To add to what

Ethnic groups in Ivory Coast, you've added a source http://countrystudies.us/ivory-coast/20.htm but that source appears to have copied its information without permission from https://tile.loc.gov/storage-services/master/frd/frdcstdy/co/cotedivoirecount00hand_0/cotedivoirecount00hand_0.pdf the original Library of Congress source. We must not link to possible copyright violations, so I've changed the source you used to the original one. I'd be very grateful if you would now review your other contributions and check whether you've made similar mistakes, then correct them, please. If you need any assistance with reference formatting, please feel free to ask for help. --RexxS (talk) 19:11, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply

Adding to what others have said above: I strongly suggest you check potential references against the information at

Please stop using ranker.com as a source. It is not reliable. Robby.is.on (talk) 08:12, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
A travel site such as accessgambia.com is not a reliable source for history. We need academic books or journal articles. Doug Weller talk 09:43, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Example: here, you add a low-value travel website/blog link to Euphorbia balsamifera; Euphorbia balsamifera isn't even mentioned on that website. A citation-needed tag is not an inviation to add low-quality links; whatever source that is supplied should directly support the text preceding the cite-needed tag.

Decline reason:

If you clearly understand, then please explain exactly what you understand, and how your behavior will change if unblocked. Also, you should probably provide an explanation of why you did not follow the advice of the numerous folks who've posted on this talk page about reliable sources.

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Note that if you resume adding low-quality references to articles after the expiration of this block, you will be blocked again for a longer duration. OhNoitsJamie Talk 14:07, 29 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

May 2020

welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Please do not add references to articles when the material next to the introduced footnote is not in the reference, as you did in such edits as: [1][2][3]. Sources must explicitly support the material they are next to. DrKay (talk) 07:23, 29 May 2020 (UTC)[reply

Blocked 1 week for repeatedly posting low-qualify references that don't support material they're are used for
