requires strict adherence to multiple content policies, and applies to all information about living persons including talk pages.

If you have a relationship with the topics you want to edit, then you will need to review Wikipedia's Conflict of interest policy, which may require you to disclose your relationship and restrict your editing depending upon how you are affiliated with the subject matter.

Some topic areas within Wikipedia have special editing restrictions that apply to all editors. It's best to avoid these topics until you are extremely familiar with all relevant policies and guidelines.

I hope you find some useful information in all this, and welcome again. --Ronz (talk) 16:09, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

 Hello, I'm Donner60. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Olivia O'Brien, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source 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. Thanks. Donner60 (talk) 02:28, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

 Please do not add or significantly change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Donner60 (talk) 02:30, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

 Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia by deliberately introducing incorrect information, as you did with this edit to Eden (musician), you may be blocked from editing. Donner60 (talk) 02:32, 2 August 2018 (UTC)


 * I am striking these messages because your edits were in good faith. When dealing with living persons, citations are needed under the biography guidelines when relatives are added to the article. If these persons are not publicly identified, it may violate their privacy to be named. Also, many falsely claimed (or erroneous) names have been added to articles over time so care must be taken about those things. As for Eden, your edit that he was raised in Hong Kong appears to contradict the quote from him that he grew up in London.


 * You have above the template with helpful Wikipedia page links so I will not add my own version of the links which I often leave as further explanation. Happy editing. Donner60 (talk) 03:01, 3 August 2018 (UTC)

Image upload
This is the reply I put on my talk page. "Have you tried Upload wizard? From your message, my guess would be that you need to show that the copyright has been released, in whole or for your upload. You will probably need to be able to cite some public source (Facebook or something showing the creative commons license or whatever - though Facebook is not considered a reliable source, something like this from a person's Facebook page might be good enough). Again, I can't be sure, but my guess is that something else needs to be cited. The upload form has a few boxes where it seems that some sort of reference can be provided. I am sorry to be a little vague but I have not used this myself and have only referred to it a few times. See also Images which has links to other helpful pages such as Uploading images."

Please be sure to sign messages with four tildes. This provides not only your user name but a link back to your talk page. Thanks. Donner60 (talk) 19:47, 3 August 2018 (UTC)

Famousbirthdays.com as a source
Hi Lovelyliora123. I noticed that you recently used famousbirthdays.com as a source for information in a biography article, Olivia O'Brien. Please note that there is general consensus that famousbirthdays.com does not meet the reliable sourcing criteria for the inclusion of personal information in such articles. (See Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_153). If you disagree, let's discuss it. Thanks. --Ronz (talk) 16:11, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

oh okay no worries, i wasn't sure what was or wasn't. still learning lol not sure how this all works yet. thanks for letting me know

what would be considered a reliable source? i just created a page for an artist i really like and for her i cited Genius, another wikipedia page, york region newspaper, an interview she had done with a man named Rudy Blair, the globe and mail, toronto star, an independent music blog called the old school project, vevo, youtube and elicit magazine. i am still looking for a way to cite her playlist follower count. she sent me a screenshot of the number she is on 160 playlist with 600,000 reach. is there any way to cite this, and if there isn't, should i just remove it all together (even if it is one of the more impressive things about her that i believe qualify her for the page?)

 * I don't pay enough attention to social media stats to know which sources are reliable, and what information is considered important or otherwise deserves some mention. News coverage from a large, non-specialty publisher is usually the best in such situations. The welcome message at the top of this page has many links to locations where you can ask for help. --Ronz (talk) 18:02, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
