Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Wally Byam, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please 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. Thanks. Materialscientist (talk) 05:35, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

My Reply:
I don't know how to contact you. This was the first time I ever tried to edit a wikiepedia post. I am the Historian for the Airstream Club, a.k.a. the Wally Byam Caravan Club International (WBCCI). It is a constant fight for me to get Airstream and WBCCI history correct in online places. Most of my edits were to add pertanent details, though i did try to correct a few inaccuracies. I am certain that some of the actually cited sources contain many errors as every book and online article about Airstream and WBCCI has inaccuracies, some more that others. I do not have any online sources to cite for my corrections, but would be happy to converse with you to assure you that I know what I am talking about. You can verify who I am here as I am listed as the Standing Committee Chairman for the WBCCI Historical Committee here: https://airstreamclub.org/about/standing-committee-chairs.

Question. Do I need to create an account to be able to make edits without this type of "oversight"? Note, I agree that random edits need to be scrutinized, so no problem there. I would only expect to make edits in relation to Airstream, Wally Byam (the founder of Airstream), and the Airstream Club a.k.a WBCCI). I doubt I would ever find another topic that I would wish to edit. Please advise.  Thanks.
