Hello, I'm Donner60. I noticed that you made a change to an article, War reserve stock, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Donner60 (talk) 03:57, 28 June 2019 (UTC)


 * The following excerpts from Wikipedia pages are relevant to your edit:
 * No original research. "Wikipedia articles must not contain original research. The phrase "original research" (OR) is used on Wikipedia to refer to material—such as facts, allegations, and ideas—for which no reliable, published sources exist. This includes any analysis or synthesis of published material that serves to reach or imply a conclusion not stated by the sources. To demonstrate that you are not adding OR, you must be able to cite reliable, published sources that are directly related to the topic of the article, and directly support the material being presented...."


 * "The prohibition against OR means that all material added to articles must be attributable to a reliable, published source, even if not actually attributed. The verifiability policy says that an inline citation to a reliable source must be provided for all quotations, and for anything challenged or likely to be challenged—but a source must exist even for material that is never challenged."


 * No original research. "Main page: Verifiability. Wikipedia's content is determined by previously published information rather than by the personal beliefs or experiences of its editors. Even if you're sure something is true, it must be verifiable before you can add it. The policy says that all material challenged or likely to be challenged, and all quotations, needs a reliable source; what counts as a reliable source is described at Verifiability."


 * Verifiability. "Base articles on reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. Source material must have been published, the definition of which for our purposes is "made available to the public in some form". Unpublished materials are not considered reliable."


 * Verifiability. "All content must be verifiable. The burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material, and is satisfied by providing an inline citation to a reliable source that directly supports the contribution."


 * Helpful information about editing Wikipedia can be found on various Wikipedia guideline and policy pages including: Help:Getting started; Introduction; Simplified ruleset; Simplified Manual of Style; Referencing for beginners; Identifying reliable sources; Citing sources; Help:Footnotes; Verifiability; No original research; Neutral point of view; Notability; Biographies of living persons; What Wikipedia is not; Manual of Style/Words to watch; Help:Introduction to talk pages; Copyright Problems and Help:Contents.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at User talk:Donner60. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Donner60 (talk) 04:20, 28 June 2019 (UTC)


 * The only edit you left on my page was to vandalize a link to one of my archive pages. Also, I left you direct quotations to show you why your edit was reverted and what you needed to do to support it. I know many service people and belong to an organization which has many members from US armed forces. If you are truly a warrant officer, I am quite disappointed in you. I have not experienced such an uncharacteristic action from service people on Wikipedia or off. If you have a published source in support of your edit, you are free to add it but in the third person as a description of the source, which you need to cite. Donner60 (talk) 04:25, 28 June 2019 (UTC)
