Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. However, please do not use unreliable sources such as blogs, your own website, websites and publications with a poor reputation for checking the facts or with no editorial oversight, expressing views that are widely acknowledged as extremist, that are promotional in nature, or that rely heavily on rumors and personal opinions, as one of Wikipedia's core policies is that contributions must be verifiable through reliable sources, preferably using inline citations. If you require further assistance, please look at Help:Menu/Editing Wikipedia, or ask at the Teahouse. Thank you. MrOllie (talk) 19:14, 21 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Very well. That being said, the article should have some mention of the "Grounded video" genre, since they were made as a result of the hatred to the show and Googling Caillou often brings them up as top results. SavagePanda845 (talk) 19:25, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
 * We mention what we can source - find a source that complies with WP:RS and we'll mention it. MrOllie (talk) 19:28, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello SavagePanda845! Your additions to University of Minnesota Old Campus Historic District have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably free and compatible copyright license. Please see Donating copyrighted materials.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 13:26, 1 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Images I upload were personally taken by me. I followed the procedure correctly, and provided the proper copyright statement so I'm not quite sure why you chose to remove it. The image even included the EXIF data. SavagePanda845 (talk) 21:59, 3 October 2023 (UTC)


 * I noticed that you removed my edits, despite them being properly cited and in my own words, making them perfectly valid. Care to explain why? If there's an issue, in which you believe the edit is too similar to the source, then edit it and give the original editor a friendly reminder, don't erase the content entirely. It would also be nice if you gave me an actual example of what edits were problematic, instead of a generic copyright warning message. You can tell by my prior response that I at first thought you were talking about the images I uploaded. Geez Louise. SavagePanda845 (talk) 22:09, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Here is a link to the CopyPatrol report. Click on the iThenticate link to view what was found by the detection service. Sorry, but since there's only a handful of people working on copyright cleanup and a high volume of cases to be assessed each day, discussion of each individual violation is not practical, and neither is rewriting the added content. — Diannaa (talk) 00:04, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Understood, thank you. SavagePanda845 (talk) 13:23, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

Hello. I wanted to let you know that your recent edit(s) to the Jurassic Park (film) plot summary have been removed because they added a significant amount of unnecessary detail. Please avoid excessive detail and high word counts when editing plot summaries/synopses. You may read the plot summary edit guides to learn more about contributing constructively to plot summaries/synopses. There are also specific guidelines for films, musicals, television episodes, anime/manga, novels and non-fiction books. 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. DonIago (talk) 13:45, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Magnolia677. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Malibu, California, 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. Magnolia677 (talk) 11:09, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for July 21
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited 1992 Los Angeles riots, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Los Santos. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
