Hello, I'm Cyphoidbomb. I noticed that you made one or more changes to an article, Pearl V Puri, 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! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. ''Diffs: Personal information like a subject's birth date and birth place and birth name *must* be sourced, lest we potentially violate the subject's privacy. Additionally, we already have the subject's Twitter page linked in the External links section. We don't need the subject's Instagram page in addition to that. We're not here to promote Pearl V Puri's social media.'' Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:45, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Re: these changes, you need to find reliable published source with an established reputation for fact-checking and accuracy, not a random blog you found. See WP:ICTF for a general list of sites considered reliable and unreliable in the context of Indian entertainment. Blogs are virtually never acceptable, as anyone can start a blog or random website and publish whatever they want. For all you know, that blog copied some of the content from this 2015 version of the article. Thank you. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 03:00, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

DO NOT COPY
DO NOT COPY is a basic concept in academia that most people are taught at an early age. The massive plot content you added at Naagin (TV series) in this edit was copied from this source. This is absolutely unacceptable. Copying is intellectually dishonest and lazy, and constitutes intellectual theft. Plagiarism and copyright violations will not be tolerated at Wikipedia. If you violate another copyright, your editing privileges will be revoked, so be very careful moving forward. All prose content must be written from scratch in your own words. If that is not something you are capable of, you might consider editing at a Wikipedia in your native tongue. Note also that per MOS:TV, plot summaries should not exceed 500 words for a season. Excessive plot summaries may constitute a derivative work, which is yet another copyright concern. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:19, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

Referencing
Hi there, re: this, this is not how we add references to an article. References should be placed directly after the sentence the reference is intended to support. When you add the references properly and then save your changes, the references will automatically be presented in the References section. See Referencing for Beginners. Thank you, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:57, 21 July 2018 (UTC)
