Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that you made a change to an article, 2018–19 Longwood Lancers men's basketball team, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Postal voting. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 15:22, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that in this edit to Native American cultures in the United States, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. 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. Materialscientist (talk) 11:07, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at Native American cultures in the United States, you may be blocked from editing. { $\mathbb{JPG}$ } 07:46, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

Response to comment on my talk page
I think that most of the reason your edits have been getting reverted is because you're a non-logged-in user removing large amounts of content (and references). If you register an account it'll be far less likely for your edits to get reverted -- but still, if you're going to remove a bunch of content from a page (and especially content that's cited, you should probably go on the talk page first. Then you can see what consensus is on the issue -- article contents often reflect the collective efforts of dozens or hundreds of people. Sometimes you can just go ahead and be BOLD and go ham with a major edit, but in that case, it's typically considered good form to create a talk page section for your edit (especially if it's been reverted before). A few of the templates on this page can give you reading material for RS, NPOV etc -- as you mentioned being a scholar, you probably know most of this stuff, but it could be useful to read up on the specific vagaries of how WP implements them. (For what it's worth, I don't have a political or historical disagreement with your edits, and I don't know a whole lot about that sort of history anyway -- I think the reversions are based more on procedure than on content.) { $\mathbb{JPG}$ } 08:36, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to George Floyd protests in Richmond, Virginia, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. SunDawn (talk) 01:36, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
