This edit made me stop short as I was reviewing watchlisted articles. I have not reverted the edit, but I came close to doing so. The edit appears to stretch reliance on this cited source past the breaking point. Actually, the source cited looks questionable to me

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of previously published material to our articles as you apparently did to Emilio Aguinaldo. Please cite a reliable source for all of your information. Thank you. I have reverted a number of your edits here, commenting in the edit summary, "POV, unsupported".

• your insertion of the word, "victorious", is unsupported and appears to be a POV characterization of the relevant history.
• your insertion of "or War of Philippine Independence" might have stood as an alternative appellation, if it had been supported.
• your insertion of "and and struck the first major blow against [[American_imperialism|US imperialism]" is unsupported and highly POV.
• your insertion of "and one of the greatest military generals of the Philippines" is unsupported and highly POV.

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to History of Filipino Americans. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 14:46, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Before saving your changes to an article, please provide an edit summary, which you forgot to do before saving your recent edit to History of Filipino Americans. Doing so helps everyone understand the intention of your edit (and prevents legitimate edits from being mistaken for vandalism). It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 07:02, 22 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for all of your work on Historic Filipinotown, Los Angeles. I see one issue with your editing, which you may not be aware of. We are not supposed to include external links in the text. For example, this sentence has two external links:

• The Historic Filipinotown Neighborhood Council leads the effort for cultural, political, and economic development in the District.

If the links are important they should be included in an "external links" section at the end, or if they are used as sources they should be placed in footnotes at the end of the sentence. See

I'm disappointed that you have not responded here. If I don't hear from you and if you don't fix the problem yourself I'll have to do it, and I'm too busy to do it as carefully as you probably would.

Another concern is that you are undoing the corrections I've made to the headings.[1] Headings follow "sentence case", meaning that only the first word and subsequent proper nouns are capitalized. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Article titles, headings, and sections.

Please respond to let me know that you've read and understood my posts here.   Will Beback  talk  23:46, 23 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm EuroCarGT. I wanted to let you know that I removed an external link you added to the page Little Manila because it seemed inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thanks. ///EuroCarGT 23:38, 21 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Historic Filipinotown, Los Angeles may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Your addition has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text, or images borrowed from other websites, or printed material without a verifiable license; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. If you continue to upload blatant copyright violations where you have edited the photo slightly you will be blocked.
