Here are some other hints and tips:
 * I recommend that you get a username. You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but  [ creating an account]  is quick, free and non-intrusive, requires no personal information, and there are many benefits of having a username. (If you edit without a username, your IP address is used to identify you instead.)

Hi. Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for working to improve the site with your edit to Frank Lucas, as we really appreciate your participation. However, the edit had to be reverted, because Wikipedia cannot accept uncited material. Wikipedia requires that the material in its articles be accompanied by reliable, verifiable (usually secondary) sources explicitly cited in the article text in the form of an inline citation, which you can learn to make here.

Although there was a citation at the end of the sentence in question, it did not support the information you added to it, aside from other problems with it I mentioned in my edit summary.

If you ever have any other questions about editing, or need help regarding the site's policies, just let me know by leaving a message for me in a new section at the bottom of my talk page. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 04:14, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Battle of Mogadishu (1993), it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it 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. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. Loafiewa (talk) 13:54, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi. Please stop adding uncited material to articles, as you did with these edits to Frank Lucas and these edits to Ike Atkinson, as this violates Wikipedia's Verifiability policy. Wikipedia requires that the material in its articles be accompanied by reliable, verifiable (usually secondary) sources explicitly cited in the text in the form of an inline citation, which you can learn to make here. If you ever have any other questions about editing, or need help regarding the site's policies, just let me know by leaving a message for me in a new section at the bottom of my talk page. Thanks.
