Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Machapunga, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. Edward-Woodrow :) [talk] 21:33, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
- Who are you? What proof or source do you need that we do exist an aren’t extinct? I am a descendant of this tribe and many of us still exist. Many still reside in present day Hyde County.

- I am quite literally a random editor who was patrolling Special:RecentChanges.
- Wikipedia needs reliable, secondary sources to affirm your claim. This is vital to our core policy of verifiability – all claims need to be sourced and verified. Otherwise, anyone could make up whatever they want and put it in. Edward-Woodrow :) [talk] 12:05, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
