Please do not add or change content, as you did at Armenia, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Albania is in eastern Europe and has a much higher rate of acceptance Doug Weller talk 12:39, 16 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Samf4u. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —specifically this edit to Jim Jordan (American politician)— because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help Desk. Thanks. Samf4u (talk) 01:01, 4 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

I have some suggestions for this page, but I don't know how or where to suggest them: Peter Paul Strzok II[1] (/strʌk/, pronounced struck;[2][3] born March 7, 1970)[4]:

Footnote 1 is a reference to a home sale in the Washington Post. Presumably, that Peter Strzok is the same as this Peter Strzok, but I don't think that that cite is particularly good support for that this Peter Strzok is Peter Paul Strzok II. Footnote 4 is terrible support for what Peter Strzok's birthdate is. It seems to refer to his age at the time, but not at all to his birthday.

I can understand your hesitancy to get involved in this hot article, but the procedure that applies whenever you are not feeling bold enough to change the article itself is to raise the issue on the article's talk page: Talk:Peter Strzok.

But I encourage you to more pointedly raise your concerns in the article itself. The tag that you would add to an article where you found that the reference cited does not support the claim made is {{failed verification}} to which you can add parameters date=, talk=, and reason=. There is also a template called {{better source needed}} that also takes parameters date= and reason= – this template can be used when you think the current source is not sufficient, such as your point that there's not enough reason to exclude the possibility of a real-world name collision that would bring the relevance of the source into question. If you had better references, of course, it would be better to replace the worse references with the better ones. But pointing out problems with a reference is one step towards getting the matter fixed, even if you can't complete that process yourself. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 02:32, 4 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
