Edits on the MonsterVerse

[edit]

Concerning your edits on the MonsterVerse, particularly concerning your "Future" section, it would be best to discuss it on the talk page before adding anything. It would be best to avoid an edit war. Many of the sources you provided don't really add up to what you're citing and a majority of them are rumor based. Rumors are not allowed, please see WP:BALL for Wiki's guidelines concerning rumors. This source that you cited doesn't even confirm that Pacific Rim is joining the MonsterVerse, it's an opinion piece yet you still added it to imply that a Pacific Rim cross over is or may happen. That falls under Wiki's original research guidelines, which is not allowed. Please see WP:OR to learn more about original research. We should only add information that is confirmed. For example, Godzilla vs. Kong is officially happening, that is confirmed, so it's okay for us to add that info to the MonsterVerse but rumors concerning whether Pacific Rim may or may not cross over to the MonsterVerse is not okay because it's not confirmed. It's in violation of wiki guidelines. So again, if you have something that you think might be challenged, take to the talk page so it can be discussed civilly. We're all here to help and contribute after all. Armegon (talk) 07:56, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Control copyright icon Hello Zillerdude, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to James Rhyne Killian 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 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. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:18, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Zillerdude. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Godzilla vs. Kong".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Legacypac (talk) 12:03, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
