  Hello, I'm DanCherek. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Alan Ladd, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. DanCherek (talk) 04:31, 28 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi there Willondon! I added a reliable source to the article in question. Please do not add or change this content without citing a reliable source, such as your lived experience as a student who has had to suffer through eating without a plate due to a highly incompetent administration.

You should know that lived experience as a student is not regarded as a reliable source at Wikipedia. The source you did provide [1] is an email to the students. It informs on a decision to substitute plates with disposable plates or the use of the trays (which I agree sucks, and is not an acceptable solution). The letter specifically gives Covid-19 complications as the reason for the decision. It doesn't mention affordability at all, and it certainly makes no comparison to tuition fees. What you are adding ("Despite this high tuition, Grinnell College is unable to afford plates.") is a clearly a bit of personally motivated snark. It doesn't belong in the encyclopedia. Please don't insert it again. signed, Willondon (talk) 19:05, 25 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
Hello again Willondon. The current version of the page in question no longer mentions affordability and merely states the facts. Thanks so much for your constructive feedback! I really appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia. Carragay (talk) 19:46, 25 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for edit warring, as you did at Grinnell College. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.
During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Bbb23 (talk) 20:38, 25 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
