Hello, I'm Meters. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Isaiah Sykes, 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, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Isaiah Sykes. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.
If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing Wikipedia. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. Meters (talk) 23:41, 7 August 2017 (UTC)
Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Isaiah Sykes. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. His parents' names are unsourced and they do not appear to be notable. I fhtey are not notable they don't go in the infobox, and if they are not sourced they do not go in the article at all.

- For that matter, there isn't even a valid infobox field to enter the parents' names, so they will not display in the infobox no matter what. Meters (talk) 23:46, 7 August 2017 (UTC)
