[[File:Information orange.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]] Please do not add or change content, as you did at [[:Blue Bloods (TV series)]], without '''properly''' citing
:All the sources were reliable: Newsday and TVLine. [[User:Newsjunkie|newsjunkie]] ([[User talk:Newsjunkie#top|talk]]) 23:44, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
::As explained repeatedly above - they were not properly cited. [[User:Picard's_Facepalm|<b>--Picard's Facepalm</b>]] <b style="color:red">•</b> [[Special:Contributions/Picard's_Facepalm| <sup>Made It So</sup>]] [[User talk:Picard's_Facepalm|<i style="color:green"><sub>Engage!</sub></i>]] <b style="color:red">•</b> 23:46, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
:::The beauty of Wikipedia is that anyone can contribute with as much or as little time as they feel able to dedicate. [[User:Newsjunkie|newsjunkie]] ([[User talk:Newsjunkie#top|talk]]) 02:20, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
::::It is clear that you certainly have ample time as evidenced by your visiting the reference source in the first place, compounded by the sheer number of edits you are conducting. Please ensure you are following the totality of the guideline, while also seizing the opportunity to notably improve your proficiency as a contributor by completing full citations to the articles you add them to. With the Cite editing tool at the top of the editor window - it takes approximately 15-20 seconds to do, using the information already provided on the source page you are referencing from. It can easily be done utilizing the same copy-paste method you use now for adding the bare URLs. Thanks.

[[File:Stop.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]] Please do not add or change content, as you did at [[:Blue Bloods (TV series)]], without '''properly''' citing [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources|reliable sources]]. Please review the guidelines at [[Wikipedia:Citing sources]] and [[Wikipedia:BAREURL]] and take the opportunity to properly add references to the article. Please make sure you also review [[WP:CITE]] and [[Help:Citation_Style_1#Online_sources]] and use the available aids and tools to help you quickly and properly fill in and complete the necessary citation fields. This also helps preventing the need for other editors to come in behind you and clean up the references, while also improving your proficiency as a regular WP editor.
Additionally, please be sure '''not to include tracking & metadata''' portions of the URLs that you use for references. The raw, shortened URL, ending in ''".html"'' to the exact, cited source is what is necessary - none of the ancillary tracking & meta info which leads back to the original site which held the link you may have clicked on. This information '''may possibly be used to attain Personally Identifiable Information ([[Personal data|PII]]) <u>about you</u>''' and your browsing when publicly viewable, so it is in your best interest to ensure this information is trimmed from your reference URLs. Thanks.

:As the other editor noted, the tracking data was relevant in this particular case for the link to work properly. [[User:Newsjunkie|newsjunkie]] ([[User talk:Newsjunkie#top|talk]]) 01:32, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
