Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! Materialscientist (talk) 22:34, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

Welcome!

Lovely to see newer editors interested in working on Papua New Guinean articles! It's really nice to see the articles on the Somares getting some attention - they could certainly use it. The Drover's Wife (talk) 04:42, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

Peter O'Neill

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that the section you added at Peter O'Neill a while ago is restored. I planned on completely overhauling the page for its writing style, but I'm not familiar enough with parliamentary governments to be writing on the subject. I hope someone better suited can be of more help. Thanks for your contributions, and happy editing! ◢   Ganbaruby!   (Say hi!) 14:18, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
