Hello friend. Thanks for your edits to United States involvement in regime change in Latin America. Just wanted to let you know that I made some small cleanup edits to bring your edits more in line with how we usually do things here on Wikipedia. You can view my edits and my associated comments by clicking on the article's "history" tab. Here's a direct link.
Also, be careful to use high quality sources. For history articles, books and textbooks are ideal. Normally we want to avoid regular websites (non-newspaper websites), as they are WP:SELFPUBLISHED and don't have any kind of peer review or editorial process. WP:PRIMARY source documents are also not ideal. Using too many primary sources can give WP:UNDUE weight.
You can keep using those sources for now, as something is better than nothing, but I just want to plant the seed so that less cleanup is needed in the future.
Anyway, good job so far. Always good to see content creation. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you ever have any questions. Happy editing. –Novem Linguae (talk) 23:15, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
