May 2014[edit]

Hello, I'm Makyen. Your recent edit to the page African Methodist Episcopal Church appears to have added incorrect information, so I have removed it for now. If you believe the information was correct, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. 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. — Makyen (talk) 09:34, 12 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize pages by deliberately introducing incorrect information, as you did at African Methodist Episcopal Church, you may be blocked from editing. 2.5 billion members and 7 million congregations are just not reasonable numbers. If you have a citation from a WP:RS, then please include it. — Makyen (talk) 00:03, 14 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's no original research policy by adding your personal analysis or synthesis into articles, as you did at Madam C. J. Walker, you may be blocked from editing. Further, even if you have a citation for the material which you added, it did not belong in the lead (the first paragraph(s)). The lead, among other things, is a brief summary of the content of the article. Generally, if it is not something discussed in the article then it does not belong in the lead. If you have references for this information it may be appropriate for inclusion in the article text. Inclusion depends on a number of factors including, but not limited to, that it is not WP:OR, maintains a WP:NPOV, and is done in a manner to give it undue weight. — Makyen (talk) 00:23, 14 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at [[:African Methodist Episcopal Church and Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church]]. The numbers to which you are changing the congregations (7,000,000) and members (2,500,000,000) listed in the infobox of African Methodist Episcopal Church are extraordinary and require a WP:RS source. The statements you are adding to these two articles about President Barack Obama being a member are contradicted by the source cited at Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church. For your convenience, here is a copy of the citation (which I updated from a dead link with a trivial search on washingtonpost.com):

Harris, Hamil R. (January 20, 2013). "Obamas attend church prior to White House swearing-in - The Washington Post". The Washington Post. Image credits: Hamil Harris/TWP -. Washington DC: WPC. ISSN 0190-8286. OCLC 464372658. Archived from the original on May 14, 2014. Retrieved May 14, 2014. {{cite news}}: Unknown parameter |deadurl= ignored (|url-status= suggested) (help).

Please stop adding erroneous information to articles. — Makyen (talk) 00:30, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sockpuppet investigation opened[edit]

You are suspected of sock puppetry, which means that someone suspects you of using multiple Wikipedia accounts for prohibited purposes. Please make yourself familiar with the notes for the suspect, then respond to the evidence at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/GAP220. Thank you.

Notification to you of this investigation was delayed due to a failure on my part. I apologize for that delay. In the intervening time you have engaged in conversation on my talk page. Thank you for engaging in conversation. It is my hope that your use of two accounts was just a misunderstanding of Wikipedia policies about the use of multiple accounts and was a legitimate desire to change your user name and that it was not just to avoid issues arising from your repeated entry of erroneous information in the African Methodist Episcopal Church article and the warnings I have placed on your user pages. — Makyen (talk) 18:34, 15 May 2014 (UTC); update link to my talk page to reflect spelling correction there. 18:44, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
