Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions.

Currently, you are editing without a username. You can continue to do so, as you are not required to log in to Wikipedia to read and edit articles; however, logging in will result in a username being shown instead of your IP address (yours is 208.47.88.133). Logging in does not require any personal details. There are many other benefits for logging in to Wikipedia. For now, if you are stuck, you can type {{helpme}} on this page and an experienced Wikipedian will be around to answer any questions you may have.

Please note these points:

  • Please respect others' copyrights; do not copy and paste the contents from webpages directly.
  • Please use a neutral point of view when editing articles; this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
  • If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
  • Do not add unreasonable contents into any articles, such as: copyrighted text, advertisement messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Both adding such unreasonable information and editing articles maliciously are considered vandalism.

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, ask me on my Talk page. I will answer your questions as far as I can! Thank you again for contributing to Wikipedia. Kukini 19:16, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please cite sources

  1. Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Eva Le Gallienne, but we regretfully cannot accept original research. Please find and add a reliable citation to your recent edit so we can verify your work. Uncited information may be removed at any time. Thanks for your efforts, and happy editing! Can't sleep, clown will eat me 16:48, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

ok


Please refrain from adding nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to Ezra Pound. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Stumps 14:03, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

I removed the same material about Pound from your revisions to the article about H.D., as well as your links to personal websites -these are not allowed by Wikipedia. Devil Doll 16:29, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm curious, Devil Doll, if these are verified sources, why would you remove them. It is obvious you are a fan of Pound. But should you not be a fan of who he was, as a whole, instead of who you wish him to be? The involvement between Pound, H. D., and Frances Gregg is documented as fact, and was recorded as such on his bio, with the link verifying it pasted. For me it is no problem, I do not live or die by what is said on this site, remove it if it makes you feel better. However, it is a shame that although I'm sure many people add information that is not verified, therefore corrupting the site...The reverse also seems to be true, when people like you remove information supported as fact simply because it sheds a different light than they prefer on one of their heros.

Response:

Personal websites are not verified sources and often contain all kinds of rumours from dubious publications. In particular these sites that out celebrities often rely on material that is about as reliable as Kenneth Anger's "Hollywood Babylon." If you want to credibly state that Pound was bisexual, make a direct reference to a legitimate biography. Devil Doll 21:13, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pamela Harriman photo

If you want to add a photo to the Pamela Harriman article, please refer to the instructions that can be found here: WP:IMAGE, and be aware of possible copyright issues. --mtz206 18:42, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Ok. I was under the understanding that I could link it to a seperate internet link. I must have been mistaken. Thank you.

No problem. Also, please consider creating an account and signing your comments. --mtz206 19:05, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Uncited and Unsourced Information.

Please refrain from adding uncited and unsourced information into Wikipedia articles, as you have repeatedly done in the bios of so many early American actresses allegedly having romatic relationships with Alla Nazimova. ExRat 03:51, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unverified Information about Edith Wharton Removed

The information you added about Edith Wharton being a bisexual has been removed. Repeatedly adding unverified material amounts to vandalism. Devil Doll 00:13, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

The information you added about Edith Wharton's bisexuality has been removed for the second time. Please stop vandalizing this and other articles--you have been politely reminded over and over again not to add unverified material. Devil Doll 04:49, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lola Montez

Your most recent edit to Lola Montez was rather POV, and I have since reverted it. I thank you for the time that you have put into the article, but all contributions must fall in line with Wikipedia's policies. Two other points: please regard the advice of previous conversations, and refrain from placings links to personal websites on Wikipedia pages; also, please consider using the "show preview" button in the future, rather than saving every small edit, as this tends to clog up the page history and the "recent changes" page. Thank you for your work! Burndownthedisco talk 15:19, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Maybe you can help me, Burndownthedisco..I really enjoy this era, and research it thoroughly. After finding confirmation of what changes I make, I paste them along with the changes. I tend to get banged pretty often, but it is not by my choice. Maybe I do not understand, completely, how things work. What I consider confirmed information, maybe is not. I DO NOT intend on vandalising, or anything like that. I just thoroughly enjoy researching this era in time, and want to do the best job I can do to make this a better more informative site. Any advice would be greatly apprectiated, before I end up on the hit-list from other wikia's.

