Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that in this edit to Arab sign-language family, 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. Materialscientist (talk) 13:33, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Materialscientist: Hello, I did remove one of the references for this article since I realised that two of the references were extremely similar, but I must've forgotten to write an edit summary. My apologies and thank you for letting me know. However, i did notice that the paragraph I wrote had been removed. Is it because of the unexplained content removal?
