[edit] Uncited material in Doctor Who articles
Hi, Derek. First of all, thanks for your edits to Doctor Who articles. Unfortunately, I've had to revert many of them, because they don't fit with Wikipedia policies. Wikipedia requires that information be attributable to reliable sources. Many of the edits you've made recently appear to be your own synthesis of the information available about upcoming Doctor Who episodes, which is original research. If you have a source for the edits you've made, please provide it, either in the edit itself or in the edit summary. Citing sources is very important, and if you can't provide a source edits may be reverted. Similarly, if a sentence has a citation after it, please don't alter the sentence to add information not present in the original source. (For example, Russell T. Davies' column in DWM 378 indicated that Graham Harper's two episodes were set in a distant solar system and on the planet Malcassairo. That source doesn't indicate which is Blink and which is Utopia. If you have a source indicating that Utopia is set on Malcassairo, please provide it, rather than making it appear that Davies' column says that.)
Please don't let this put you off from contributing to Wikipedia — it's just important that our information be attributable. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me on my user talk page. You can also discuss the edits you wish to make on the articles' talk pages. Thanks. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 04:32, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Your edits regarding the upcoming Avengers 1941 story
We can't use promotional materials as citation. Please wait until the story comes out, thank you. ThuranX (talk) 03:32, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
