  Hello, I'm WNYY98. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Oxon Hill, Maryland seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. 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. WNYY98 (talk) 00:35, 12 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Oxon Hill, Maryland. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. WNYY98 (talk) 00:40, 12 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

  Thank you for your suggestion regarding Oxon Hill, Maryland. When you believe an article needs improvement, please feel free to make those changes. Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone can edit almost any article by simply following the edit this page link at the top.
The Wikipedia community encourages you to be bold in updating pages. Don't worry too much about making honest mistakes—they're likely to be found and corrected quickly. If you're not sure how editing works, check out how to edit a page, or use the sandbox to try out your editing skills. New contributors are always welcome. You don't even need to log in (although there are many reasons you might want to). Please view the reasons why I reverted your previous edits, then I will stop reverting them. Thank you!
