[edit]Hi. Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for working to improve the site with your edit to Harry Melling (actor), as we really appreciate your participation. However, the edit had to be reverted, because Wikipedia cannot accept uncited material. 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. 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.

Please stop adding uncited material to Wikipedia articles, as you have now down a second time with the this edit to the Harry Melling article. It does not matter if the information you assert in your edit summary is true or not. Wikipedia has rules, and they must be followed. 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. The citation needs to be at the end of the supported passage in the article (not in your edit summary), and it needs to be a secondary source independent of Wikipedia. Citing one Wikipedia article as a source in another is circular sourcing, which is not permitted. If that other article has a citation that supports the information, then please add it to the Melling article so that it accompanies your addition. If you need help with this, let me know.
