March 2019

Hello, I'm SummerPhDv2.0. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Bloods, 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. Thank you.

Non-existent categories

Before adding a category to an article, as you did to Wah Ching, please make sure that the category page actually exists. In some cases, it may be appropriate to create a new category in accordance with Wikipedia's categorization guidelines, but it is usually better to use the most specific available existing category. It is never appropriate to leave a page categorised in a non-existent category, i.e. one whose link displays in red. You may find it helpful to use the gadget HotCat, which tests whether a category exists before saving a change. Thank you. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 21:07, 13 March 2019 (UTC)

Bloods

Hi WestCoastEdits. I noticed your Bloods edit of March 7th needs a "url=". Perhaps you could also add a "quote=", because the source is a long article and it may not be immediately clear where it mentions the connection between Bloods and Asian-Americans. --77.173.90.33 (talk) 17:58, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
