United States Postal Inspection Service
I have removed the content you added to the above article, as it appears to have been copied from http://postalmuseumblog.si.edu/2012/04/the-10-best-postal-movies.html, a copyright web page. All content you add to Wikipedia must be written in your own words. Please let me know if you have any questions or if you think I made a mistake. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 21:41, 24 September 2016 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Magnolia677. I noticed that you made a change to an article, United States Border Patrol, 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.

Re: First live performance of "Take Five" at the Village Gate nightclub, NYC, in 1959 - request for more info
Thanks for this assertion that you made at 17:35 on 26 March 2012 on the Take Five Wiki page but could you please at least add a reference for this event, and preferably also a more exact date than '1959' - if you were there(!)? Without a source, your contribution will have to be removed as I can't find confirmation anywhere. Cheers, Birdman euston (talk) 16:33, 11 June 2018 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at United States Border Patrol, you may be blocked from editing. Magnolia677 (talk) 20:42, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 12
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Colt ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/U.S._Immigration_and_Customs_Enforcement check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/U.S._Immigration_and_Customs_Enforcement?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Your firearms edits
Hello, thank you for you edits to the assorted firearms articles, but unfortunately your expertise alone does not qualify as a reliable source of information. Please do not be offended, but as an encyclopedia, we need more verifiable sources of information than someone claiming to be an expert (I am by no means saying your claims are false). Otherwise, anyone could be an "expert" on whatever they wanted, and we would have no idea if the information was truly correct. I have kept most of your additions, but simply tagged them as needing a real source. If you can find a newspaper or magazine article, or some other third-party source for the information, it would be great! If you need any help with the ref work, feel free to leave me a message here or on my talk page. Thank you, and happy editing! - Adolphus79 (talk) 17:03, 21 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Sir, I am not offended. I want to inform you that I am a former U.S. Border Patrol Agent and U.S. I&NS Special Agent. I am currently serving as an H.S.I. Special Agent.  When I submit any edits regarding firearms, etc. regarding these agencies, it is from first hand knowledge and experience.  I was issued a Ruger Speed Six .357 Magnum revolver when I was sworn in as an I&NS Special Agent.  I will look for credible articles to support the edits.   Best regards. Mkshane039 (talk) 21:03, 21 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your service, but sadly, that is what we call original research (first-hand knowledge, while you know it is 100% true, still needs to be verifiable for encyclopedic value). Please see WP:REF for more help with references. Also, adding "Former Agent" as a ref is not helpful at all, try to think about it from the point of view of a random future reader that may want to confirm that statement. We need a specific source that can (preferably) be clicked on to instantly verify this information, or at least the book or newspaper article in which it was published. "Former Agent" could be anyone, anywhere, anytime? Who was this agent? Where did he make this claim? How can we (the random future reader) contact him to verify this claim right now? Y'know? That's why third-party, reliable, published sources are just the best...
 * I know you are trying to do the right thing, and I am trying not to "bite the newbie". Again, feel free to ask if you ever need any help. :) - Adolphus79 (talk) 22:15, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
