Hello, I'm David Gerard. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Louis Freeh, 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 referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Please do not add deprecated and Generally Unreliable sources to Wikipedia, especially on the biograph of a living person.

Hi Stephencottenberg! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor&#32;at Rahm Emanuel that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. –– F ORMAL D UDE ( talk ) 21:36, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

Minor
Please read wp:minor you are marking all of your edits as minor and many are cleary very major changes.Slatersteven (talk) 10:30, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Please note that going forward, any of your edits that are marked minor that are not actually wp:minor will be reverted regardless of accuracy. --jpgordon&#x1d122;&#x1d106;&#x1D110;&#x1d107; 16:28, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

Or
You might also want to read wp:or and wp:synthesis. I am not sure that some of your recent edits were not violations of one or both of those.Slatersteven (talk) 16:59, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I have to agree some of your edits, specifically on Nancy Pelosi, were not as neutrally worded as they could have been. –– F ORMAL D UDE ( talk ) 15:52, 27 July 2021 (UTC)

Notice

August 2021
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, as you did at Keith Olbermann, you may be blocked from editing. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:43, 21 August 2021 (UTC)
