I reverted your edits for a couple reasons:

1. It is imperative that you always cite your sources.
2. Summary articles (like an article about a country) should not present extensive details about anything. It should provide a summary / overview of the basic information and provide links to sub-articles, where topics are further elaborated on. Thus extensive details about Union of Kedainiai, Mindaugas II, or the colonies belong not to Lithuania but to their own articles.

File:Copyright-problem.svg

Thank you for uploading :File:Klaipedos stot.ter.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created [{{fullurl:Special:Log|type=upload&user=Otto90}} in your upload log]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 09:30, 30 May 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 09:30, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading :File:Baltic ancestry.gif. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{Tl|GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{tlp|non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created [{{ fullurl:Special:Log|type=upload&user=Otto90}} in your upload log]. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 13:32, 9 June 2010 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Quibik (talk) 13:32, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

In reviewing pending changes, your edit to Lithuania could not be approved at this time, but I do encourage you to resubmit it with the issues corrected. Content edits are not minor edits, some copy edits, article tagging, and such are. A general rule of thumb is that if an edit changes the "message" or "meaning" of an article, it's not a minor edit. Further, anything that is likely to be challenged must be verifiable from citations of reliable sources. It's highly recommended that you provide inline citations, as these will let others check your work quickly, and it makes it clear to anyone verifying or doing further research to the article which sources support which statements in the article. Otherwise, good work, and I hope to see your revisions again with the appropriate changes made. Triona (talk) 00:39, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
