Hello, I'm Donner60. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Glacier Peak High School, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Donner60 (talk) 02:46, 14 June 2019 (UTC)

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

For you convenience, here are the quotations from Wikipedia policy and guideline pages that I placed on my talk page in response to your statements.

If the fact can not be sourced, it cannot be included. There would be no reason to think it was anything but a hoax if it were not sourced. Also, the edit made it appear as if the actual mayor had been replaced. It also included a nickname which may not be accurate. In addition, and obviously, a one-week honorary position would not replace a mayor and it would mislead anyone who saw it. Even if sourced, it certainly should not be in the infobox as a replacement of the actual mayor. it is also not of any encyclopedic or enduring significance and would likely be reverted by someone else if added back later in the article. Here are quotes from Wikipedia policy and guideline pages.

If it is a known fact, then there must be a source. Wikipedia provides citations for readers who may question content, especially negative content about living persons. "Known facts" are not reliable sources. "All content must be verifiable. The burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material, and is satisfied by providing an inline citation to a reliable source that directly supports the contribution. Wikipedia:Verifiability."

The following quote from a Wikipedia policy page. Wikipedia:No original research, is relevant here: "Wikipedia's content is determined by previously published information rather than by the personal beliefs or experiences of its editors. Even if you're sure something is true, it must be verifiable before you can add it. The policy says that all material challenged or likely to be challenged, and all quotations, needs a reliable source; what counts as a reliable source is described in Wikipedia:Verifiability."
