Hello, I'm William Avery. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Potassium, 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. If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. "Grammar" was not a satisfactory summary for that edit, either. William Avery (talk) 05:23, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Enthusiasm

I notice your enthusiasm, but it is disturbing that it is overriding better editing. For instance, in your edit to Tin you mention the Tin cry. Did you not see the mention of the same farther down in the article?

And in the interests of readers, there are guidelines about what should go into the article Lead paragraph, see WP:MOSLEAD. Stuffing all sorts of interesting bits into the first several words might seem a good idea, until you think about it more. Don't be surprised if much or all of your enthusiasm is deleted, in favor of editing with care. Shenme (talk) 05:41, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Talk

Hi, I'm still new and all here and I don't necessarily know everything about Wikipedia yet. However, what I can tell you is that I've been in the element collecting hobby for over 3 years and counting. The information given here isn't factually correct. Cadmium is NOT a blue metal, we can debate that all day. I've worked with this metal in the past and can tell you for a fact that it's not. I don't see the reason as to why that was removed as it is common knowledge at this point really. In fact, I'm going to correct that once more. Disturbing is slightly over the top here, and it's actually quite rude to use that. Like I said I've worked with these elements for a long time and it annoys me so much to see false facts spreading like this across the platform. Anyways thank you for that, but I don't find it to helping. "Is Pepsi Ok?" (talk) 06:15, 17 April 2019 (UTC)"Is Pepsi Ok?"[reply]

Hi "Is Pepsi Ok?". I would suggest getting to know the workings of wikipedia a bit more, it's up to you but my advice to you would be to maybe edit fewer articles to begin with, to get to know how things are done, and then expanding your edits when you become more confident? If you come across things that you think are wrong, find a reference in a reliable source you can cite for it before making the change and/or discuss the change on the article talk page - this is not mandatory but would help users understand why you are editing established pages. Other users will be more than happy to discuss your changes if they help improve the encyclopedia. Best wishes Polyamorph (talk) 07:46, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for that. I'm still trying to work my way around here in only the few hours since I've made this account. Anyways thank you again, best of luck. "Is Pepsi Ok?" (talk) 07:56, 17 April 2019 (UTC)"Is Pepsi Ok?"[reply]

Please don't use theodoregray.com as a reference. It does not appear to verify any of the article content. . . Mean as custard (talk) 08:35, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome but be careful

Great to have an new editor. The follow statement is not going to earn much credibility here "I've been in the element collecting hobby for 3 years, and I have had my fare share of experiences with ..." Wikipedia editors just do not care. You could be a 12-year old in Timbuktu or a 90-year old Nobelist in Oxford. We just do not care. We like clear writing and good sources describing notable topics. For chemistry, sources by technical scholars are more reliable than Theo Gray. Happy editing. --Smokefoot (talk) 09:43, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you; if proper sources where installed would the said statement that I wrote be acceptable? Thank you.Sethrc225 (talk) 15:33, 17 April 2019 (UTC)Sethrc225[reply]

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Cerium, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Plantsurfer 14:41, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did on Cadmium. This violates Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Plantsurfer 14:46, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Iodine. Plantsurfer 14:49, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
