Your removal of valid sources
Hello, I'm Ravenswing. Over the last two months, you've removed a great deal of content. In many instances, you've removed valid sources (and often the sourced information as well) with an edit summary of "Cannot be verified" or somesuch.

You shouldn't be doing this; there is a great difference between a source that legitimately doesn't exist, and one which on a cursory glance you haven't found ... or in more than one case was an active link stating what the article claimed it stated. An especially egregious error is this edit:, in which you claim that the appointment of Sylvanus Thayer -- a highly notable historical figure who is synonymous with the institution -- to the superintendency of West Point "cannot be verified." I can only imagine the issue you had with the source was that it was a book that you didn't have at your fingertips at the time. This is not a valid reason, per WP:SOURCEACCESS, for removing a source. Sources need not be available online, and they need not be in the English language (per WP:NOENG), as was the case with a source you removed from one of Voltaire's works.

Many of these edits of yours have been reverted, by me as well as by other editors. My suggestion to you is that you begin using the talk pages of articles to ask before you remove such a source, going forward, and that you engage in some research of your own -- which you ought to be doing as a matter of course.

If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page.   Ravenswing   09:47, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you make personal attacks on other people, as you did at User talk:Ravenswing, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Comment on content, not on fellow editors.   Ravenswing   08:04, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
