Thanks for contributing to the article Bergamot essential oil. However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that material must be verifiable and attributed to reliable sources. You have recently used citations which copied, or mirrored, material from Wikipedia. This leads to a circular reference and is not acceptable. Most mirrors are clearly labeled as such, but some are in violation of our license and do not provide the correct attribution. Please help by adding alternate sources to the article you edited! If you need any help or clarification, you can look at Help:Contents/Editing Wikipedia or ask at Wikipedia:New contributors' help page, or just ask me. Thank you.

Hello, Pwtragedy, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits did not conform to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may have been removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations verified in reliable, reputable print or online sources or in other reliable media. Always provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.
If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to The Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Hi Pwtragedy! The thread you created at the Wikipedia:Teahouse, You can still read the archived discussion. If you have follow-up questions, please .

Pwtragedy, despite our previous conversation above two months ago, you still seem to be having great difficulties with sourcing. You used the "newworldencyclopedia" source again here; this was explicitly mentioned above as a poor source. You've used "bionity" here, which very clearly notes "This article is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License. It uses material from the Wikipedia article Basil. A list of authors is available in Wikipedia" at the bottom of the page. You also added "dbpedia" here, which clearly notes "This content was extracted from Wikipedia and is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License." In the two articles I reviewed this morning, I see the same pattern of other junk sources (blogs, user-created recipe sites, random "essential oil" websites), and good sources that do not directly support the material on the page. This appears to be a serious and intractable problem - if you are not able to evaluate sources correctly, please stop adding them. Please consider this a final warning: adding mirrors and other very obviously incorrect sources is disruptive. Kuru (talk) 12:07, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
Hello Pwtragedy. I have reverted this because none of these pertained to Oregano. Additionally please see WP:RS. Invasive Spices (talk) 2 May 2022 (UTC)
<ref>
because that is just a company attempting to sell something and then Plantsurfer removed the Costes <ref>
because that does not pertain to Betulaceae but to Rosaceae instead. Costes would otherwise have been a good source and the others are acceptable. If in future you could improve the quality of your searches for sources and pay closer attention while reading them you could keep more of your contributions. Some of what you find is useful. Invasive Spices (talk) 3 May 2022 (UTC)You added the Padayatty 2016 ref to two locations in Vitamin C. I reverted that. First, Padayatty 2016 already existed as a ref in the article, so there was no need to add it as a new ref, twice. Second, your creation of the ref was flawed. I had corrected that too, but then I looked at the contents of Padayatty and saw that it did not provide the information called for by the citation needed request. For example, Padayatty had nothing on vitamin C and cancer or HIV. Please take more care in addressing citations needed. David notMD (talk) 13:29, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
For journal references, the preference for date= is month (spelled out, not shortened, i.e., September) and year, rather than year-month as numbers. Thus, September 2018 rather than 2018-9. At articles such as Hyaluronic acid and Cedar oil you have been making flawed refs that others have repaired. David notMD (talk) 13:44, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
These are inappropriate references. Invasive Spices (talk) 4 May 2022 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did at Santalum album, you may be blocked from editing. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. In various articles, you have added spam nonsense sources like this. Please stop or you may get blocked from editing. Use WP:SCIRS secondary reviews from the published literature.

<ref>
s you find are low quality such as these. References like these must be removed. Invasive Spices (talk) 6 May 2022 (UTC)
In this edit at Argan oil, you again added spam sources here and here. Evidently, you do not see that the publisher is a company selling something - that is WP:PROMO at Wikipedia, and you are spreading both commercial promotion and spam misinformation on matters of human health by inserting such references. You are prolific in adding sources, but careless in choosing good ones. I advised you above to become more familiar with WP:SCIRS (peer-reviewed, published in reputable journals or books), which you are not following. Zefr (talk) 18:34, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you insert a spam link, as you did at Agarwood. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted, preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines. Focus on the description of "health benefits in that source - all nonsense. Read WP:MEDRS. Zefr (talk) 14:20, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
In several edits like this one, you are adding a source in format but leaving a space between the sentence-ending period and the reference, then not putting a space for the next sentence. Other editors have to go in and clean this up. You can be more careful to proof-read your edit before finalizing it. Follow WP:REFPUNCT. Zefr (talk) 18:34, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you insert a spam link, as you did at Cardamom. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted, preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines. It's clear you cannot understand WP:SPAM like this. Zefr (talk) 15:40, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
