  Hello, I'm Thomas.W. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Oceana High School (California), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

  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)

I noticed your recent edit to Terra Nova High School (California) does not have an edit summary. Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

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.

  Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edits to Colgate University, please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made, reduces edit conflicts, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the article will look like without actually saving it.

 
The "show preview" button is right next to the "save page" button and below the edit summary field.

It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you. Contributor321 (talk) 03:36, 9 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced.

Greensboro Massacre

edit

Hello Jpesch95, thank you for your interest in this article, and your willingness to contribute. Unfortunately, the narrative of aggressor/victim that you advance is a POV position not supported by findings of two lengthy trials and separate jury decisions, and was reverted. In those trials the confrontation was determined to be a form of mutual combat, where both sides where held equally responsible for both the hostile rhetoric preceding the events and the tragic outcome. The trials never established who shot first, and the video we have used to support the fact of a confrontation is not comprehensive enough to draw the conclusions you reached. In looking for best sourcing for an article, it is usually a judgement call as to which publication or which independent source might present the most credible viewpoint. We find that happening from time to time with this particular subject, when editors cite an alternative news source or a scribe who may have tried to chronicle local events for museums or even university archives. Those collections are most helpful in preserving documents and other forms of evidence, but the opinion expressed by some of those individuals are not always objective, and never carry the same weight as the extensive investigations by both state and federal prosecution teams, and the ultimate determinations rendered by separate juries after lengthy trials where the rules of evidence often challenge and exclude opinions and biased conclusions unsupported by the facts. I am sorry to undue your hard work, and I hope it will not discourage you from future contributions. Gulbenk (talk) 01:12, 16 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Sockpuppet investigation

edit
 

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/Jpesch95, 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.
