Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to List of counties in Ohio, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. This is especially important when dealing with biographies of living people, but applies to all Wikipedia articles. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are already familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources please take this opportunity to add your original reference to the article. Thank you. Nyttend (talk) 21:44, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

See Talk:List of Ohio county name etymologies for relevant discussion. Please Assume good faith. --128.146.172.220 (talk) 21:57, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
I do assume good faith: that's why I gave no warning after the first reversion and only a {{uw-unsourced1}} after the second reversion; if you read here you'll see that level 1 templates are assume-good-faith warnings. Now as far as what you said otherwise: there's nothing on the talk page except two banners and a note about this page. Anyway, if you want to use Britannica articles, you can as well as any other reliable source, but please cite them in the article, not just in the edit summary.
