  Hello, I'm Rsrikanth05. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to German Americans have been undone because they did not appear constructive.

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

  Please do not use styles that are unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in Pope Clement XII. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Thank you. Donner60 (talk) 04:19, 5 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

I have seen your comment. Wikipedia certainly welcomes factual additions to articles, although these usually must be referenced. They cannot be in the form of opinions, unsourced and debatable text or commentary. A reliable, verifiable, third party source can support facts that may otherwise appear questionable, as I have explained above. You will find that my comments are from the Wikipedia pages noted and that those pages can provide further guidance. This is not a commentary or judgment on your editing. You certainly appear to me to be in good faith so I do not think your efforts are vandalism, but that does not mean they need not comply with Wikipedia policies and guidelines.
