Welcome!
Hello, Johntratingham, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits to the page Al-Obaidi has not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and has been or will be removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or in other media. Always remember to 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. Additionally, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

Hello, I'm C.Fred. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Al-Obaidi, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Not only are you adding a lot of unsourced material, you're also deleting sources. —C.Fred (talk) 18:53, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Al-Obaidi, you may be blocked from editing. You are removing references and not adding any references for your additions. Bgwhite (talk) 18:53, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
