Hello, I'm ReferenceBot. I have automatically detected that an edit performed by you may have introduced errors in referencing. It is as follows:

• On the List of Agatha Christie's Poirot episodes page, your edit caused a broken reference name (help). (Fix | Ask for help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, ReferenceBot (talk) 00:21, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at The Prismatic World Tour. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted or removed.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor then please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive, until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively could result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. —Indian:BIO ^{[ ChitChat ]} 05:37, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I was visiting the article called List of Agatha Christie's Poirot episodes, and I noticed that the cast of characters are deleted from Series 13 and replaced with episode summaries. And now you intend to do the same to the other series from 1-12! Why are you doing this? --Angeldeb82 (talk) 16:10, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates, as you did with Madonna World Tour 2015. Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. This is an automated message from a bot about this edit, where you removed the deletion template from an article before the deletion discussion was complete. If this message is in error, please report it.—^{cyberbot I}_{Talk to my owner:Online} 07:09, 28 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm SNUGGUMS. I noticed that you made a change to an article, 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. Thank you.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Just to let you know, I've reverted your addition of 28-day viewing figures for the most recent season. As all the previous seasons use only 7-day figures (as that's all that the BARB lists), using 28-day figures for one season only distorts the relative viewership for that one season........... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 10:51, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on File:Rebel Heart Tour Poster, from the official Madonna store, July 2015.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Please do not add or change content without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. "Madonnarama" is a fansite and therefore not reliable Snuggums (talk / edits) 13:19, 20 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Whakaoriori. Your recent edit to the page List of New Tricks episodes appears to have added incorrect information, so I have removed it for now. If you believe the information was correct, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. 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. Whakaoriori (talk) 12:00, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Happy Valley (TV series), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Matthew Lewis, Con O'Neill and Katherine Kelly.

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Good for You (song). This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Iknow23 (talk) 02:46, 22 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 17:09, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Kobsters1. Your addition to And Then There Were None (TV series) has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without 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 a cited source. You can read about this at Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia: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. –Dark Cocoa Frosting (talk) 12:35, 24 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Kobsters, I noticed that you added back some episode summaries at List of Mrs. Brown's Boys episodes. The first one, beginning "During a party to celebrate the baptism of Dermot and Maria's triplets" looks a lot like it was copied or closely paraphrased from this source, which is why I removed it originally. In that same edit, I removed content for "Mammy's Inflation", beginning, "Agnes is disappointed with Cathy who has decided to undergo surgery to impress her new boyfriend, Professor Clowne" because it was identical to content found here. In this edit you added back a summary for this episode, but it is verbatim with content found here. I also notice that content you added back for "Mammy's Christamas Punch" can be found here and "Mammy Swings" can be found here.

Do you have any reasonable explanation for why you have restored these potential copyright violations to the article? Copyright violations cannot be tolerated, and if your solution for missing content is to copy it from other sites, that's simply not acceptable. Since you didn't provide any explanation with your edit or participate in the open talk page discussion, your rationale is not clear to me, which is why I'm giving you an opportunity to explain. If you do not provide a rational explanation, I will have to strongly consider interrupting your editing privileges. Thanks. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 21:44, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Cyphoidbomb, I'm sorry about that. I was adding episode descriptions found on IMDB made by users which I thought was un-copyrighted. I did not realise that these users were copying material from the BBC website. Kobsters1 (talk) 22:12, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, regarding this edit, dates still need to be verifiable, so removing references that help with that, isn't a great plan. Episode names and information about director/writers is a bit of a different story, because the primary source, i.e. the episode itself, can be used to glean that information. Original air date, however, is not included in the primary source. Thanks, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:36, 8 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Kobsters, I'm unclear on why you removed references for air dates in this edit. Could you please explain this? As noted directly above, all content must remain verifiable, so unless the links don't work (in which case, adding archives would be a great substitute) I don't see a valid reason for removing the references. Feel free to reply here. Thanks. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 19:58, 23 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Josh Kempin requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.