I understand, and I certainly commend your enthusiasm in the area! I'm not the best person to ask on authentication issues; however, Wikipedia's help page should give you sufficient information to tell you what is an acceptable source to cite and what is not. Additionally the page on Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy might be of interest. As long as you continue to make good-faith, well-cited edits, I'm sure you will remain a member in good standing in the Wikipedia community (although, as other have, I would recommend that you register a username). Thank you again for your contributions to Wikipedia! Burndownthedisco talk 15:46, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Well, I have no problems with anything I place being removed, as long as they notice that I always do place a reference, meaning I made the change in good faith. I will, however, try to become more in-tune with the proper ways in which to make these changes. Thank you for your much needed advice.

[edit] Louise de Kérouaille

Please do not remove content from Wikipedia; it is considered vandalism. If you want to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Chrisd87 16:13, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

I have reverted a recent edit you made to the article Anne Boleyn. You did not provide an edit summary, and I could not determine whether the edit was vandalism or a constructive contribution. In the future, please use edit summaries. A link to the edit I have reverted can be found here: link. If you believe this edit should not have been reverted, please contact me. Xyrael T 19:15, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, as you did to Marie Duplessis, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. A link to the edit I have reverted can be found here: link. If you believe this edit should not have been reverted, please contact me. Pilot|guy (roger that) 19:48, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Hey Pilotguy, just (exactly) WHAT do you think pimp means? If her father began acting as her pimp at age 12, it serves to reason that SHE began working as a prostitute AT AGE 12. All I did was word it in a more understandable way, articulating it more directly. So take it out, leave it in, do whatever YOU think is needed. As for being blocked, it would be very sad if THIS SITE blocks people over something like that. Get a grip, and work a little on your definitions in the process.

[edit] Vandalism

This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize a page, as you did to Abi Titmuss, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. --Yamla 17:46, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

HOW is it vandalism when these quotes are STRAIGHT OFF AN INTERVIEW? With the link pasted? I swear, I cannot for the life of me figure out where that thought process comes from. And let me tell you this, bud, you don't WARN me. I'm not some child that you and your pocket protector can just ignore. I do legitimate research, I do not place anything anywhere that I have not found through due process, and that I cannot back up with THE LINK where it was found. I don't appreciate you threatening me in such a manner. I have not vandalized ANYTHING. Nor would I. Change it back to whatever you like....But it was always my assumption that Wikipedia expected accuracy in it's articles, not just one persons view. Accuracy is researched, pasted links to support whatever is written. I DID THAT. I don't add rumors, I add what is on legitimate internet sites ir interviews, etc. Yamla, don't you EVER threaten me again in any way. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 208.47.88.133 (talkcontribs).

Did you check out your changes using the preview feature? That is not how you add images. Note, though, that we cannot add those images to the Wikipedia anyway due to copyright. Additionally, warning you with a test template is not considered a personal attack. Please see WP:NPA. --Yamla 18:00, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
You have been blocked for 24 hours for continuing to add "citations" that are actually links to images on other sites. --Yamla 18:05, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
I see you did not learn your lesson. 48 hours. --Yamla 01:51, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks Yamla. Always nice to see someone not letting their power go to their head. Images that are freely posted on the internet are considered PUBLIC DOMAIN. We're not talking about images that are pornographic, these are simply photos of these personalities to which the article refers. When you can pull up images of these people on a public internet site, it is not vandalism, nor was it meant to be vandalism by me. It WAS a personal attack, by you against me. Block me, but I will continue to be what I deem a valuable resource to Wikipedia. It's a hobby of mine, I enjoy it, and I DO NOT vandalize, I research, I read, I write and paste.

