Hello, I'm MrX. I noticed that you made a change to an article, 2017 Manchester Arena bombing, 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! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. ''Regarding this. ISIS is not a reliable source. Please wait for third party sources to define the bombing as Islamic terrorism before adding this template.'' - MrX 22:01, 23 May 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello TonyaJaneMelbourne, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to List of thwarted Islamist terrorist attacks have been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.


 * 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. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Copyrights. You may also want to review Copy-paste.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
 * 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 can, but please follow the steps in Copying within Wikipedia.

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, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 02:57, 8 August 2017 (UTC)

Islamic terrorism in Europe (2014–present)
Hi, I see you re-added the 2017 Barcelona attack to Islamic terrorism in Europe (2014–present) - do you have any sources which confirm this is an Islamic terrorist incident? So far, nothing has been confirmed -- There'sNoTime (to explain) 19:52, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

WP:Don't jump the gun
Based on some of your recent edits, I recommend that you read this essay, in particular the Shootings and terrorism subsection. TompaDompa (talk) 15:21, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
