  Hello, I'm Donner60. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Dan Hicken, 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) 02:05, 29 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

Your edits on David O. McKay may be a problem

edit

Hey, CarolinaPete! Hope all is well with you. I am somewhat concerned about your recent attempts to add a claim to the David O. McKay article about him being some kind of vampire. You have not as yet provided any source to prove the veracity of this claim. I don't know how new you may be to Wikipedia and the policies involved, but for what it may be worth, I wanted to let you know that with your continued efforts to include this material without providing a sufficient source, you may be in danger of violating another Wikipedia policy the three revert rule. Such violations, unintentional though they may be, are often subject to potential blocks for the user(s) involved. Please understand me correctly: I am not threatening you here. I have no authority to impose such a block on you, even if I wished to, which I don't. That's why one of the many reasons I probably will never become an admin here. But a violation of this policy is considered serious, and could create problems for you. I would hate for any Wikipedia user to be blocked because they were not adequately informed about policies. Additionally, I want you to know that my conduct has been questioned many times on Wikipedia. But once I had been advised of the policies I had unintentionally been violating, I tried to change my behavior to match my newfound knowledge. Knowledge is a most powerful thing. It can make or break a person. I am arming you with this knowledge to give you a chance to change for the better. I am always reluctant to report policy violations. I only ever do it when there is no other option. But Wikipedia's policies are in place for a reason, and when violations do happen, they need to be reported if behavior isn't changed. Again, I'm just letting you know what procedure is and what might happen if you choose to continue to try and include this information without a sufficient source or consensus. I suppose if anything, I really don't need to let you know all this. Your change has been reverted many times with the same explanation from a variety of editors. That should have been enough to let you know that the change you were trying to make is a problem unless and until it is sourced. You have a great opportunity to change your behavior. I hope you will make the most of it. That's all I wanted to say today. Thanks for reading this. I wish you every success for your continued Wikipedia editing. --Jgstokes (talk) 07:27, 5 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Sockpuppet investigation

edit
 

Hi. An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/CarolinaPete, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.
