Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Hello, I'm Meters. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Wilfrid Laurier, 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 the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Don't add your unsourced commentary Meters (talk) 03:50, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not cut and paste content from other articles the way you did. You must acknowledge the source of the content to maintain the attribution history, and you must also copy the sources over. You simply copied the number of the reference. And why do you think we need to duplicate all of that material in Wilfrid Laurier? We have the separate article Electoral history of Wilfrid Laurier so that we don't have to have all of that information in this article. That's why we link to it.

See WP:Copy-paste Meters (talk) 04:26, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

And would you please be more careful. The entire article uses the day month year format, so don't add dates in other formats. See MOS:DATEUNIFY Meters (talk) 04:36, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Wilfrid Laurier. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. You have already been undone. Don't restore the edits. Discuss them on the article's talk page per WP:BRD Meters (talk) 09:47, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ynguyenca! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Louis Riel that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Stop calling your edits minor. They are not minor, particularly the ones to Wilfrid Laurier‎ which were previously undone. Meters (talk) 09:53, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
