Removing Unsourced Content, Proper Sourcing, and Hoaxes
Hey Guus de grafgraver graaf je graf,

I came here because of the edits you made on Atlantic herring. These were summarized as removing unsourced content, but they left the article in a worse state than it was in when you started. First off, content in the lead section of an article does not need to be sourced if it's sourced in the body. Second off, it is not always necessary or appropriate to delete content simply because it lacks clear citations. If the claim is not about a living person and it is not particularly unlikely to be true (just unverified), it is better to find sources and cite them, or failing that, to tag material as needing citations.

I initially planned on making this a welcome+FYI type message, but then I noticed. "Hararpolydium" is quite clearly something you made up. Consider this a formal warning that continued behavior like this will result in the loss of editing privileges on Wikipedia. Dylnuge (Talk • Edits) 18:28, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
