Hello, I'm Joyous!. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions&#32;to University of Sunderland have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks. Joyous! Noise! 16:52, 21 January 2024 (UTC)


 * @Joyous! hello, I was wondering about the rules of being a local and changing an article about my city to making it more accurate? NuryatUK (talk) 16:55, 21 January 2024 (UTC)


 * First of all, welcome to Wikipedia. I'm about to drop a "pre-written" welcome message here that contains links to our general policies... (one moment, please) Joyous! Noise! 17:12, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I removed your earlier edit for two reasons: 1) there was no source to confirm the information and 2) it is a very small detail that was added to the lead of the article. That section is intended to give a broad overview of the topic, including the main ideas from the body of the page.
 * I'd recommend a couple of things to keep in mind as you edit (and I really hope you stick around!) It's really best if you can cite your information to a published source. Also, look over the entire article to see where your info is the best fit. Usually, it's not the first paragraph.
 * There are several links in the welcome message that can help you get your footing, as well as the Teahouse link where you can ask questions at any time of day or night to get help from experienced Wikipedians. Joyous! Noise! 17:22, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
 * @Joyous! you can literally go there and no one reports on the thing they give out pamphlets NuryatUK (talk) 17:31, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I understand your frustration 100%. There are things I want to add about various topics but I can't find the documentation that would back up the change. The alternative, though, is that there would be no grounds to challenge any piece of information added, as long as the editor insists "I saw it myself!" Joyous! Noise! 17:40, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
 * @Joyous! just email the university and they will tell you about it, if your case is that no one reported on it then half of wikipedia wouldn't happen! NuryatUK (talk) 17:41, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid that the burden of finding sourcing is on the editor who wants to place the information in the article. The other question I'm wondering is...Is the pamphlet info important enough that it needs to be in the article? Joyous! Noise! 18:02, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
 * @Joyous! yes so that future non-local residents know that they won't have to learn through the very inaccurate translations on the Mackem dialect article on wikipedia NuryatUK (talk) 18:40, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
