Hello, I'm Donner60. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Taíno, 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. Donner60 (talk) 01:29, 10 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In response to your message on my talk page: You added a small amount of material, mostly in one paragraph. Although you should be aware of your additions, the links above show you the edits. You added no sources for these additions at all. Not only are they directions to the reader, which are not made under Wikipedia guidelines, they add an unnecessary slant to the article unless you can verify them with a reliable, verifiable, neutral, third party source. Also, except for the spin put on it, this addition "It is important to keep in mind that in Taino society, as well as most other Native American societies, men and women were not restricted from doing jobs that the opposite gender usually did and that gender roles were more of a suggestion than a rule, i.e. Taino women were free to hunt and fight in wars if she desired to do so, and Taino men were free to farm and teach children. In fact, it was often both men and women that led the tribe", actually adds no new facts to the cited information already in the text. Your additions from a prior edit also are unsourced.
