Hello, I'm NewEnglandYankee. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person   on Andrew Left, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. 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!

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Andrew Left. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

Hello, I'm NewEnglandYankee. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the main body of Andrew Left. Generally, any relevant external links should be listed in an "External links" section at the end of the article and meet the external links guidelines. Links within the body of an article should be internal Wikilinks. 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.


 * Please discuss your edits on the article's talk page and gain consensus before reinserting them. NewEnglandYankee (talk) 21:22, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living (or recently deceased) persons, as you did to Andrew Left. Thank you. Coryphantha  Talk  02:28, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
 * If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.


 * Not only have I read "the rules for posting" (which is an inaccurate verb, but never mind), I have--out of the goodness of my heart--come here to give you some of the benefits of my reading.
 * "Wikipedia articles may include links to web pages outside Wikipedia (external links), but they should not normally be placed in the body of an article." WP:EL
 * "Do not leave unsourced or poorly sourced material in an article if it might damage the reputation of living people" WP:BURDEN
 * "For relatively unknown people, editors must seriously consider not including material—in any article—that suggests the person has committed, or is accused of having committed, a crime, unless a conviction has been secured." WP:BLPCRIME
 * "An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page—whether involving the same or different material—within a 24-hour period." WP:3RR
 * But: "The following reverts are exempt from the edit-warring policy: Removing contentious material that is libelous, biased, unsourced, or poorly sourced according to our biographies of living persons (BLP) policy." WP:3RR
 * And the big one: Editors must take particular care when adding to  Wikipedia page. Such material requires a high degree of sensitivity, and must adhere  to all applicable laws in the United States, to this policy, and to Wikipedia's three core content policies:
 * Neutral point of view (NPOV)
 * Verifiability (V)
 * No original research (NOR)


 * The material you are adding has been challenged. I've just done so, in case it wasn't clear. Please use the article's talk page before attempting to re-add it. Any administrator would already be justified in blocking you and locking the page against changes. The way to avoid that is with discussion. NewEnglandYankee (talk) 03:45, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
