Hello, I'm Materialscientist. 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! Materialscientist (talk) 06:59, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living (or recently deceased) persons. Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 07:58, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

Blocked
I've blocked because all your edits seem like just nonsense edit warring with people. I can't even figure out why you repeatedly insisted on edits at Marian Rivera like this over how her name in hidden comments should be written (and I'm not even mentioning the fact that you're changing her gender for some reason). Edit warring over the formats of the dates are inappropriate and meaningless. Any of these are appropriate formats for the dates. Do not fight about this about we had major arguments about these kinds of fighting and the general rule we follow is: leave the formatting the way you found it unless you have a very good reason to change it. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 10:27, 29 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Can you please tell me why were you blocked? Also, what would have been a better way to handle your dispute with Materialscientist than this comment? BOLD, revert, discuss cycle should help. To any other admins, feel free to unblock the user, no need to discuss it with me as I think Rmdeleon2003 was over-enthusiatic but I understand the Spanish naming desires. As for Tom Rodriguez, just a warning but for living people in particular, we ask that you provide the sources that confirm that what you are saying is true: whether or not this is his real name; without any sources, there's no way to know if you're telling the truth or making it up and over time that never gets resolved and that's not good for anyone. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 11:10, 29 July 2015 (UTC)


 * the reason i was blocked is edit war over format of dates and text. i should have left materialscientist's revision as is instead of undoing it. Rmdeleon2003 (talk) 04:08, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Actually, no you wouldn't have to do that. You should have discussed it with materialscientist, either on his user talk page or on the article talk page. No one expects you to know everything here because that's not fair. I added the welcome note up top which has some links so you can get more familiar around here. Have fun editing! -- Ricky81682 (talk) 04:15, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

Please don't use IMDB for referencing biography details. See WP:BLP and WP:QUESTIONABLE. Materialscientist (talk) 06:55, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

Edit summaries
I have noticed that you often edit without an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This is considered an important guideline in Wikipedia. Even a short summary is better than no summary. An edit summary is even more important if you delete any text; otherwise, people may think you're being sneaky. Also, mentioning one change but not another one can be misleading to someone who finds the other one more important; add "and misc." to cover the other change(s). Thanks!

Enrique Gil
No source in his article (a clearly cited one, at least) stated that Gil has Spanish citizenship, whether he was born in Spain or had lived in Spain. However, a source does state that Gil has Spanish roots, inferring that he has Spanish ethnicity. With this being said, it is more appropriate to list his Spanish roots under the infobox's "ethnicity" parameter (assuming it is relevant) rather than the "nationality" parameter. Also, as per MOS:FLAGBIO, flags in infoboxes are discouraged, which means that we do not want to see them as much as possible. So please do not re-add these.
