Three things
Hi, thanks for your edits. However, there are thee things I have noticed about your editing that are against Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.


 * 1) Bolding text outside of the lede section of an article for denoting the page name is commonly frowned upon here and is against the manual of style, so please make sure you keep bold text
 * 2) References! Make sure to cite your edits from newspapers if you can
 * 3) BLM links - they are not relevant to geographical locations, so please do not add them. Doing so is a violation of both Wikipedia's promotional and spam links guidelines.

Other than this, thank you for your constructive edits! Happy editing :) Ed6767  talk!  16:18, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I am so sorry, I misinterpreted BLM.gov as links to the black lives matter website! D'oh :( I'm sorry about that, please ignore the last point and the warning - I'll restore the edit I removed. Ed6767  talk!  16:20, 23 June 2020 (UTC)

Edits to Wikipedia, such as your edit to the page Draft:Cottonwood Point Wilderness, may not contain material from copyrighted sources unless used with permission.

Content that does not comply with this legal rule must be removed. For more information on this, see:
 * Copying text from other sources
 * Policy on copyright

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Delamar Mountains, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bajada ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Delamar_Mountains check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Delamar_Mountains?client=notify fix with Dab solver]).
