[edit]
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Education in the United Kingdom, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you!

[edit]
Hello, I'm Jim1138. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Otabek Mahkamov with this edit, without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Jim1138 (talk) 10:15, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
- One should generally avoid removing large amounts of sourced content without a very good explanation in the wp:edit summary (please, always leave an edit summary!). I primarily removed it as you removed a large amount of content and did not leave an ES. I am not familiar with the page and there may be good reason to remove that content. And then again, perhaps it should stay if he has been causing trouble. We shouldn't paint a rosy picture of Joseph Stalin, nor have five paragraphs about some nobody arrested for drunk driving.
- For policy, please see wp:biographies of living persons, wp:neutral point of view (specifically wp:undue weight) (a neutral point of view does not necessarily mean "all sides get a say", nor "biased" content should be removed).
- You can, and probably should, discuss the issue on talk:Otabek Mahkamov. If you want more "eyes" on the topic, please use a wp:Request for comment. wp:ping others who have edited the page (avoid wp:canvasing) to the talk page.
- If you want to reply to this talk, please ping me here rather than leaving a message on my talk page. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 22:14, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
