Hello, I'm MtBotany. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Taxus baccata, 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. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. In addition the information was not well placed in the article, if you locate a source for the information please place medical information in the Medical section rather than in the head of the Uses section.

I noticed you have added unsourced information to many other pages including: Roman dodecahedron, Open-field system, Battle of Crécy, and Alnus incana. I removed the most recent ones that I have mentioned here, but they seem like interesting good faith edits. You just need to actually provide a source that proves what you add to Wikipedia. I realize that many articles are unsourced or poorly sourced, but that is not an excuse for adding information, particularly information about foods from poisonous plants that could potentially harm people like eating Yew berries without sources safe consumption practices. 🌿MtBotany (talk) 18:17, 18 November 2023 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Comptonia peregrina, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. You specifically said the fern species improves dry soils. I think your edit is well intentioned, but by not finding a source you introduced an error since sources say that it establishes in wet soils and is tolerant of drought, rather than being adapted to dry conditions. Please confirm what you know and do not add to the many, many unsourced statements on Wikipedia. 🌿 Mt B o t a n y (talk) 15:09, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
