 * Simplified Manual of Style

You may also want to complete the Wikipedia Adventure, an interactive tour that will help you learn the basics of editing Wikipedia. You can visit the Teahouse to ask questions or seek help.

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or, and a volunteer should respond shortly. Again, welcome!

You need to please acquaint yourself with our policies on WP:CITE, WP:VERIFY, WP:GNG, and WP:BLP. Thank you.  He  iro 01:56, 7 December 2019 (UTC)


 * I've just looked through your edits. Please take this how I am intending it (as friendly advice), and not as an attack. We need more editors, especially in the field you seem to be interested in. I do not mean to come across as harsh, but I will be blunt. Since you are relatively new, I'm WP:Assuming good faith you just haven't gotten around to learning the ropes yet, and since no one else has apparently given your edits any scrutiny, you may not even know you were violating any rules. Unfortunately, your track record so far hasn't been optimal, to say the least.


 * In your very first edit you either didn't bother to read the citation, or you misrepresented what the source said, because the information is literally in the first several sentences of the first paragraph of that linked citation. Never misrepresent a source.
 * Since then you have never used a WP:CITATION so information you added could be WP:VERIFIED, often inserting information at the end of existing sentences and paragraphs, and in front of existing citations. Examples: 1, 2, and 3 (these last two also violated WP:NPOV and WP:BLP, which because of the potential for lawsuits and generally making the project look bad, is taken VERY seriously here.). Uncited information is frowned upon especially in WP:BLPs (like this one of a prominent political figure), can be removed at any time, and it is the burden of the person insisting on its inclusion to provide a WP:RELIABLE source as a citation.
 * As near as I could tell, all of your other edits consist of adding one persons name to multiple articles, strongly suggesting WP:COI or WP:SELFPROMOTE, something else strongly frowned upon here. If you continue doing this, you will almost certainly be blocked for it.


 * Now, I know all of this probably seems like a little much to take in at once. And even though I have tried not to, I have probably come across too harsh, and if any offence is taken I do apologize, as I said it is not my intent. Some pages here have a lot of involved editors and consequently a lot of them have watchlisted those pages (you can do that to individual articles by clicking the little blue star up by the editing tabs) and some have almost none. But if you keep editing the way you have so far, other editors will notice, you will come into conflict with them, and if you do not edit within the constraints of the rules here your account will probably be blocked from editing. As I said, I hope I have not caused any offense, and I hope you stick around and learn how to work within our many arcane rules for contributing,  He  iro 06:22, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

Per this diff, what part of WP:CITE and WP:VERIFY is unclear to you? You can learn how to do citations here Citing sources.  He  iro 19:17, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

From me: I don't understand how much more citation I need than the sovereign nation's document from the government released publicly. Do you work for WELRP? Makes sense. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kayanishinaabe (talk • contribs)


 * Please sign with 4 tildes, eg ~ . And no, that's not acceptable as a source on Wikipedia, see WP:VERIFY and WP:RS. If after reading those you still think it is, you can go to WP:RSN and argue your case. I don't think the YouTube channel you used is a source meets WP:RS either, same advice applies - if you can find say academics using it as source it mayb be fine.

 * No, I do not work for WELRP, I've never even heard of them. It would be well worth listening to Doug, he is a very experienced editor here.  He  iro 19:32, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

Please assume good faith
Se WP:AGF - suggesting that someone who is much more experienced on Wikipedia and is trying to help you is a paid editor is just not acceptable. Doug Weller talk 19:25, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
