Hello, I'm Magnolia677. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Shelby, North Carolina, 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. 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. Thank you.

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Shelby, North Carolina, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 10:34, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry you are having difficulty with Wikipedia, but frankly you are making your own problems. It's not unusual to come to Wikipedia with misconceptions - most people do. Your edits at Shelby, North Carolina were removed by an experienced editor, who requested references for your changes. Per one of our pillar policies, WP:V, particularly the subsection linked at WP:BURDEN, when an edit is removed for lacking sources, you are required to provide said sources prior to replacing the edit. It is in no way optional. Just as so to give you a better understanding of what a Wikipedia article is, like any encyclopedia, Wikipedia is a tertiary source. That means every single thing in the article must come from reliable published sources - everything. Nothing whatsoever can come from what you know. See WP:OR. All an encyclopedia article is (or should be) is a summary of what has been written about the subject of the article in reliable secondary sources. It isn't for the subject of the article and it absolutely cannot promote the subject of the article. The fact that you have a connection to the subject of the article does not give you any extra privilege regarding editing the article. I'd say it's irrelevant, but it does have relevance if you continue to disregard WP:OWN. The relevance is explained at WP:COI. Please assume good faith when dealing with other editors. did with you, as am I. It's clear you're simply unfamiliar with how Wikipedia works, and both he and I are trying to instruct you. I hope you can see fit to learn to work within our collaborative project. John from Idegon (talk) 03:01, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
