Hello, I'm CLCStudent. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! CLCStudent (talk) 11:55, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I'm IceWelder. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Please do not add or change content without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. IceWelder &#91; &#9993; &#93; 11:23, 27 March 2020 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Eurovision Song Contest 2020, you may be blocked from editing. IceWelder &#91; &#9993; &#93; 19:15, 30 March 2020 (UTC)

Re: Your email
Hello MICKEYSTAMATIOU. In a recent email, you asked how your edits constituted vandalism. As you can see above, you have been given four warnings, three for adding unsourced content and one for vandalism. Those relating to the addition of unsourced content have come in response to content that you added without providing a reliable source that confirmed the new claim. As Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, we have to provide readers with the sources we get our information from in order to be verifiable.

At least in one instance I can recall (and I was not the only one to revert unsourced edits of yours), you claimed that Sweden confirmed its participation for ESC 2021. You did not add a source, nor could any other editor find a source that explicitly stated this, leading to the assumption that you added the claim speculatively. As for vandalism, you added a statement that "Coronavirus" was the winner of ESC 2020. Some might consider this humorous, but it defeats the purpose of a constructive encyclopedia and, frankly, just wastes other editors' time, being purely disruptive.

People who commit either offense very frequently tend to disregard Wikipedia's function as an encyclopedia and might thus be barred from editing. You are invited to continue editing Wikipedia, but keeping in mind our five pillars. No one would want you to lose your editing privileges if you are a constructive contributor on the site. You can also check out the tutorial for further information or correspond with more experienced editors if you need specific advice. Regards, IceWelder  &#91; &#9993; &#93; 10:24, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi again. You can find out how to add sources in the tutorial I linked, under the tab "Citing sources". You can also use the sandbox to perform test edits before tackling issues in existing articles. Lastly, you can also just edit this section of the talk page to post a reply; there is no need to send me an email each time you have a question. The only thing different here is the use of indentation (achieved by incrementally adding  in front of your message) and signatures (achieved by adding   at the end of your message). Regards,  IceWelder  &#91; &#9993; &#93; 13:30, 1 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Okay, thank you very much. I will check it out.MICKEYSTAMATIOU (talk) 13:37, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi IceWelder. I changed the ESC 2021 page saying that Sweden WILL participate in 2021, this time with a source. Thank you for notifying me about the sources. Hoping you are well, MICKEYSTAMATIOU (talk) 14:04, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Blaze Wolf. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Eurovision Song Contest 2023, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 14:47, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
