This is your Talk page where you can receive messages from other Wikipedians and discuss things with them. At the end of your messages you must put your signature by signing with four ~~~~ (just as I have done) or by pressing the button in the editor bar as shown here in the picture. By the way, you don't need to sign edits that you make in the articles themselves as those messages will be deleted. Another valuable page that may provide information and assistance is User:Persian Poet Gal/"How-To" Guide to Wikipedia. My name is Buster7. If you have any questions or face any initial hurdles, feel free to contact me on my talk page and I will do what I can to assist or give you guidance and contact information. Good Luck editing! | |||

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, but at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Wood wasp, did not appear to be constructive and has been automatically reverted (undone) by an automated computer program called ClueBot NG.
- Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Note that human editors do monitor recent changes to Wikipedia articles, and administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism.
- ClueBot NG makes very few mistakes, but it does happen. If you believe the change you made should not have been considered as unconstructive, please read about it, report it here, remove this warning from your talk page, and then make the edit again.
- If you need help, please see our help pages, and if you can't find what you are looking for there, please feel free to place "
{{helpme}}" on your talk page and someone will drop by to help. - The following is the log entry regarding this warning: Wood wasp was changed by SplendidPerformance (u) (t) ANN scored at 0.863528 on 2012-05-07T05:07:53+00:00 . Thank you. ClueBot NG (talk) 05:07, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

[edit]Please stop "adding refs" to the lead sentences of film articles. All you're doing is adding dozens of yahoo links to articles. The refs you're adding don't appear to be directly supporting any specific statements. References don't belong in lead sentences anyway, they belong in article bodies. Adding the same types of links (to the same parent site) across dozens of articles like this is a red flag for spam. --IllaZilla (talk) 06:54, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
Again, please stop. While the addition of references to directly support statements in articles is certainly welcome, it's obvious that's not what you're doing. You're indiscriminately adding links to the same websites systematically across the lead sentences of every film article on Wikipedia. This is not appropriate, and can be construed as disruptive. If you don't stops this behavior, I will have little choice but to report it. --IllaZilla (talk) 07:03, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
To clarify: I'm assuming good faith on your part. As I said, the addition of references to directly support statements in articles is always welcome. However, citations generally belong in the article body, not the lead. Also, instead of going alphabetically through all of WP's film articles adding the same types of links (yahoo movies & rotten tomatoes), you should read the articles first to see what (if anything) in them needs sourcing, and apply the sources where appropriate to support content. Take your edits to Borat for example: We don't need a reference to Yahoo movies in the lead sentence. The only things to verify in that sentence are the title, year, and director, which are already verified in the 100+ citations the article already carries. You also added a citation to Rotten Tomatoes, when the article already has such a citation in the "Reception" section. This is what makes it seem that your edits are indiscriminate, that you're not really "adding references", but adding links, which is a form of spam. Because you've done this across dozens of articles, I've performed a number of reverts. Please be more discriminate in what you're doing, and add references where appropriate to directly support article content. --IllaZilla (talk) 07:22, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

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.
