Welcome!
[edit]Hello, Wdmichael, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits did not conform to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may have been removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations verified in reliable, reputable print or online sources or in other reliable media. Always provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.

[edit] Hello, I'm Gamaliel. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Jennifer Rubin (journalist), but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. 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! Gamaliel (talk) 16:56, 3 July 2018 (UTC)

[edit] Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Nazism. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Acroterion (talk) 22:43, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
Lack of sources and original research
[edit]A basic Wikipedia policy is WP:VERIFY. You have continually added material to articles without sources meeting that policy or WP:RS. We call this original research, see WP:NOR. Even with sources, some of your edits would have been original research as you appear to be using facts to make a point. Doug Weller talk 11:40, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
Important Notice
[edit]This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
