Hello, I'm
Magnolia677. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article,
Chariton, Iowa, but you didn't provide a
reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to
include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at
referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on
my talk page. Thank you.

Thank you for the message on my talk page. Please don't be discouraged by the angry tone of Wikipedia. What often frustrates new editors is that there are very particular ways of doing things on Wikipedia, and more experienced editors will quickly revert you if you don't follow the rules. All the policies and guidelines are intended to maintain a professional, encyclopedic style and tone, but for new editors who are just eager to add information it gets frustrating. Please don't be discouraged. If you like to write and have information to add which will improve Wikipedia for its readers (this is very important), then this is a wonderful hobby. I have added a detailed welcome template above. You don't have to read every link, but the most important ones are WP:V and WP:OR, which both say you can't add information to Wikipedia that cannot be supported by a reliable source. This is frustrating for people who have lots of personal knowledge, but these two policies assure Wikipedia remains a trusted source of information for its readers. Also, when editing cities in the United States, editors follow WP:USCITIES. I urge you to stick around, and if you need help, there are links above to various help forums, or feel free to ping me to this talk page by adding {{ping|Magnolia677}} at the start of your message. Cheers. Magnolia677 ( talk) 09:54, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi Jeffshusband! Sorry I reverted one of your edits, but I thought it best. Here's an essay page you might find useful: Wikipedia:Personal security practices. Regards, -- Technopat ( talk) 15:11, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

Accounts cannot be deleted. You can do, as the other editor suggested, just stop editing and retire. You can also follow the instructions in WP:VANISH if you wish. Finally, please do not include personal identifying information on Wikipedia. I've removed what you posted to the other editor's Talk page. If you have further questions, you can ask them at the WP:Teahouse.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 22:56, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
