edit Hello, I'm Mountaincirque. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Roy M. Anderson, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page.
Your edits to the page of Roy Anderson seem in good faith but you must add a reference for any content you add. Please see your talk page for some useful guides and links on editing pages and proper referencing. This is important as otherwise your edits will be removed and your work will go to waste, even if it is correct (but unreferenced). I'm happy to help if you want to leave me any questions.

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Roy M. Anderson. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions.
Your significant edits on this page without adding a single reference are at risk of being removed. You need to properly read and understand the rules of Wikipedia before adding further content. Any unsubstantiated content you add will likely be removed in the long-run e.g. that a book is the most highly cited in a field. You also need to take care with weasel words that puff up a subject rather than state fact e.g. 'being an authority' on a subject rather than simply stating their expertise. I would add finally, if you want to make significant changes to a page, the first thing to do usually is post in the Talk page of that page and tell people what you intend to do and why, you will find your edits stick much more when you do that and may find others want to help you (or can propose a different way or reason why your changes aren't appropriate this time). By all means be bold in your edits but you must reference (!), that is rule number one here. Mountaincirque 09:45, 12 November 2020 (UTC)