This is simply incorrect. Publishing something online does not convert it to public domain. This is one reason why many websites have a "terms of use" and/or a copyright notice at the bottom, though this is not required for the works to be protected by copyright. I encourage you to read WP:COPY, [[WP:FAIR], and WP:PD. --Yamla 19:53, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, as you did to June Marlowe, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. A link to the edit I have reverted can be found here: link. If you believe this edit should not have been reverted, please contact me. Waggers 19:25, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] No copying

Please don't copy information into Wikipedia from other websites, unless that text is in the public domain. -Will Beback 01:42, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bonnie Parker comment removed

Once again a comment of yours which is original research and opinion is removed. You cannot put a comment in that Bonnie Parker was "sexually charged." Don't you have anything better to do than vandalize wikipedia? old windy bear 15:15, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Hey Old windy bear...Actually, yea, I do have other things to do. I do have a real job. But on my free-time, I read. Anyone who has EVER read anything about Bonnie Parker would say that "sexually charged" is the least that could have been said about her. I was reading it on a link that day, but just forgot to paste the link I guess. That was my mistake. But then again, it doesn't matter, you caught it, and it's no big deal. From here on in, I guess I'll just read the often faulty and erroneous information placed on Wikipedia. You and your fellow pocket-protector buddies have singled me out, so I guess that gives you a target to repeatedly attack. Here's the deal, old windy bear, and listen very closley..In one weeks time I do more to accurately repair and update information on this site than all of you put together. I'm careful, generally, and only occassionally do I slip up and place something that cannot be verified, usually because I'm in a hurry. When I do slip up, I'm hit with a barrage of insults and threats from you and your buddies, who obviously are of the pen is mightier than the sword sort, and who should never have the nerve to ask ME if I don't have something better to do..Good God, hey kettle, I'm pot, you're black!!!! So, old windy bear, I'll continue doing what I do best as far as this sight goes, and I will change ONLY what I can verify with a link. I'll continue to get better and better, and more careful. You continue changing anything that I happen to slip up on, so that I don't place something that can't be verified, but do it quietly old windy bear. Very, very quietly. And we'll get along just fine. You block this server, I'll edit from another server. In the mean-time, before you go that far, check my history. You will find that in a short short amount of time, I have really helped this site, and have done so with the best intentions. I never mean to vandalize, a word you guys absolutely love to use, like I'm committing a criminal act. All I ever intend to do is accurately portray what is documented here on Wikipedia. And in doing so, I get hammered at every opportunity from you guys. In the future, I'll slip up less, and you'll lay off. That's how we'll settle this. But when I DO make a mistake, stop acting like I'm this rogue criminal running around intentionally vandalizing this site..I have the very BEST intentions..And any mistake I make is completely accidental. So lay off, and at least be civil when repairing what I've done. This is my hobbie, as nerdy as it may seem, it's something I enjoy. Do you honestly think I'd enjoy it if I weren't putting forth the effort of doing it right?

[edit] Your edit to Liane de Pougy - July 5

Please stop adding commercial links to Wikipedia, as you did in Liane de Pougy. It is considered spamming, and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising. Thanks. Baseball,Baby! take a swing 18:51, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your edit to Christina of Sweden

Wikipedia is not for unrelated porn links, either. And what are links to photos of Maude Adams doing in the Mercedes de Acosta and Katharine Cornell articles? I see you have been blocked from editing for adding such irrelevant links before. Please desist or you will get a substantially longer block. Bishonen | talk 19:23, 7 July 2006 (UTC).

I thought it was relevant to add a link relating to one of the topics in the article. It was totally unintentional.

Oh, ok, all is good. It's just that since Maude Adams was only mentioned in passing in those articles, as one of many relationships of the subject, I have to admit I don't see the relevance, no. You mostly didn't add the link where she was mentioned, either, but at some apparently random spot (look at this one). May I suggest you might want to edit a little more slowly? Bishonen | talk 20:42, 7 July 2006 (UTC).

Agreed, and thanks. I believe, actually, after reviewing, that I accidently added that link thinking I was adding another. I will be more careful.

Please do not add commercial links or links to your own private websites to Wikipedia, as you did in Jackie Warner. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links. See the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thanks. A link to the edit I have reverted can be found here: link. If you believe this edit should not have been reverted, please contact me.

[edit] Your edit to Djuna Barnes

Please don't replace well-sourced information with unsourced material, as you did in Djuna Barnes. If you have a reliable source for a different version of the story of Barnes's relationship with Natalie Barney, then please propose the change in Talk:Djuna Barnes.

Also, please use an edit summary when you edit Wikipedia articles. Thank you! —Celithemis 21:13, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your edits to Sarah Bernhardt and Lillie Langtry

These women were not courtesans nor prostitutes as these words are usually defined, so I removed your material describing them as such. 70.49.102.169 18:17, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
