Welcome to Wikipedia, Doomed Shadow!

I'm Tesseractic and I want to welcome you to Wikipedia!

Wikipedia is an amazing community adventure which is constantly being edited. There are many different versions of Wikipedia for many different languages, and the English version has 6,933,145 articles which are written by volunteers like you and me! We even have a newspaper, The Signpost, to keep you up to date with news and new developments. Making your first steps on Wikipedia can be hard sometimes, so if you need any help, don't hesitate to leave a message on my talk page or ask a question on your talk page by clicking here. Someone will help you soon!

Wikipedia has five pillars which summarise Wikipedia's fundamental principles:

  1. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia
  2. Wikipedia is written from a neutral point of view
  3. Wikipedia is free content that anyone can use, edit, and distribute
  4. Editors should treat each other with respect and civility
  5. Wikipedia has no firm rules

I hope you have a good time here on Wikipedia, whether reading or contributing.

I uploaded images of bands from the internet to the Wikipedia pages of these bands. I do not have a permission evidence from the authors of these images and I am told that If I do not provide permission evidence from the authors in the next 6 days, then they will delete the images I put up and I do not know who the authors of these images are and I'm stuck on what to do.

Thanks for your contributions to Popular Monster (album). Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because It is upcoming, there are obviously no reviews since it isn't out, no chart history, etc. Case of WP:TOOSOON.. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. CNMall41 (talk) 17:24, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I do understand the point you are trying to make, but I think that it is okay for the wiki page for this album to be out for information for people to see information for this album.
But thank you, though. Doomed Shadow (talk) 12:22, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Living Chaos (July 14)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by SafariScribe were:
This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.
This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.
Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

Information icon Please do not introduce links in actual articles to draft articles, as you did to Oceano (band) and Revelation (Oceano album). Since a draft is not yet ready for the main article space, it is not in shape for ordinary readers, and links from articles should not go to a draft. Such links are contrary to the Manual of Style. These links have been removed. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 21:54, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I understand, thank you. Doomed Shadow (talk) 21:55, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Living Chaos (July 15)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by CNMall41 was:
This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:
Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.
 The comment the reviewer left was:
There are plenty of announcements about the release as well as some of the singles, but there needs to be more in-depth coverage such as reviews. I did a quick WP:BEFORE and unable to find anything.
Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

Bone Kingdom moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Bone Kingdom. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability and please make sure to fulfill WP:NALBUM; the easiest way is adding reviews in reliable sources. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Broc (talk) 20:45, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A lengthy welcome

Hi Doomed Shadow. Welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you don't mind if I share some of my thoughts on starting out as a new editor on Wikipedia: If I could get editors in your situation to follow just one piece of advice, it would be this: Learn Wikipedia by working only on non-contentious topics until you have a feel for the normal editing process and the policies that usually come up when editing casually. You'll find editing to be fun, easy, and rewarding. The rare disputes are resolved quickly and easily in collaboration.

Working on biographical information about living persons is far more difficult. Wikipedia's Biographies of living persons policy requires strict adherence to multiple content policies, and applies to all information about living persons including talk pages.

If you have a relationship with the topics you want to edit, then you will need to review Wikipedia's Conflict of interest policy, which may require you to disclose your relationship and restrict your editing depending upon how you are affiliated with the subject matter. Regardless, editing in a manner that promotes an entity or viewpoint over others can appear to be detrimental to the purpose of Wikipedia and the neutrality required in articles.

Some topic areas within Wikipedia have special editing restrictions that apply to all editors. It's best to avoid these topics until you are extremely familiar with all relevant policies and guidelines.

If you work from reliable, independent sources, you shouldn't go far wrong. WP:RSP and WP:RSN are helpful in determining if a source is reliable.

If you find yourself in a disagreement with another editor, it's best to discuss the matter on the relevant talk page.

I hope you find some useful information in all this, and welcome again. --Hipal (talk) 21:30, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for the advice, I really appreciate it, I will take note of everything you said. Doomed Shadow (talk) 18:54, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is Discogs a reliable source? Doomed Shadow (talk) 14:42, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
(talk page stalker) Discogs is user-generated, so it is not considered a reliable source. > Tesseractic: talk? ✎ 19:26, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Does anyone by any chance know how I can make the wikipedia page of something (e.g. a band or an album) appear on the info box on the right-side of it's google page? Doomed Shadow (talk) 19:38, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Marking substantive edits as "minor"

Information icon Hi Doomed Shadow! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Hell on Earth that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you. —ShelfSkewed Talk 13:14, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

November 2024

Information icon Please do not add or change content, as you did at Metallica, 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. 4TheWynne (talk • contribs) 23:29, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Warning icon Please stop. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Miss May I, you may be blocked from editing. - FlightTime (open channel) 23:31, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Stop icon You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced or poorly sourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Popular Monster (album). - FlightTime (open channel) 23:33, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
