Recent edit to John Blair (Northern Ireland politician)
Hello. I noticed that you made an edit to a biography of a living person (John Blair (Northern Ireland politician)), but that you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! M.Bitton (talk) 23:53, 12 December 2019 (UTC)

Siege of Derry
Dear 165.225.81.42. Please excuse me for being a bit late in my reaction. I am a novice in Wikipedia and struggle with the learning curve, which I find much longer than I expected. I added some Harvard-style references to the end of the lead of the article Siege of Derry. This addition looked like this: "(Doherty 2008) (Graham 1829) (Mackenzie 1690) (Walker 1690) (Witherow 1829)". You "bundled" these citations by adding REF tags before the first and and after the last citation. Why? Perhaps I should have done this differently. I added these citations because some experienced Wikipedian put a Citation Missing maintenance tag to the lead of another article where I had contributed. I read MOS:LEADCITE and am not much wiser. Can you throw some light on this? With many thanks Johannes Schade (talk) 19:45, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
