Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
Hey Balancingakt, thanks for your message on my talk page and welcome to Wikipedia.

Regarding the edits you proposed and which I reverted, I would recommend you start a discussion on the article's talk page. You can propose the information you think should be included in the article, and other editors can provide feedback and suggestions. The result of that discussion may well be to include the information you proposed, but it would be as the result of community consensus to include it.

It seems you have a good understanding of sourcing information, but as you are new to Wikipedia, it would be a good idea to take a look at the relevant Wikipedia policy.

All the best. — Manti  core  02:18, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia
Hi Balancingakt! Thank you for your edits to CBC News. It looks like you've copied or moved text from Canadian Broadcasting Corporation into that page, and while you are welcome to re-use the content, Wikipedia's licensing requires that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,. If you've copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thanks! DanCherek (talk) 04:03, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

Removing citations
Please don't remove citations just because they have dead URLs in them -- for example, here is one that you removed from Sovereign Military Order of Malta:. Please see WP:OFFLINE: the fact that the URL doesn't work is immaterial. This is a perfectly acceptable citation without the link -- it's got a document name and a page number, which anyone can still use to look up this document just fine. What you're doing is simply erasing references from articles. jp×g🗯️ 06:12, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
