[edit]

Information icon Hello, I'm Swadge2. I noticed that you recently removed content from People's Socialist Republic of Albania without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

I have just started trying to help fix wikipedia articles. I am sorry if i caused any trouble. I clicked the submission button on accident before i got to explain the changes. Lysentalin (talk) 05:56, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The issue is less that you didn't explain your changes, and more that you removed content that was supported by reliable sources, seemingly because it didn't reflect well on Socialist Albania (political repression, allegations of totalitarianism, secret police, etc.) Yue gives good advice in their reply below. Thanks, Swadge2 (talk) 06:13, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I will add better and more reliable sources when i get the chance tomorrow. Lysentalin (talk) 06:30, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Stop icon This is your only warning; if you remove or blank page contents or templates from Wikipedia again, as you did at Juche, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Yue🌙 05:57, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I did not blank page content? Lysentalin (talk) 05:59, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"Remove or blank." Please read Wikipedia's policies on reliable sourcing. You make it hard for me to keep my assumption of good faith when you immediately restore your problematic edit without addressing my comment, then remove a bunch of content in another article while claiming ignorance. Wikipedia has guidelines but the only one you need to be concerned about is if you make changes to sourced content, you need to provide alternate sources. You cannot just remove a bunch of content without explanation, and your explanation cannot simply be "I am improving the article by getting rid of 'incorrect parts'."

I only realized you could respond to people when Swadge2 messaged me. How do i add the number things to it that bring you to the sources. I will better explain next time. Lysentalin (talk) 06:05, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
