Hello, I'm GermanJoe. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Junior Science Talent Search Examination, 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. ''-- I have also removed the announcement for the new exam date. Wikipedia is generally not a venue for such announcements, scheduling and similar data.''

No announcements and event scheduling
Hello Djsnape, Wikipedia as an encyclopedia should focus on lasting encyclopedic information. So annual scheduling announcements about upcoming events (or other service news) are generally not appropriate. Please do not insert such routine schedule information into Wikipedia articles. Thank you for your consideration. GermanJoe (talk) 18:16, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
