editHello, I'm INeedSupport. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Democracy, 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 the tutorial on citing sources, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. INeedSupport :V 19:14, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Democracy. Your edits continue to appear to constitute vandalism and have been automatically reverted.
- If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Note that human editors do monitor recent changes to Wikipedia articles, and administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism.
- ClueBot NG makes very few mistakes, but it does happen. If you believe the change you made should not have been considered as unconstructive, please read about it, report it here, remove this warning from your talk page, and then make the edit again.
- If you need help, please see our help pages, and if you can't find what you are looking for there, please feel free to place
{{Help me}}
on your talk page and someone will drop by to help. - The following is the log entry regarding this warning: Democracy was changed by 31.50.214.113 (u) (t) ANN scored at 0.962505 on 2019-09-05T22:20:24+00:00

- Hi, I just reverted ten edits of yours at Democracy. I'm sorry about this, as the content looked okay at first glance, and just needed to have good citations referencing it. You provided at least three references, but two were invoked but never defined, and a third appears to be a Harvard reference available only to those on-campus, or has some other restriction forbidding open access to it. Can you please redo your changes, with accessible, valid, citations this time?
- Note that at least three previous editors have also undone your edits, on four occasions at that article. It seems you are having difficulty at the article. Perhaps you would like to try creating the content first here on your Talk page, and asking more experienced editors for their help in looking it over, before attempting to add it to the article. If you want to ask an editor for help, you can {{ping}} them. You can also put out a request for help from anybody, by adding your comment below, and adding
{{Help me}}
to your message. Good luck! Mathglot (talk) 23:11, 5 September 2019 (UTC)- I can help finding some references if you need some. There's probably some at the Wikipedia article you linked. INeedSupport :V 23:44, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
Note: I have provisionally accepted your edits at Democracy, with this comment: I accepted the recent series of edits with reservations: This is vast overkill and will have to be cut way back, but you’ve been trying hard and I don’t want to discourage you. Most of this would be better off at the child article.
Please read the Wikipedia guideline WP:Due weight, and tell me if you understand it. Your content is not *bad*—it’s just that there is too much of it, compared to other bits of text about other democracies. There has to be a balance. Do you understand what I mean? If you can cut this back to a couple of sentences, then it will be fine. If you cannot, another editor will probably do it for you. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 02:45, 6 September 2019 (UTC)
