Hello, I'm Throast. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Organ theft, 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 referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Throast {{ping}} me! (talk | contribs) 22:15, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
- The Snope article currently used as reference in the introduction does not provide evidence of felonious organ theft as stated in the sentence. In fact, the article is illustrating just the opposite, that felonious organ theft is an urban legend. I kept that reference and placed it in a context that correctly reflects the article's content. I corrected an incorrect citation. I also include several references to Wikipedia entries.
- Please explain how I did not include references. There are three citations there. Dr.MikeHolloway (talk) 22:23, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
- The assumption is if information is substantially changed while the citation from the previous revision is kept (and no new citation is added), that the new information is no longer in accordance with the source. Of course, that assumption is not always correct. If the information does align with the source, feel free to revert. In any case, please remember to use edit summaries in order to prevent misunderstandings like these. Thanks. Throast {{ping}} me! (talk | contribs) 23:40, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
