  Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made an edit to a biography of a living person, Lena Schöneborn, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. 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. Materialscientist (talk) 07:14, 11 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Sorry. I just translated the unreferenced info from the German wiki page since I know German and many wiki pages in English lack the details of foreign athletes profiled (stubs?), and online news in German also included such added info. I have an MA in German from UIUC and am myself a retired marathon runner... I gather from your statement that I should refrain from making any changes on any wiki pages from now on - is that the jist of your message? 178.255.168.37 (talk) 10:16, 5 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
