Information icon Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Gravity (film), but we cannot accept original research. Original research also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. CapnZapp (talk) 17:03, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Please do not add or significantly change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did with this edit to Gravity (film). Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. DVdm (talk) 20:29, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Note - Please have a look at our policy about so-called original research—see wp:no original research. Thanks - DVdm (talk) 20:31, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add unsourced or original content, as you did with this edit to Gravity (film). Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. DVdm (talk) 20:41, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Note - Please do have a look at wp:no original research and wp:synthesis. I think you can be a good editor and make valuable contributions, but if you keep adding this unsourced material, you will be blocked. You need external reliable sources for this, and these sources must directly backup your statements. You cannot use them to draw conclusions about something they are not talking about, in this case a movie. Really. DVdm (talk) 20:44, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Gravity

[edit]

You are attempting to cite a book written in 2005. I don't have access to this book, but I am quite certain it could not be critiquing a film that would be released eight years later. You cannot draw your own conclusions on the film based on information from this book, as this is original research -- see WP:OR for an explanation of what falls under original research. --SubSeven (talk) 20:52, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
