  Hello, I'm Donner60. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Battle of Ferozeshah, 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) 04:21, 31 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hello 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 to the page First Anglo-Sikh War did not conform to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may have been removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations verified in reliable, reputable print or online sources or in other reliable media. Always 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.

Thank you for informing me. However, in this case, the reference in question is at the end of the sentence. 183.83.146.18 (talk) 12:29, 8 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
Ok, I will check. When you correct the content based on the cited sources, please write "corrected as per source" or something similar in the edit summary. We cannot allow sourced content to be modified without references to the sources. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 12:44, 8 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm Asartea. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to Baqi Tashqandi—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help desk. Thanks. Asartea Talk | Contribs 15:56, 8 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

I don't get it - all I did was to revert an editor's unconstructive edit (that editor had removed a key, ledeworthy statement). What was wrong? 183.83.146.18 (talk) 15:59, 8 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Baqi Tashqandi. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 16:40, 8 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Materialscientist: It is explained in the body of the article and is ledeworthy. Can I re-insert it? 183.83.146.18 (talk) 16:42, 8 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
