Hello, I'm TechnoSquirrel69. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, General American English, 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. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 08:17, 21 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello. Can references to other Wikipedia articles that prove my statement be considered reliable sources if they have been approved? Alexander Petrow (talk) 08:53, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Hey Alexander, in most cases the answer is no. Wikipedia is not a reliable source. In the case of the edit which I reverted, you would need to provide a citation to a reliable linguistics publication that supports the claim. Let me know if you have any questions! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 09:24, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
