Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did at Tartan, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you.

In particular, it is not permissible to go around deleting source citations, especially with blatantly false edit summaries that claim to be fixing errors and restoring links. If you keep this up, you will be blocked from editing. If you think there is something wrong with the source cited, or that it does not support the claim it was cited for, you can open a discussion about this on the article's talk page. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  01:37, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

I think you're the same as User:2A02:C7F:C7A:4A00:7489:6507:DF69:2B9C. If you plan to work on articles in this subject (or some other one) please create an account, since bouncing around from IP address to IP address makes it difficult to communicate and for other editors to have a clear sense that edits by you are related.

As for the Falkirk/Glen Affric thing, you can see that the source covers both and has been cited specifically for the "Falkirk tartan, dates to the third century" claim. It's perfectly fine to replace that with a better and more Falkirk-focused source, of course, but it mustn't just be drive-by deleted, because it is a valid source, and the only one present, for the claim.

If you mean by "Section for Glen Affric tartan to be installed" that you plan to create an entire section at Tartan for that, please don't. Should be a new article. The GAT is already covered in sufficient detail for the Tartan overview article under "16th century", and the article is already much, much too long. I'm already in the process of splitting it up into separate, narrower articles (Regimental tartan was first; User:SMcCandlish/Incubator/Tartan design and weaving, a draft in my user space for now, is next; Clan tartan will be next after that; etc.). We actually should eventually have a Glen Affric tartan article and a Falkirk tartan article, so those would be excellent things to work on, using the summary material on them at Tartan as the base on which to build. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  10:25, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
