Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Sons of Confederate Veterans, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. ''You are totally wrong about history, and thus about what is opinion or fact. Your allegation of POV is in fact your own WP:POV in addition to being patently wrong, so stop it. Additionally, these things are already cited by WP:RS because they are so patently obvious. You are violating WP:NOTWEBHOST WP:RS WP:NPOV. Stop editing Wikipedia until you understand these things, as users can be blocked for it.'' — Smuckola(talk) 23:53, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

"Smuckola": there are widely divergent perceptions as to the symbolism inherent in Confederate monuments, etc. To state without qualification that these symbols are "racist" as this article does, only accurately describes the opinion or perceptions of some people, by no means all people. It is not an accurate, contextualized statement of fact. The fact is, some people perceive those monuments as "racist" others do not. I am new to Wiki, so perhaps didn't add or cite the "Charge to the Sons of Confederate Veterans" quote correctly, but it is quite pertinent to the subject as it describes the organization's self-declared mission.
