- I am trying to add a picture, an official photo for Sen Jay C. Block but it says the file is a duplicate. Can you help me post the pic to the Senator's page please? Dutch2222 (talk) 04:15, 8 June 2025 (UTC)

Hi there Dathom999. I noticed your edit to Melissa R. DuBose, where you reverted Tessbake's removal of unsourced content. Per our verifiability policy, any material that needs an inline citation but does not have one may be removed: this includes material whose verifiability has been challenged. As the burden to provide sourcing lies on editors who add or restore content, not those who revert, it was incorrect for you to do so after Tessbake's challenge without demonstrating verifiability. I note that the content has been removed again by Discospinster; please take time to familiarise yourself with the verifiability policy before being tempted to make similar reversions. Thank you, UpTheOctave! • 8va? 00:51, 5 May 2026 (UTC)
- Hi UpTheOctave, thanks for the message. I had a quick look at the edit and thought it might have taken out more than it should, but I didn’t properly check the sourcing before reverting. I can see why it was removed now when I look at it, and I shouldn’t have reverted it without verifying it more thoroughly first. I’ll be more careful about checking the content before doing anything in future. I really appreciate you pointing it out to me and giving me a wakeup call. Dathom999 (talk) 02:12, 5 May 2026 (UTC)
