Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Hershel Schachter, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. StonyBrook _babble 20:23, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Philipnelson99. I noticed that in this edit to Miriam Adelson, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Philipnelson99 (talk) 04:40, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I made a mistake in not explaining. I started with one edit, and it all snowballed from there, so I think I forgot to log the reasons as I went. I made this edit because it is explained in detail later on the page, so I thought it tautological to include it here as well, especially since it is a brief bio.

It is best to discuss this on the article talk page. There are others who feel that it is important to have at least some of what you removed to still be in the lead. Peaceray (talk) 17:47, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Miriam Adelson. Your edits do not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use your sandbox. Modern day Israel did not exist until 1948. Your edit also did not reflect the source, [https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/jan/07/meet-dr-miriam-adelson-the-record-breaking-republican-donor-driving-trumps-israel-policy that states Miriam Ochshorn Adelson [...] was born in Tel Aviv in what was then the British Mandate of Palestine. Please consider the WP:VNT essay, which states in a nut graph: Editors may not add content solely because they believe it is true, nor delete content they believe to be untrue, unless they have verified beforehand with a reliable source.
