[edit]Hello, Sjwilling, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits did not conform to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may have been removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations verified in reliable, reputable print or online sources or in other reliable media. Always provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.

Primary sources
[edit]Hi there,
Wikipedia determines what's important about a subject (i.e. what should be included) by what reliable sources say about the subject. The material you're adding cites only AiG. We need a reason to highlight that content from AiG, and we would defer to other sources for that (ones that meet the reliable sourcing policy). The claim you're adding isn't particularly controversial, but especially with a controversial subject like AiG, we need to be sure any additions are properly sourced to reliable publications.
Most urgently, however, you should know that one of the few brightline rules Wikipedia has is for edit warring (restoring the same material multiple times). Doing so generally leads to blocks/bans. If you'd like to discuss it more, please do so at the talk page for the article, which is precisely for such discussions. :) — Rhododendrites talk \\ 21:35, 20 July 2019 (UTC)
