Formatting

Hi SuperMarioA9H5! I formatted one of the bare url references at Dacia 1310; use it as a template or feel free to ask me if you need any further help. Bare urls are not optimal, obviously. Also, there are probably better sources than an insurance company advertising content, see WP:RS. Best, Mr.choppers | ✎ 20:54, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Ford Explorer. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 16:44, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's no original research policy by adding your personal analysis or synthesis into articles, as you did at Ford Explorer, you may be blocked from editing. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 16:46, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

https://xr793.com/ Website containing old ford brochures, this is where I got all my information from. Everything I added was factual, if it wasn't please let me know and I will change it in my edit.

I don't think that website is reliable considering they don't give much info on themselves and the domain name is completely unrelated to the website. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 16:51, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough, I will see if I can find a more reliable resource.

https://www.auto-brochures.com/ford.html Is this more reliable? It seems to contain many of the same brochures as the other website with much of the same information. The brochures are official Ford literature.

Maybe I should explain the reasoning for my edits, forgive me as I am still relatively new to this. In regards to the changes to the Explorer Sport's dates from 1998 to 1999, according to the 1998 Explorer brochure, the XL trim was still being produced for that year, so I changed the dates to 1999 since, according to the brochures, that was the year that the XL was dropped, with every 3-door Explorer being renamed to "Explorer Sport." Furthermore, technically, before that date, the 3-door Explorer was referred to as the "3-door Explorer," with the Sport only used as an official name after 1999 when all other trim levels were dropped. It is admittedly a pretty grey area as to whether or not Ford truly treated it as a separate model or just a variant of the Explorer, so I decided to only list it as a separate model after 1999 in the timeline. There were also minor trim level bits of information that I changed in my edit in accordance with those brochures. Also, in regards to the 2013 Explorer Sport, I changed that as some of the language seemed outdated, using present tense terms for a vehicle that technically came out 10 years ago. From what I have seen, all of the information that I have added is correct, and I felt absolute confidence in adding it to the Wikipedia article. I write this in the hopes that the information I added will be redacted back with proper sources.

My bad, it appears the websites you've given me are simply databases for brochures regarding the product. That said I'm not entirely sure what the status is on them and whether we should be using the database or the actual PDF of the brochure. I'd ask at WP:WikiProject Cars since they would know more than me. (Please remember to sign your posts on talk pages by typing four keyboard tildes like this: ~~~~. Or, you can use the [ reply ] button, which automatically signs posts.) ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 17:30, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I'll talk to them to see if I can use those as citations for my information, if I can, I'll revert the page back to my edits with citations this time. Does that work?

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Also, to answer your question, no that does not work since the sources may be unreliable. If they're determined to be reliable then yes you can readd the info. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 17:38, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

So I talked with some people at WP:WikiProject Cars, they said that as long as I use factual and non-subjective information from the brochures, I should be allowed to use them as citations. In that case, would I be able to readd the info I posted with the updated citations?--SuperMarioA9H5 (talk) 23:24, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@SuperMarioA9H5: Yep that's good. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 23:35, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thanks--SuperMarioA9H5 (talk) 23:35, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you violate Wikipedia's no original research policy by inserting unpublished information or your personal analysis into an article, as you did at Atari Jaguar. -- ferret (talk) 22:24, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

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 Crystal Castles (video game). Synorem (talk) 22:45, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 2 weeks for persistently adding unsourced or poorly sourced content. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. -- ferret (talk) 22:58, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Block

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

SuperMarioA9H5 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Just got the notification and was in the middle of adding the citation when I got blocked. https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2022/09/the-103-classic-games-that-did-and-didnt-make-the-atari-50-anniversary-cut/. I’ll be more thorough with citations next time.

Accept reason:

The blocking admin has indicated they're OK with me doing this. You did do this after warnings, but I think time served is enough. My suggestion is that going forward you add the cite at the same time as the fact it supports ... break those two tasks up into separate edits and more likely than not you'll forget to add the cite, or get distracted. — Daniel Case (talk) 10:13, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
