Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thanks for your contributions to 2020 Guyanese general election. Here are a few tips on how to improve your editing: Cheers, Number   5  7  09:01, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
 * 1) Direct quotes must have a source in all cases
 * 2) Do not inserts page breaks . This creates unnecessary gaps in the article
 * 3) Do not refer to people as Mr/Ms
 * 4) Use the correct capitalisation, for example "Court injunction" not "Court Injunction"
 * 5) Use the same date format as the rest of the article, which in this case is "28 March", not "March 28"


 * With regards to the citations you are adding, the ones I have looked at do not fully support the claims being made. For the sentence In the evening of 5 March, Mingo appeared at the top of a staircase, surrounded by police, and read out purported results for the final electoral district. you added this source. However, it says nothing about him being surrounded by police. Likewise, this source was used to reference the claim that Agents of the political parties shouted to drown out Mr. Mingo's attempt to declare the results but he persisted. However, it only states that "political party agents erupted in loud protest when the RO started unlawfully pronouncing election results for the region", which is not really the same thing as intending to drown out.
 * Can you please make sure that the text being added is a faithful representation of what sources state. Thanks, Number   5  7  09:56, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

Another request not to insert page breaks into the text – this causes large gaps to appear in the article. Also, your capitalisation is still wrong. In addition, please do not leave spaces between punctuation and references. Your contributions are appreciated, but please note that WP:Competence is required to edit Wikipedia and you are expected to comply with basic requirements like this, particularly after these issue have been pointed out to you.

Referencing
Any statement you make has to be backed by sources, or it can be challenged or removed. I could have deleted your whole addition, because there was not a single source and it dealt with an important subject. In this case, I have added some sources, but normally your edit would have been reverted.

Please read Verifiability and Neutral point of view. It is also wise to refrain to add a long list of names because every single one needs to be sourced and verified. KittenKlub (talk) 17:39, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
