I was just correcting false information and cited my sources. Keetocheeto (talk) 23:40, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

Some suggestions.
Your block will expire in a few hours, and I have a few suggestions for you to avoid being blocked again in the future. The first is never to add or change information to the encyclopedia without citing a source. You should read WP:sources to learn a bit about why this is so, as well as what kinds of sources are considered sufficiently reliable to support information included here. Second, you can't just mention the source in passing in your edit summary. You have to edit the article so that it appears as a footnote to whatever fact you're including. Help:Referencing_for_beginners is a good place to see what that entails. Third, you must read and understand the context into which you're adding the new information. The new information you're trying to add may not fit in the place you're trying to add it, or may contradict something that's already there, and you shouldn't do that. So for example, a couple of years ago you changed the name of an airline at Denver International Airport from US Airways to American despite a note in the source code that said, "Do not change the name of the airline from US Airways to American" until certain circumstances are true - which weren't, at the time. More recently, when you attempted to change LDS statistics in the Washington, DC, article, you simply dropped in new figures, with a different source, into the middle of a table with lots of statistics for lots of religions that expressly said it reflected a particular, unified study. And so - even assuming that the source you offered was reliable, and its figures unassailable, you had created a table that showed figures from different years, and different sources, meaning that the table could no longer even be compared with itself. When you insistently add information that doesn't have a source, or makes an article self-contradictory, or inconsistent, it looks like you're either messing with the encyclopedia on purpose; or are paying so little attention to what you are doing, that it amounts to about the same thing. And so if you keep it up - you'll quickly be blocked forever.

If you're serious about helping, probably the smartest thing for you to do going forward, until you can internalize these policies and processes, is rather than make these edits yourself, go to the article Talk page and open a discussion there about what you think should be done. Other editors will be able to weigh your suggestion and decide whether it's appropriate or not. This is certainly a bit more cumbersome than doing it all yourself, but it is better than a permanent block (which will come to pass if you keep up the way you've been going so far). I hope this is helpful. JohnInDC (talk) 13:12, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
