Hi, what part wasn't constructive? I'll try to learn from this for future edits; all I did was correct his name, so I'm genuinely curious. 96.56.191.50 (talk) 17:00, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The issue was not providing a source for the change in the article.

It seems the issue of Billy the Kid's name remains a matter of some contention; certainly within the book The Authentic Life of Billy, the Kid he is referred to exclusively as having had the real name William H. Bonney, so any change, even a well-sourced one, would need to acknowledge that. AntiDionysius (talk) 17:06, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I didn't know I needed citations for article edits, so that's good to know. 96.56.191.50 (talk) 17:11, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
