User talk:A Random Lebanese Guy

April 2024
Hello, I'm That Tired Tarantula. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Hundred Days' War, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. That Tired Tarantula  Burrow  13:08, 28 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Cup of black tea.JPG Hi Random Lebanese Guy,
 * I've noticed in your edits which continued from your logged out edits, you've still been adding unsourced content and it's still been getting reverted, which may be fustrating if you're not familiar with how Wikipedia works. As the message above says I'd suggest you try reading referencing for beginners, but if there's anything you're stuggling to understand then try asking at the Teahouse where there be a whole bunch of volunteers ready to awnser your questions.
