Hello, I'm Discospinster. I noticed that you recently removed content from Battle of James Island (1865) without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. ... disco spinster   talk  22:03, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

Hi, I'm Fin 22. I noticed you made an edit to Battle of James Island (1865). We welcome contributions, but ask that you keep them in-line with the existing article's format. It is inappropriate to restart an entire article merely because you believe you have some additional information to add. Try to integrate new information into the existing structure. Please also note that wikipedia has a specific method of referencing, involving endnotes, as opposed to in-line citations. I would recommend reading this page if you're confused. ƒin (talk) 05:43, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

JerrySun333333, you will note that I have reverted your contributions at Battle of James Island (1865). I appreciate that you felt the need to contribute to Wikipedia after writing a school essay. However, you replaced sourced material with prose unsourced by inline citations — see Wikipedia's verifiability policy. Always provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.
