Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Religion in Eritrea, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Donner60 (talk) 04:08, 10 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Your edits are spoiling the footnotes. Please see Citing sources and Help:Footnotes for help.


 * Helpful information about editing Wikipedia can be found on various Wikipedia guideline and policy pages including: Help:Getting started; Introduction; Simplified ruleset; Simplified Manual of Style; Referencing for beginners; Identifying reliable sources; Citing sources; Help:Footnotes; Verifiability; No original research; Neutral point of view; Notability; Biographies of living persons; What Wikipedia is not; Manual of Style/Words to watch; Help:Introduction to talk pages; Copyright Problems and Help:Contents. Thank you. Donner60 (talk) 04:11, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Donner60. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Religion in Eritrea have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help Desk. Thanks. Donner60 (talk) 04:19, 10 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Please look at the result of your edits in the footnote and also compare to the prior footnote. Your edits are spoiling the footnote. They do not conform to the Manual of Style. Look further at the the Wikipedia pages cited by me above. Thank you. Donner60 (talk) 04:19, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Eritrea, you may be blocked from editing. Donner60 (talk) 04:22, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.


 * If the footnote is incorrect, correct it as shown in the help or citing sources pages. If it is not incorrect, your change is simply disruptive and has a suspicion of promoting a certain publication. Please take the time to do this right. It is not that difficult. Otherwise, it appears you are not here to help build the encyclopedia and clarify the articles. Donner60 (talk) 04:25, 10 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Comments should not be placed in the text of articles. You may express comments about the content of the article and needed improvements or ask for comments or help on the article's talk page. See Help:Introduction to talk pages, Help:Using talk pages and Talk page guidelines. Also, it violates Neutral point of view to attempt to alter existing sourced text and citations to push an alternate point of view. If there is a legitimate alternate point of view, it may be added, with citations to a reliable, verifiable, neutral, third party source, without altering or deleting the source text or references. Simply spoiling a reference will not accomplish your objective because it would then contain no link or other identifying information.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize or disrupt Wikipedia or fail to follow Wikipedia policies and guidelines, as you did again at Eritrea. Donner60 (talk) 04:34, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
