[edit]

Hi. Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for working to improve the site with your edit to David Alan Mack, as we really appreciate your participation. However, the edit had to be reverted, for the following reasons:

First, Wikipedia is not a periodical but an encyclopedia. Among other things, this means that it should be written in with timeless wording whenever possible, and not with dated terms like "current". While adding more recent works is perfectly legit, this does not mean that you remove earlier ones. To be fair, you're not being singled out here, since the article already included the phrase "most recent", which should have been reworded for the same reason.

Second, the material you added was not accompanied by citations. Wikipedia requires that the material in its articles be accompanied by reliable, verifiable (usually secondary) sources explicitly cited in the article text in the form of an inline citation, which you can learn to make here. Citing a primary source like the subject's own website is not appropriate.

If you ever have any other questions about editing, or need help regarding the site's policies, just let me know by leaving a message for me in a new section at the bottom of my talk page. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 02:51, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
