Stop adding links to musical acts you think the characters are named after. You need to cite reliable sources; see Wikipedia:No original research ↗. Xfansd (talk) 00:39, 26 December 2022 (UTC)
Very Important People
Please remember to cite sources when adding new episodes. Honestly, it's probably better to wait for the episodes to actually be released; that way, we can fully fill in the entries rather than just leaving things half finished for two or three days. It's not a race; better to have complete, accurate, verifiable information than rushing to add things the moment the promo goes up. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 14:43, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
:Again, please just wait ''A FEW EXTRA HOURS'' before adding the new episode. Then you can use the same citation format that every other entry on the page uses, which makes things much easier as a whole. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 20:29, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for April 16
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Dimension 20 ↗, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Lou Wilson ↗. Such links are usually incorrect ↗, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. <small>(Read the FAQ{{*}} Join us at the DPL WikiProject ↗.)</small>
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 19:59, 16 April 2025 (UTC)

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Welcome ↗, and thank you for your attempt to lighten up Wikipedia. However, this is an encyclopedia, and articles are intended to be serious, so please don't make joke edits, as you did to :Dimension 20 ↗. Readers looking for accurate information will not find them amusing. If you'd like to experiment with editing, please use your sandbox instead, where you are given a certain degree of freedom ↗ in what you write. <!-- Template:uw-joke1 --> Sariel Xilo (talk) 00:52, 18 July 2025 (UTC)
:@Sariel Xilo I wasn't the one who wrote "Mark Mercer" in the first place, that was someone else entirely. I just saw someone doing a bit and added on to it. Don't blame me for someone else's indiscretion. TheShawnsomeOne (talk) 01:05, 18 July 2025 (UTC)
::Instead of continuing the joke, you could have removed it so I think the notice is still valid. Sariel Xilo (talk) 01:07, 18 July 2025 (UTC)
Wikipedia and copyright
30px|link=|alt=Control copyright icon ↗ Hello TheShawnsomeOne! While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, it's important to understand and adhere to guidelines about using information from sources to prevent copyright ↗ and plagiarism ↗ issues. Here are the key points:
- '''Limited quotation:''' You may only copy or translate a ''small'' portion of a source. Any direct quotations ↗ must be enclosed in double quotation mark ↗s (") and properly cited using an inline citation ↗. More information is available on the non-free content page ↗. To learn how to cite a source, see Help:Referencing for beginners ↗.
- '''Paraphrasing:''' Beyond limited quotations, you are required to put all information ''in your own words''. Following the source's wording too closely can lead to copyright issues ↗ and is not permitted; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing ↗. Even when paraphrasing, you must still cite your sources ↗ as appropriate.
- '''Image use guidelines:''' In most scenarios, only freely licensed ↗ or public domain ↗ images may be used and these should be uploaded to our sister project, Wikimedia Commons ↗. In some scenarios, non-freely copyrighted content can be used if they meet all ten of our non-free content criteria ↗; Wikipedia:Plain and simple non-free content guide ↗ may help with determining a file's eligibility.
- '''Copyrighted material donation:''' If ''you'' hold the copyright to the content you want to copy, or are a legally designated agent, you ''may'' be able to license the text for publication here. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials ↗.
- '''Copying and translation within Wikipedia:''' Wikipedia articles can be copied or translated, however they must have proper attribution in accordance with Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia ↗. For translation, see {{section link|Help:Translation|Licensing}}.
