Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions, such as your edit to the page List of Kappa Alpha Psi members, have removed content without a good reason to do so. Content on Wikipedia should not be removed just because you disagree with it or because you think it's wrong, unless the claim is not verifiable. Instead, you should consider expanding the article with noteworthy and verifiable information of your own, citing reliable sources when you do so. If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so in the sandbox rather than in articles. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Simplified Manual of Style
 * Task Center – need some ideas of what kind of things need doing? Go here.

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! —C.Fred (talk) 18:01, 23 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello Mr. Fred. I did NOT remove any info !  I would not do such a thing.  I actually ADDED information that was helpful to the overall article.  Your website is not formatted correctly and thats why its looking as if information was removed.  When you allow people to contribute information, there needs to be a way that the information can be added while still preserving the format of the page/article.

 * Looking at the logs, you deleted about 90% of the list! —C.Fred (talk) 20:01, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
 * No, not me sir, you have me confused with someone else ! When I published the post, all the content was still there, just not in the table format, but written out in paragraph format. Ers18619 (talk) 20:38, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Not in this version of the page, it wasn't. However, we've gotten it fixed now, and I've cleaned up the formatting of the reference for Lance Gross (and put him in alphabetical order). —C.Fred (talk) 21:00, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Ok great, Thank You Mr. Fred. How about the one I added for Ryan Clark ? 2600:1702:57F0:5EE0:9944:492A:EE29:E135 (talk) 13:42, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I don't see where (either of) you have added anything new for Clark, since I removed him because the source didn't verify his membership. —C.Fred (talk) 18:42, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Oh ok, he is definitely a member, I will try adding him again 2600:1702:57F0:5EE0:4C56:9C1:7211:8FF4 (talk) 19:52, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi Mr. Fred, I've added Ryan Clark to the NFL list, everything is formatted this time, looks like it just needs your approval 2600:1702:57F0:5EE0:4C56:9C1:7211:8FF4 (talk) 20:06, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
 * The issue is the sourcing. It's sourced to a story at a radio station site but without good indication of who wrote it. It's hard to tell if this was prepared by a journalist who did research or if it's a recycled listicle. That's why the source has been challenged (twice) by another editor and the listing removed. —C.Fred (talk) 20:33, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Ok got it 2600:1702:57F0:5EE0:4C56:9C1:7211:8FF4 (talk) 20:48, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
 * If you google it, you will see many references proving my addition but ok got it 2600:1702:57F0:5EE0:4C56:9C1:7211:8FF4 (talk) 20:49, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
 * If there are other sources out there that are reliable sources, then mention them here. —C.Fred (talk) 20:52, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank You, here is one directly from the organization. I highly doubt they would feature him in their magazine if he is not a member.  The reference is:
 * https://online.flippingbook.com/view/1002171417/12/ 2600:1702:57F0:5EE0:4C56:9C1:7211:8FF4 (talk) 20:54, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
 * ✅ Since the issue at hand is his membership, then the organization's self-published source works to support a claim that they recognize him as a member. —C.Fred (talk) 21:06, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Ok great, Thank You very much Mr. Fred for all your help, hope you have a wonderful day ! 2600:1702:57F0:5EE0:206F:CF:2C24:262 (talk) 13:31, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. However, please do not use unreliable sources such as blogs, wikis, personal websites, and websites and publications with a poor reputation for checking the facts or with no editorial oversight. These sources may express views that are widely acknowledged as pushing a particular point-of-view, sometimes even extremist, being promotional in nature, or relying heavily on rumors and personal opinions. One of Wikipedia's core policies is that contributions must be verifiable through reliable sources, preferably using inline citations. If you require further assistance, please look at Help:Menu/Editing Wikipedia, or ask at the Teahouse. Thank you. MrOllie (talk) 20:04, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
