Welcome!

Hello, Seashell414, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits did not conform to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may have been removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations verified in reliable, reputable print or online sources or in other reliable media. Always provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Adding unsourced material

Hello and welcome! Just a note to follow the above: adding collections to articles is fine, but adding them without sources is not. All material on Wikipedia needs to be verifiable. Do you have a source for items like this edit?ThatMontrealIP (talk) 20:44, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@ThatMontrealIP: it seems from here and, specifically here, that this editor's sources could (all) be at kiarts. Seashell414, it would be best if you could cite a source each time as you did at Olga Albizu's. Regards, Mercy11 (talk) 04:09, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Mercy11: unfortunately the focus on the Kalamazoo museum extends to this edit that removed other (sourced) collections. I also note that the user's contribs (about 100 or so) are all about the same thing: adding the Kalamazoo museum. Seashell414, are you connected to the museum in any way?

Seashell414- Yes, I am an intern there working on a project. I am trying to backtrack and add sources. Many museums don't add sources to their collections section, so I thought it would be okay if I didn't source it. It's frustrating that other museums don't cite an item by the artist in their collection, yet remain on the list. It's unfair.

The formatting for many collections sections is rough, so I tried to clean it up. Make it easier to read.
