Welcome!
Hello, Thomas Belford, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and has been or will be removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or in other media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. Additionally, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

Hello, I'm Optakeover. I noticed that you made an edit to a biography of a living person, Brother Stair, but you didn’t support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Optakeover (U)(T)(C) 13:58, 3 November 2017 (UTC)

Please do not add or significantly change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Optakeover (U)(T)(C) 14:15, 3 November 2017 (UTC)

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Brother Stair. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. -KAP03(Talk &bull;&#32;Contributions &bull;&#32;Email) 14:19, 3 November 2017 (UTC)

Everything I included in my edit is verifiable through local news agencies as well as the Colleton County Sheriff's Department. I was in the process of adding links with current stories concerning brother stair and these allegations when you deleted my edit.
