Hi Drakesax,

I got your message. Happy to help. It's a pretty tricky balancing act; we certainly want people like you, who stumble across a vandalized article, to remove crap you find in the article. I'd never want to discourage that. But sometimes that "hides", if you will, the vandalism you didn't find. Someone says to themselves "Ah, Drakesax removed the vandalism, I don't need to look further". So when I notice someone like you removing vandalism, but not actually reverting the vandal, I try to look at the last few editors' contributions in the article history and see if there's more. I'm not sure how familiar you are with WP, so I don't want to patronize you, but if you want advice on how to do that, let me know. And if you want to just continue doing what you've been doing, then I'll continue doing what I've been doing, and it will all work out more or less OK in the end. --Floquenbeam (talk) 17:50, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Seany91. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, USWNT, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Please make sure you don't misuse WP:MINOR.
