Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

  Hello, I'm Meters. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Wilfrid Laurier, 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. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Don't add your unsourced commentary Meters (talk) 03:50, 4 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Please do not cut and paste content from other articles the way you did. You must acknowledge the source of the content to maintain the attribution history, and you must also copy the sources over. You simply copied the number of the reference. And why do you think we need to duplicate all of that material in Wilfrid Laurier? We have the separate article Electoral history of Wilfrid Laurier so that we don't have to have all of that information in this article. That's why we link to it.

And would you please be more careful. The entire article uses the day month year format, so don't add dates in other formats. See MOS:DATEUNIFY Meters (talk) 04:36, 4 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Wilfrid Laurier. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. You have already been undone. Don't restore the edits. Discuss them on the article's talk page per WP:BRD Meters (talk) 09:47, 4 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

  Hi Ynguyenca! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Louis Riel that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Stop calling your edits minor. They are not minor, particularly the ones to Wilfrid Laurier‎ which were previously undone. Meters (talk) 09:53, 4 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
