Hello, I'm IamNotU. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Afro-Dominicans, 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 the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. ''In this edit: and others, you changed population statistics figures that are clearly verified in the cited sources, without providing any other sources. Please see also the no original research policy. Thank-you.'' IamNotU (talk) 14:47, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

We can't use your knowledge or information here
You've been asked to read WP:NOR but it doesn't appear that you have. And WP:VERIFY. We use only reliably published information - WP:RS also helps clarify that. Doug Weller talk 05:29, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi Officialdez, please see Expert editors and Help:Wikipedia editing for researchers, scholars, and academics for more information that may apply to your situation. I do understand that African ancestry is often under-reported in Latin American countries. Were the studies you were involved with published, ideally in a peer-reviewed journal or a book from an academic publisher? If so, please provide a citation. If not, I'm afraid we can't use the information, as Wikipedia only summarizes information that is published in other reliable sources. It does not accept original unpublished data from researchers. Also, it's very important that you don't continue to repeat the same edit when someone else reverts or undoes one of yours. You are expected to discuss it on the article's talk page. See WP:BRD. Thanks. --IamNotU (talk) 13:38, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
