Please remember to post new topics at the bottom of this page, and to sign your message with four tildes (~~~~). If you are here because I reverted your unsourced edit: feel free to go back and include a citation to a reliable source to back up your claims. No need to consult me at all! You can have a look at referencing for beginners to help you with this. If you are here because you think I made a mistake somewhere: you could be right! I am neither omniscient nor infallible. Let's talk about it. If you are here to communicate with me about a GA review I am conducting: Please contact me on the review page and not here as it creates a more complete and centralized record of correspondence. If I don't get back to you immediately: Bear with me. I am a university student with a busy life so I will be inactive for varying amounts of time.

Your edits were reverted because they were unsourced, and in a non encyclopedic tone. Furthermore, if you mean to tell me that you have been blocked on other accounts, continuing to edit under another account is an express violation of Wikipedia's sockpuppet policy. — FenrisAureus ▲ (she/they) (talk) 02:52, 17 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
