Please do not add unreliable sources to BLPs[edit]

Your edits to Hassanal Bolkiah introduced multiple BLP-violating sources. Blogs and deprecated sources like WP:DAILYMAIL are unacceptable and per policy should never be used in BLPs. I'm hopeful this won't happen again now that you've been informed, but I'm pinging AP-granter @Tom Morris since it's likely issues extend across many articles that should now be patrolled.
Thanks, JoelleJay (talk) 23:07, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies for the BLP-volations, I have overlooked the uses of DailyMail as an unreliable source. This will not happen again. Pangalau (talk) 02:31, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have further added sources to the article to make up for my mistakes and to back up unreferenced materials, in addition to the removal of unsourced statements. I would like to emphasize that my intentions are to expand on the article and not to paint the individual in a "good" light. Once again, I expressed my sincere apologies for my mistake and the troubles caused. Pangalau (talk) 03:13, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's ok, I can see that you're here in good faith and are trying to help. Just be sure not to cite anything resembling a blog, either, like Royal Watcher Blog and BruneiResources.blogspot.com. I would also avoid commercial sources like Royal Insignia. JoelleJay (talk) 03:17, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have taken note, thank you. Pangalau (talk) 04:12, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I had a brief scan of articles you've created and edited. Quite a few of the recent ones are based on Ukrainian sources, so I haven't looked into them in much detail.

On Isa bin Ibrahim, created in January 2023, some of the sourcing isn't exactly suitable — a description on a Goodreads page for what seems to be a self-published book and a blog post that excitedly revels in "DRAMA WITH ALL THE GORY DETAILS" of a divorce case...?

Please note the line from WP:BLP: "it is not Wikipedia's job to be sensationalist, or to be the primary vehicle for the spread of titillating claims about people's lives". If the only source for some information—especially about a living person—is unreliable gossip blogs and random social media speculation, it is highly likely that it is not suitable.

In this edit on Prince Abdul Mateen of Brunei, is there no better source than godsgift730.blogspot.com?

I'd strongly suggest taking some time to go over articles you've created or worked on to try to improve sourcing. If you're not sure about a website or other source, it's worth looking at WP:RSP to see if it's one that has been questioned, or to use the search box at WP:RSN to find discussions about it. —Tom Morris (talk) 13:14, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have taken note of that, and will take a closer and more serious attention the sources used in my article. I have planned to halt any edits and creation of any new articles starting from today, in order to revise through all my past creations to ensure all sources have been rechecked and unreliably sourced materials removed. This is indeed a serious matter to me and would make sure to do my best for the community. Pangalau (talk) 13:33, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Some news: today is not 18 May 2016 and on 19 March 2024 it was also not 18 March 2024....[edit]

Thanks for creating the Wikipedia article Sevastopol Park. When you created the article on 19 March 2024 you inserted the words in it "the whole of what is now Dnipropetrovsk, or Katerynoslav".... The thing is that on 19 May 2016 Dnipropetrovsk was renamed Dnipro... (and the name Katerynoslav was only used as a name for the city from 1918 to 1926 (so that made even less sense....)). So I would have preferred if at least looked at the general Wikipedia of the city, Dnipro, before you created the article about a park in this city. — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 20:41, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

PS The "Monument to Heroes of Sevastopol Defense" located in the park is partly demolished today by city authorities and the rest of the monument is likely to be moved to a museum in the near future. If you are interested on updates about this destruction probably a good idea to follow the updates on https://dp.informator.ua/uk/tags/derusifikaciya on the local news website "informator". — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 20:47, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thank you on the update regarding the demolishment of the monument. I have possibly missed out or accidentally mislabeled the name of the city in accordance to the city's time period. Pangalau (talk) 05:05, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
