Removing sourced material
Hello, I'm Ohnoitsjamie. I noticed that you recently removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

 * I did describe my changes. They were in the edit history. Is there another place I’m supposed to describe them? I’ve made a topic on your page if you want to discuss further. Thedinnerdate (talk) 15:18, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I posted this source in the edit summary. You'll find that it supports the material that you removed. Please do not remove it again. OhNo itsJamie Talk 15:29, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
 * “he was busted in August 2015 for attempted kidnapping after he was seen dragging a 7-year-old girl down an Inwood street. He pled guilty to endangering the welfare of a child and was sentenced to four months in jail.”
 * Apologies if this sounds argumentative but how does this qualify as a source? There is no citation in that article to where they found that information. Vice news also reports that this is a rumor that was created on 4chan. Should we cite that after this claim? Thedinnerdate (talk) 15:36, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
 * New York Daily News is listed in WP:RSP as "generally reliable"; we don't require such sources to cite their own sources. There is no consensus as to the reliability of Vice, per WP:VICE. Furthermore, the Vice article does not suggest that 4chan invented the charge, but rather that Vice could not confirm it. You are free to take your concerns to Talk:Killing of Jordan Neely.

 * It’s quite an allegation to pin without a hard source. Usually on Wikipedia these citations link to “NY man arrested in…” type articles but this is a small paragraph inside of a large article. Like, I can’t find an actual source for this anywhere. Do you not think that is at all strange? Or at least warrants a closer look? Thedinnerdate (talk) 16:08, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
