Original research and using citations

Hiya. Look I'm sorry to keep reverting you, but there are some 'rules' to this thing. You can change, update and add content - but only where you have a source for that content. Your own experience or views don't come into it - the published source is what can be added. So if the table says April to November, you can't change that to early April to late November. If you have an updated temperature, cite the source. And you'll need a reputable source (book, journal article, newspaper report) to substantiate the assertion that the weather has changed in its pattern over previous years. Without a source, quoted verbatim, you'll just keep getting reverted - if not by me, by others. See WP:OR and WP:Source. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 13:01, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

Look I am not trying to vandalize Wikipedia as you think. I am already adding sources from the National Center of Meteorology. For example in Abu Dhabi, it says that The months of June to September are generally extremely hot and humid with maximum temperatures averaging above 41 °C (106 °F). That is not true for June and September. Especially in June, The average temperature in June is less than 41 °C (106 °F) and is even less humid in June, and the second least humid after May, and even in September, the average temperature is also less than 41 °C (106 °F) and it is a fact according to the climate data of Abu Dhabi. June's weather is similar to May's only that the chance of rainfall is less. Sandstorms rarely happen in June compared to other months, and yes I visited Abu Dhabi. So please stop reverting my edits for no reason.

I get that you're trying to make positive changes, but I'd really suggest you familiarise yourself with policy. You can make a change IF the source substantiates that change. June 48.8 July 52.7 August 49.2 September 47.7 are the temperatures in the table and they substantiate the statement that you're trying to change, that the Summer months of June-September are hot. Like I said, take a look at WP:OR and WP:Source and you will see that YOUR experience isn't what counts (you could have found Abu Dhabi full of elephants when you went there, but it won't make it into Wikipedia unless you can find someone else who reported a plague of elephants in a mainstream medium accepted as a source) - it's what the cited SOURCE says that matters. You can only add material that is SOURCED - not additional stuff or statements based on your experience. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 14:34, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

I honestly disagree with you and with your statement. Again, I am not trying to vandalize Wikipedia. Tell me what is your problem with the source? Fine June-September are generally hot, but what about May? May is 46.9, isn't it hot as well? Why isn't it included along with June-September? OK Forget about my experience, but just like June-Septemeber, May is a hot month too, May and June share similar weather, June is just 1% hotter than May, unlike July and August. Can you explain to me what is your difference between May and June based on your view? I appreciate that.

The source is fine - but you're not using the source, you're making statements based on your own views and perceptions - original research. If the source states May is one of the hottest months (it doesn't), then it's May. If it doesn't, you have no cause to change the article as it stands. I've timed out on this now, so you can work on taking the source and adding facts to the pages that are directly derived from statements and facts in that source or you can, possibly wiser, WP:DROPTHESTICK. If any further unsourced changes are made, I'll start using warnings. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 03:32, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

Please don't tell me that I am not using the source, stop lying to me. How am I NOT using the source?! How it doesn't say that May is one of the hottest months. It does actually say, check the source again, I have checked it, and it says that it is one of the hottest months. And I am trying to add the new source and still you are rejecting it, and 46.9 is a hot temperature, it is like HELL. Besides this NOAA is dated (1971-1991), where is the most recent weather update? That is where I am trying to source this out from the National Center of Meteorology for 2003-2019. So stop lying to me telling me that I am not using any source. I haven't done anything for your majesty's sake. In fact, I should be the one who should send you the warnings to stop reverting my edits as if you are my father or my boss. That's it. I should report you. I am done speaking with you.
