Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to United States Navy Strike Fighter Tactics Instructor program, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. - ^theWOLFchild 18:42, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

My contributions ought not to have been deleted. They can be sourced to the book TOPGUN: An American Story by Dan Pedersen. I was fortunate to obtain an early review copy of this book. The book supports everything I added to the page, which is pertinent, valuable information. User:Leftdefense Leftdefense (talk) 16:41, 18 October 2018 (UTC)Leftdefense

Hello, I'm I dream of horses. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Identity politics seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.  I dream of horses  If you reply here, please ping me by adding {{U|I dream of horses}} to your message  (talk to me) (My edits) @ 19:08, 21 July 2019 (UTC)
