Hello, I'm LisafBia6531. An edit you recently made to George Church (geneticist) seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, the sandbox is the best place to do so. 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. LisafBia6531 (talk) 15:11, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

About your edits to Stanford University
You have been adding lots of material to the article Stanford University. About half of it has been deleted by other editors, including myself, as WP:puffery - that is, unsourced flattery such as "visionary" - or as not belonging in the article's lead section where you placed it. I realize you have been doing this in good faith. Heck, I am a Stanford graduate myself, and I would love to load the article with superlatives. But I can't. WP:Neutrality and WP:Reliable sources are essential guidelines for what is included in Wikipedia. Another important rule: the lead section of the article summarizes what is in the body of the article; things like how many medals Stanford won or what the NYT said about the school belong in the article's text, not the lead.

I have protected the article for a couple of days to prevent editing by new or unregistered users such as yourself. During that time, please look around Wikipedia and try to get a handle on what is and is not acceptable in articles. And if you resume editing the Stanford article after the protection expires, be sure your material is sourced to independent reliable sources. MelanieN (talk) 17:17, 16 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Concur in full with above. Also, I have also reverted your edit which incorrectly inserted a "the" before Silicon Valley in the Stanford University article. The name Silicon Valley does not take a definite or indefinite article in English. --Coolcaesar (talk) 03:27, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
