Information icon Hello, I'm Maxim Masiutin. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Robert Barnes (attorney), but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! Maxim Masiutin (talk) 16:17, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

Hello, thanks for your efforts, though I'm a little confused in this case, because the edit I made that you have reverted was not in fact introducing any new information or claims, but actually doing the opposite by removing claims that were unsupported by citations (and were, in fact, strongly editorial and in violation of NPOV). I'm still a very new Wikipedian and so I would appreciate any help I can get to do all of this better. In the meantime, I believe your reversion was in error, though I'm now a bit intimidated to revert your reversion. Can you offer any clarification or assistance?

The user and specific edit that my own was a correction of was then also given a formal warning here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:FalconXray532#November_2023
I feel proud to be improving Wikipedia's neutrality and credibility even at such an early juncture of my tenure as an editor! TomTuohy (talk) 19:15, 16 November 2025 (UTC)
