Thank you for editing Wikipedia. Your edit worked, and it has been reverted or removed because it lacked a source and you seem to be advertising. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Dismas |(talk) 21:48, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
 * It is noteworthy when she started but you have no reliable source which states it. We're taking your word for it, essentially.  And since this is the internet, nobody knows for certain who you really are.  You may want to have a look at the policy on original research as well as WP:OTRS to prove you are who you say you are.

 * See WP:OTRS to prove who you are. I've never needed to use the system myself, so I'm unsure about the actual procedure but I think it involves emailing the people who actually run Wikipedia, instead of a volunteer such as myself.
 * And please, stop using the "email this user" link. You can just leave a message on my talk page like I've been doing here.  This way, both ends of our conversation will be available to anyone who wants to see them.  And it is the usual method of conversation here.

Welcome
Hello, Mikenastyxxx, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and have been reverted. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.

There is a page about the verifiability policy that explains the policy in greater detail, and another that offers tips on the proper ways of citing sources. If you are stuck and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on. Again, welcome! Patman21 (talk) 00:15, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Re: Interested in Updating Adult Video Actresses
Basically, think of this like the papers you probably had to write for school. Information has to be backed up by a reliable source (see WP:RS). So you could update the info as long as you credited a trade publication or some other news source or reference material. Things like blogs, the Internet Movie Database, or other wikis don't count as "reliable" since the average Joe on the street can send in info to IMDb or a wiki or just create info in the case of a blog. Or, again, you could maybe go through the OTRS system (see WP:OTRS) and prove that you are knowledgeable enough about these things that we can just sort of take your word for it. As I said though, I don't know that much about the OTRS deal, so you might do better asking at one of the addresses that is provided on that page or at the Wikipedia Help Desk.
