Hello, I'm AlphonseOop. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Autofiction, 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 the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AlphonseOop (talk • contribs) 05:48, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi AlphonseOop. Thank you for noticing that I didn't provide a reliable source. That was a mistake. I've added the source now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Timeismotion (talk • contribs) 18:35, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

A lengthy welcome
Hi Timeismotion. Welcome to Wikipedia. I've added a welcome message to the top of this page that gives a great deal of information about Wikipedia. I hope you find it useful.

Additionally, I hope you don't mind if I share some of my thoughts on starting out as a new editor on Wikipedia: If I could get editors in your situation to follow just one piece of advice, it would be this: Learn Wikipedia by working only on non-contentious topics until you have a feel for the normal editing process and the policies that usually come up when editing casually. You'll find editing to be fun, easy, and rewarding. The rare disputes are resolved quickly and easily in collaboration.

Working on biographical information about living persons is far more difficult. Wikipedia's Biographies of living persons policy requires strict adherence to multiple content policies, and applies to all information about living persons including talk pages.

If you have a relationship with the topics you want to edit, then you will need to review Wikipedia's Conflict of interest policy, which may require you to disclose your relationship and restrict your editing depending upon how you are affiliated with the subject matter. Regardless, editing in a manner that promotes an entity or viewpoint over others can appear to be detrimental to the purpose of Wikipedia and the neutrality required in articles.

Some topic areas within Wikipedia have special editing restrictions that apply to all editors. It's best to avoid these topics until you are extremely familiar with all relevant policies and guidelines.

If you work from reliable, independent sources, you shouldn't go far wrong. WP:RSP and WP:RSN are helpful in determining if a source is reliable.

If you find yourself in a disagreement with another editor, it's best to discuss the matter on the relevant talk page.

I hope you find some useful information in all this, and welcome again. --Hipal (talk) 03:04, 27 June 2021 (UTC)

Steven M. Greer
Have you read Reliable sources? If you haven't, you should, because repeatedly adding much the same content to the Greer article, while citing sources that clearly don't meet the guideline isn't going to work. I suggest you read the guideline, and then discuss this on the article talk page if you want to proceed further. AndyTheGrump (talk) 20:18, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi AndyTheGrump. Sorry about that. I will read the "reliable sources." I shouldn't have assumed that the links I tried were reliable. Thanks for the link.Timeismotion (talk) 23:11, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Steven M. Greer shows that you have been engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you do not violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

I'm aware that you're new and may not understand the encyclopedia's policies. The above notification is to make you aware it's very important to use the article's Talk page to discuss with other users what it is you're trying to do. Repeatedly adding the same material when your edits have been reverted can lead to a possible block. Regards, - LuckyLouie (talk) 01:05, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

Tao Lin
Hi How goes it? I notice your creating bareurl references, which are really poor. It is much better to create full references. Please take a look at WP:REFB to get started. It is expected for an editor to full references. Bare urls just create double work, for everybody else. Thanks.  scope_creep Talk  23:08, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for November 20
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Hongshan culture, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Old Europe. 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.)

See also the thread at WP:RSN. And take note that repeated citation of Tao Lin in inappropriate articles is liable to result in further questions about a conflict of interest. AndyTheGrump (talk) 16:12, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
