Hello, I'm Charlesdrakew. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Quakers, 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. Thank you.

Your additions to the Quaker article need more than just citing a 400+ page book for such major changes. For such a massive change containing much conjecture and opinion, you'll need to include page numbers so I and others can verify. Our encyclopedia relies on other editors to verify changes, especially those made by new editors, and it is unrealistic to expect other editors to read the entire book to verify what you have added. I'm going to go ahead and remove them. I should advise you that you have reverted twice. Should you do again in a 24 hour period you can be sanctioned, see: WP:3RR  Marteau (talk) 01:54, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

Hi Charlesdrakew. I am sorry if I've upset you. I am new to Wikipedia and am attending an American Literature course at Brigham Young University. One of our requirements is to add to or create a new wikipedia post covering some important information that is pertinent to our course. I have had a hard time figuring out how to cite things and am slowly working on this. I would love to add page numbers and will do so tonight once I figure out how to. Like I said, I am new to Wikipedia and honestly have never done any of this before. I need to publish this information so that I can receive credit for the information I have added in my American Literature course. Also, I think it provides a healthy addition to the scanty information provided about the Quaker colonial experience.

If I add the page numbers and then try to revert it tonight what will happen? I would love to add the page numbers tonight so I can have it published. Thanks for your help and thanks for watchin for this un-cited information on the internet. There is way too much of it and it makes doing research difficult when nothing is verifiable. Sorry again about being so slow and new to Wikipedia.

Thank you for being so civil and understanding. That was refreshing. Anyway, if you were to put that information back with page numbers without waiting a day, someone might complain (I would not, however). But I don't think anything would happen to you, because an admin would see that you had discussed it. Plus, you would be putting back corrected information, not just simply blindly putting it back. Worst that could happen is you would be blocked for 24 hours, but I don't think even that would happen, due to your discussing it here and asking about it. If it can wait a day, I would, but if not, I doubt anyone would complain. Marteau (talk) 01:54, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

Marteau, I think I will try and wait one day before adding the information. Thank you for your help! Kyzun (talk) 02:23, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
 * If you wish to work up the text before adding it to the live article you may do so in your own sandbox. You will find a link to this at the top of the page near your username. It can then be cut/pasted in later.Charles (talk) 08:26, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
