Hello, I'm Doniago. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Killing of Latasha Harlins, 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 review WP:IPCV as well. DonIago (talk) 13:58, 9 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Hello @Doniago!
 * Thank you for bringing this to my attention. As you can see, I am a first time editor.
 * In reference to my edit on Killing of Latasha Harlins, the content I added had a source to a site that other page content also referenced. So I worry about the other content credibility of that article.
 * If the site, genius.com, is not a reliable source, I found other sources as well:
 * https://cap.ucla.edu/archive/events/los_angeles_sings_itself
 * https://soundcloud.com/gabriel-kahane/empireliquormart
 * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_QaK0dE0is
 * I have read the links you provided but I wanted to double-check with you so this doesn't become an issue.
 * If I reference with both the ucla.edu link and the genius.com link, would that be sufficient?
 * Thanks and happy editing,

 * I'm pretty sure Genius.com is a self-published source (i.e. anyone can edit there) meaning that it really shouldn't be being used in citations at all. Really, I think the UCLA link by itself should be sufficient unless it doesn't backup all of the information you're adding? I'm unfamiliar with soundcloud and I'm very leery of using YouTube in citations. Hope this helps! DonIago (talk) 14:59, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for helping this n00b! I will try to republish with the UCLA ref. You've been very kind and accepting. TerminusBorn (talk) 16:47, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Well, I try. I don't always succeed, but I try. :p Also, as I've had a fair number of editors respond to reverts by getting their dander up, thank you for keeping your cool and responding politely rather than taking it personally! Not sure whether you need it or whether it will help, but I'll throw you a few "Welcome" links down below that may be helpful depending on what kinds of edits you're hoping to make going forward; feel free to delete if unwanted/unneeded!
