Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Simon Quarterman, you may be blocked from editing. Eyesnore (talk) 06:03, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
 * No, these edits are not vandalism, which entails a deliberate attempt to disrupt Wikipedia. For a new editor, this is overkill--certainly jumping to a level-3 warning is not validated. But Quarterwoman, you'd do well to have a look at the links in the welcome template I posted for you to become acquainted with our guidelines. Also please leave edit summaries explaining your edits. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 06:05, 4 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Apologies for any perceived disruption- attempting to correct misinformation on my own bio page. I'll have a look at the guidelines.   (Quarterwoman (talk) 06:15, 4 January 2013 (UTC))
 * No problem. But--if this is you, then you probably shouldn't be editing it... The most important thing here is to add information that's based on reliable sources (see WP:RS). This is the biography of a living person, covered by our WP:BLP policy, and we have to be stricter there. So, that tag that said there's only info from the IMDB and not from other sources, is perfectly valid until more references are added (the IMDB does not count as a reliable source for things like date of birth and what not). Good luck, and let us know if we can help, by typing on this page, your talk page. Drmies (talk) 06:22, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
 * All of my edits have since been removed, and replaced with the previously posted information (which isn't completely valid or current). Everything in the edit I made was supported by a reference, so let me know if there was a specific misstep that I made and can avoid this time in trying again.  Thanks.  {{help me]] Quarterwoman (talk) 06:37, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I see that Deadline article, yes--it's fine to add that, but much of what you removed was formatting which is necessary for a couple of things, like categorization. I suppose you can remove incorrect information, but it's best to leave the rest alone--categories, section headings, tags, etc. Drmies (talk) 06:41, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks so much for your help. Hope I edited the correct way the second time around, didn't mean to delete categories - again, sorry for the trouble.
