Hello, I'm Awesome Aasim. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions&#32;to Gamma Phi Beta have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse. Thanks. Aasim 22:59, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Gamma Phi Beta, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. David Brooks (talk) 23:09, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

I literally am a member of the sorority and am the source. Stop changing my additions. Forbiddenflyers (talk) 23:11, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
 * We cannot use personal experiences and knowledge as a source as it's original research and not verifiable as is required by policy. Please ensure the material you add is supported by reliable sources.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 23:18, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

Jesus I added it. Thats a stupid policy Forbiddenflyers (talk) 23:20, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
 * If our policies regarding verifiability didn't exist anyone could add just about anything to an article and argue that they know it to be true. What if I were to add "Gamma Phi Beta's symbol is a green leaf, while the flower is the red tulip. The official stone is the aquamarine" and told anyone who questioned its veracity that I'm the source and to stop challenging me? Our policies are necessary to ensure readers can verify the content that's included in articles. Thank you for adding your a source.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 23:28, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

Your limiting the amount of information available, that's why. Consider changing it or adding an option for self verification. Forbiddenflyers (talk) 23:29, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
 * The policies limit the amount of potentially incorrect information available. If you don't understand why it's imperative for information to be verifiable, then you miss the point of this project; it's actually one of the five fundamental principles of the encyclopedia.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 16:26, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
