Thank you for contributing to the article
Inventory. However, please do not use unreliable sources such as blogs, your own website, websites and publications with a poor reputation for checking the facts or with no editorial oversight, expressing views that are widely acknowledged as extremist, that are promotional in nature, or that rely heavily on rumors and personal opinions, as one of Wikipedia's core policies is that contributions must be
verifiable through
reliable sources, preferably using
inline citations. If you require further assistance, please look at
Help:Menu/Editing Wikipedia, or ask at the
Teahouse. Thank you.

Please stop. If you continue to add inappropriate
external links to Wikipedia, as you did at
Inventory, you may be
blocked from editing. It is considered
spamming and
Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses
nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings.

Links to unreliable sources are not suitable as references. Unreliable sources include web sites where anyone can post anything they like, such as Wikipedia, Facebook, blogs, etc. See
Wikipedia:Reliable sources to see what kind of thing is acceptable.

Wikipedia does not give preference to any national variety of English over others. In some cases there is a good reason for using one national variety; for example in the article
Winston Churchill it makes sense to use British English, while in the article
San Fransisco it makes sense to use US English. However, when there is no such specific reason for preferring one version, it is not acceptable to change content of an article to comply with one's own preferences.

Please don't try to correct English. Apart from cases where your attempt to "correct" English has related to different national styles, as described above, almost every change you have made has in fact replaced correct English with incorrect English.

Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted.
If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you should review the guide to appealing blocks, and then appeal your block by adding the following text below this notice:
{{
unblock|Your reason here ~~~~}}. Note that anything you post in your unblock request will be public, so you may alternatively use the
Unblock Ticket Request System to submit an appeal if it contains information that must be private.Administrators: Checkusers have access to confidential system logs not accessible by the public or by administrators due to the Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy. You must not loosen or remove this block, or issue an IP block exemption, without consulting with a checkuser or the Arbitration Committee. Administrators who undo checkuser blocks without permission from a checkuser or the Arbitration Committee may be summarily desysopped.
