Peter J. Ganci Jr.

{{{icon|25px| ↗}}} Hi. Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for working to improve the site with your edit to Peter J. Ganci Jr. ↗, as we really appreciate your participation. However, the edit had to be reverted, because Wikipedia cannot accept uncited material ↗. Wikipedia requires that the material in its articles be accompanied by reliable ↗, verifiable ↗ (usually secondary ↗) sources explicitly cited in the article text in the form of an inline citation ↗, which you can learn to make here ↗. If you ever have any other questions about editing, or need help regarding the site's policies, just let me know by leaving a message for me in a new section at the bottom of my talk page. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 14:12, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

:My bad, I just resubmitted the edit with a citation. FinnSoThin (talk) 07:40, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

A very small reminder

Hi FinnSoThin, I notice that in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/FinnSoThin your last 50 edits ↗ none of them had an edit comment. A brief remark (can be as little as "wl" for "I added a Wikilink") saves other editors time checking and is a courtesy to the whole community. Many thanks for your attention.
