Hello, I'm ThaddeusSholto. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, 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. Thank you. ThaddeusSholto (talk) 15:56, 2 October 2023 (UTC)


 * I just added a source sorry I didn't know how at first. VeraLynn133 (talk) 15:58, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
 * What you added was a YouTube link to a video of a lecture he give. That cannot possibly verify claims about why the board of trustees fired him, for instance. Please see WP:RS and WP:V. And then you go on to remove information from [Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact]], information which was sourced to three or four articles in academic, peer-reviewed journal.

 * At the beginning of the lecture an eyewitness and professor at the university describes why the board of trustees fired him. It provides important context at the very least. VeraLynn133 (talk) 16:52, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
 * And I fixed the deletion on the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact page. I didn't intend to deleted the whole sentence just the last claim of it being called a "Nazi-Soviet alliance" which only had a source that was unavailable. VeraLynn133 (talk) 17:07, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
 * You were reverted, again, by another editor, for all the right reasons. "This phrasing is clearly added for biased reasons" is ... well it's not OK, it's a personal attack at whoever put that in and a violation of WP:AGF. That a source is not available to you is meaningless; it was, presumably available to the editor who put it there. Drmies (talk) 18:08, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
 * So you can add sources that are unavailable to someone viewing the page because it was "presumably available to the editor who put it there" (what a weak standard of evidence) but I cannot use a firsthand account from a professor at the University where an event occurred as a source?
