Contributions to Chiapas conflict
[edit]Hi Gallen21, I've tagged the article Chiapas conflict with having areas for improvement. All of my comments have to do with the inclusion of unreferenced information, sometimes entire paragraphs and sections. Looking through the edit history, I can see that, at times, your edits included removing references from cited material. Wikipedia depends on reliable sources for verifiability. Content that is not supported with references is in danger of getting deleted, so I encourage you to add references to the article. After almost every sentence you should have a citation; if multiple sentences come from the same source, then you can have one citation at the end of all content that comes from the same source. Therefore, at bare minimum, each paragraph should have at least one source. Thanks, Elysia (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:09, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
@Elysia (Wiki Ed): Thank you for your edits and comments, they're much appreciated as I am rather new to Wikipedia. However, the sources I removed were only dead links or did not speak to the topic of the article. I have since added sources to some of the unsourced sections (which were there before I got to work on this article), but have not yet finished adding sources for everything. I've focused the bulk of my time on adding sources to some of the sections that I have found more information on, and adding this information to the article instead of citing these other sections. Thanks again for the feedback. Gallen21 (talk) 14:46, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for November 19
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Chiapas conflict, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mayan (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
