Welcome!
Hello, Marty5550, 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 did not conform to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may have been removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations verified in reliable, reputable print or online sources or in other reliable media. Always 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.

Edits to Greta Thunberg article
Regarding your edits on the English Greta Thunberg article, you probably realise that information can't be added to Wikipedia without citations and references. Internal citations or references to Wikipedia, even of other languages, can't be used for obvious reasons. Her full names have been added a few times already, contested and removed, and it will happen again. I have personally looked for any mainstream websites which might list her full names and have found none. Unless you can provide legitimate references to recognised news or information sites, the material you added will be contested and removed. It's not personal, but you need to understand that Greta is an extremely contentious subject and there are editors who will use any excuse to remove content because they are negatively disposed towards her or her cause. Some of us are put in the position of defending anything positive or even neutral which is added in order to maintain a balanced and fair article. So please help us to keep the content intact by providing the references we need when you add new content. Thanks. Cadar (talk) 20:38, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi! I have to restate the key point from the above - and like Cadar, I have checked a sampling of 10 references from the English, and 5 from the Swedish, article, and none contain this alleged full name. So it simply can't be added without factual support. Even if there were backing, I think there would be a real question about relevance. Your wish to help is appreciated, and I do hope you find other things you'd like to help with; Wikipedia needs you, and all willing editors. Good luck!SeoR (talk) 07:27, 14 May 2019 (UTC)
 * I'd like to apologise for not leaving you a personal note earlier: I hadn't spotted that it was your first edit that I was reverting. I agree with the others above – the reason I undid your edit was that I couldn't find a reliable source to reference the names to.  If you can find one – either in English or in Swedish – that would be great.  Best wishes, Wham2001 (talk) 07:57, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

Please do not use styles that are unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in Roald Dahl. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. ''

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. In your recent edit to Roald Dahl, you added links to an article which did not add content or meaning, or repeated the same link several times throughout the article. Please see Wikipedia's guideline on links to avoid overlinking. Thank you. DonIago (talk) 14:22, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at Stefan Molyneux, you may be blocked from editing. Doug Weller talk 18:03, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

I didn't delete anything! I simply moved a quote from the Background section in the lead section. What is the problem? Marty5550 (talk) 19:21, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

And I changed the other quote by fixing the ellipsis to be grammatically correct. I don't see anything "disruptive" in that. Marty5550 (talk) 19:25, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
