Hello, I'm Waxworker. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Red mercury, 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. Please see MOS:POPCULT Waxworker (talk) 16:09, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I don't personally believe that a citation was needed in this case, as I linked to another existing Wikipedia page, but, I have put my edit back in with a BBC citation. Feel free to check my citation is correctly filled in. BBC is considered a good source, so, overall, I assume it will be accepted.

It is frustrating the way Wikipedia blocks additions for a variety of reasons. Accuracy is VERY important, but rules can leave pages with errors due to omission, which can be just as damaging. Maybe a system to verify additions, rather than exclude them, might be better for contributors. Danchc (talk) 19:18, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
