Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at 2016 Democratic National Committee email leak. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been undone.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Not a minor edit and you replaced properly sourced material with a twitter feed. Meters (talk) 07:49, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

Please do not add unsourced or original content, as you did with this edit to Neera Tanden. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Jim1138 (talk) 08:36, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

It may not have been your intention, but one of your edits may have introduced material that some consider controversial. Due to this, your edits may have been reverted. When adding material that may be controversial, it is good practice to first discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them, to gain consensus over whether or not to include the text, phrasing, etc. If you believe that the information you added was correct, please initiate that discussion. Thank you. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 14:52, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

In particular, please study our policies related to content about living people, notably WP:BLP, along with our policies on reliable sourcing, WP:RS and WP:V.

Reliable sources

Hi Aheezay. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I wanted to let you know that we have some pretty strict policies about sources. Any material added to articles, especially articles involving living people, must be verifiable in reliable sources. I mention this because I had to remove a couple of edits you made to Podesta emails because they were not properly sourced [1] [2]. Blogs, Twitter feeds, personal websites, and some websites like Salon are not usually usable, especially for controversial content about living people.

A good resource for checking sources is the reliable source noticeboard You can search through previous discussion to see if a source has been discussed in the past, and how the community views its reliability. You can also post a new request to have a source and corresponding content reviewed.

I also recommend consulting article talk pages before making major edits. There you can see if a similar edit has already been discussed, and if it has consensus. You can also propose an edit on the talk page before adding it to the article, getting some support for it first, or advice on how to make it better.

U.S. Political articles are a bit of a minefield to edit (thus the above alert), so please don't be discouraged if a lot of your edits are reverted. Feel free to ask any questions you have and an experienced editor will help you understand our policies and guidelines. Happy editing!- MrX 12:09, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
