Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that your recent edits to Economy of China did not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief.

The edit summary field looks like this:

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting, and then click the "Save" button. Thanks! -- Toddy1 (talk) 19:38, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Toddy1. I noticed that you changed some of the numbers in the article on the Economy of China but you didn't provide a reliable source that supported your changes. Instead you placed your changed numbers against the citations that supported the previous numbers. This goes against our policy of verifiability. Your edit has 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 a message on the relevant article talk pages. Thank you. -- Toddy1 (talk) 19:38, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Economy of China, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. We go with what the cited source says. -- Toddy1 (talk) 21:53, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
