Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed maintenance templates from Oneida people. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Please see Help:Maintenance template removal for further information on when maintenance templates should or should not be removed. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

Removing material lacking citations
I notice you've been removing a lot of information tagged with the 'citation needed' template. The missing source seems to be the only thing wrong with a lot of the information you've been deleting. Rather than blindly removing material for want of a source, the better practice - that is, one that builds a better encyclopedia - would be to spend a few minutes trying to locate a source that supports the claim. Here, for example, another editor found a source for the material you would have deleted if the page hadn't been semi-protected.

Also please use edit summaries so that people know what you're doing. It makes it a lot easier for other editors who are might want to assess the quality of your work. Thanks. JohnInDC (talk) 22:07, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
