Hello, I'm Walter Görlitz. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Canada have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Welcome back.

Sovereign state

Please stop replacing "sovereign state" with the less precise term "country" at various articles. The wording in the lead of many of these articles has been carefully discussed over a long period, often while GA, or in some cases FA status was achieved. If you want to make changes like this then discuss them on the relevant article talk page(s) and try to achieve a consensus, rather than making wholesale "drive-by" alterations. Thank you. -- Begoon 01:48, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

Please do not add or significantly change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did with this edit to Borderline personality disorder. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Home Lander (talk) 15:48, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
