Hello, I'm C.Fred. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Harry Woods (Illinois politician), 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. —C.Fred (talk) 02:31, 13 February 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Harry Woods (Illinois politician), as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 02:34, 13 February 2018 (UTC)

Look, I'm sorry, but your edits are likely to be reverted again because your formatting is so faulty--and then those references aren't correct either: they are incomplete: newspaper articles need titles and page numbers, for instance. Sorry, but that's really elementary. I strongly suggest you read WP:CITE and practice (using preview) before you get reverted again, and that you insert complete citations.

It's a bad idea to edit an article about a family member
Hello, Senorterry. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article Harry Woods (Illinois politician), you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. Editing for the purpose of advertising or promotion is not permitted. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the request edit template);
 * disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID). Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 21:56, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
