Information icon Hello, I'm Wallyfromdilbert. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, The Dark Tower (2017 film), 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. – wallyfromdilbert (talk) 20:54, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

May 2020[edit]

Information icon Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Draft:Dark fantasy into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. Robert McClenon (talk) 18:22, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Please do not add or change content, as you did at The Dark Tower (2017 film), without citing a reliable source.

Avoiding an edit war[edit]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on End of Days (film); that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 23:04, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Verifiability is required[edit]

Warning icon Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's no original research policy by adding your personal analysis or synthesis into articles, you may be blocked from editing. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 23:11, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
