Notables must have sources
[edit]This recent edit to the article for Haddonfield, New Jersey is part of a pattern of edits where you added a notable, but without a source. If you have no evidence that a person was born or lived in the place, why add the entry? If you do have the source, why not add it? Please be sure to add a reference going forward for each such entry you add. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Alansohn (talk) 17:51, 29 May 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits to Rye, New York while logged out. Making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow the use of both an account and an IP address by the same person in the same setting. If this was not your intention, please remember to log in when editing. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 11:16, 8 July 2017 (UTC)

[edit]Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.
When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:
Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Edit summary content is visible in:
Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks! Kendall-K1 (talk) 21:16, 4 August 2017 (UTC)
Persistent failure to add sources
[edit]This edit to the article for Lakeland Regional High School is part of a consistent pattern of edits where you have added a notable, but without a source, despite repeated requests to do so. If you have no evidence that a person was born or lived in the place, why add the entry? If you do have the source, why are you not adding it? Please be sure to add a reference going forward for each such entry you add. Further such unsourced material will be treated as vandalism, as it has been by other editors.
