Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to BMW 5 Series, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. swa q  16:54, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Reliable sources
Hi. I've looked through your contributions and noticed that you tend to add a lot of speculative info to car articles. Note that there is always a LOT of speculation in the automotive industry, with testing of disguised vehicles and "spy" snapshots the order of the day. However the majority of these are mere test beds and will never see the light of day in production. In addition, it is not known for certain which car under disguise is being tested. Thus to report on them in an article about a particular car gives them undue weight in relation to their importance to the car as a whole. Also, you very rarely add links to reliable sources indicating where the information is coming from. Note that any unreferenced info that is added to an article can and probably will be removed. It is up to the editor who is adding the info to provide a reference (e.g. a link to a website). I also notice that you never use edit summaries. It is considered extremely helpful and courteous to other editors to provide a summary of the changes you've made to an article.

In combination, the addition of speculative info without any references, and without providing any edit summary, is often the hallmark of vandalism and your edits are likely to be (mistakenly) identified as such. It is possible that your edits will simply be reverted and all your hard work undone. This would be unfortunate in cases where the information is genuinely useful to the article. In future please first consider whether the speculative info on future models and designs is something that is absolutely needed in a particular article. If so then please provide a RELIABLE reference (e.g. from a well-known and well-respected automotive magazine or website, or straight from the manufacturer) at the same time as adding the information to the article. Also, please use edit summaries to let other editors know what changes you are making to the article. If you need any help whatsoever feel free to respond to this post by typing on below, I will check back here to see if you need any assistance. Zunaid 18:53, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Please do not add unsourced or original content, as you did to Jaguar XJ. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. swa q  17:56, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Suspected sock puppet case
You have been accused of sockpuppetry, which means that someone suspects you of using multiple Wikipedia accounts for prohibited purposes. Please make yourself familiar with the notes for the suspect, then respond to the evidence at Suspected sock puppets/Wikipersonwiki. Thank you. swa q  22:34, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
