  Hello, I'm DVdm. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Existential risk from advanced artificial intelligence, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. DVdm (talk) 15:18, 13 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

Full dates of birth for living people

edit

To help avoid identity fraud we are meant to avoid giving full DOBs unless they are widely known, see WP:DOB. Also part of our policy on living people is WP:BLPPRIMARY which says "Exercise extreme caution in using primary sources. Do not use trial transcripts and other court records, or other public documents, to support assertions about a living person. Do not use public records that include personal details, such as date of birth, home value, traffic citations, vehicle registrations, and home or business addresses." This of course includes voter registration documents. If you haven't been reverted already, I'd appreciate it if you reverted yourself. Thanks. Doug Weller talk 10:51, 1 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

I've done it now and suppressed the edit, which means that no one but a handful of Administrators can see it. Please never use sources like that again. First, as above, it gives out a lot of data, not just the dob, and that's against BLP policy. Secondly, it wasn't even official so no matter what couldn't be used.

  Please do not add or change content, as you did at NXIVM, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. General Ization Talk 13:20, 24 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

The discussion of your edits has been moved to Talk:NXIVM/Archive 2#NXIVM, Reliable sources were provided. General Ization Talk 15:07, 24 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

WP:BLPPRIMARY

edit

You were warned here above about using primary sources for biographies. We can not cite birth certificates or government databases in any biography of a living person. Please assist me in going through your edits and reverting these additions. Thank you. – Thjarkur (talk) 11:48, 5 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Christopher Titus, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not use WP:USERG sites to support WP:BLP info. (or anything else) Toddst1 (talk) 19:39, 7 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add poorly sourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Frank Giustra. You can't just use any content on the internet as a WP:RS - especially ones that say "the information may not always be 100% accurate" Toddst1 (talk) 20:56, 28 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

BLP Sanctions

edit

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
