Adding unsourced material
I have reverted a number of your recent edits on the basis that they introduced unsourced statements to (usually) the lead or summary of the article. The proper way to do this is to have a reliable source that you can cite to back up the statement and add this sourced statement, with its reference, to the body of the article. In some cases, you can write the summary as making a statement in Wikipedia's voice, if there's strong mainstream support for that position, but on more contentious topics, you should confine your additions to representing a particular person or body's point of view.

I realize that this seems a convoluted way to go about stating what, to you, are obvious truths, but it's the way Wikipedia has of dealing with differences in viewpoints. Also, for edits like the ones you've been attempting, I suggest bringing up the change on the talk page of the article to see what other editors think. Working with them, you may be able to come up with some consensus wording that satisfies all parties.  &mdash; jmcgnh  (talk) (contribs)  04:17, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
