User talk:Endukiejunta
Welcome!
Hello, Endukiejunta, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one of your contributions does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.
There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{Help me}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia

- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- Tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Simplified Manual of Style

What is a reputable source?

I want to edit the page about military juntas and add the one in Ukraine. I did put sources, but it was taken down and they said my source and my view was non-neutral. I feel as if the Western viewpoint is never seen as non-neutral and that sources like CNN, Fox, ABC, NBC, Kyiv Post, Moscow Times, etc are taken as reputable even though these new stations have been proven liars in many cases. So what is a reputable source according to Wikipedia?Endukiejunta (talk) 02:59, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
- Hi, the guidelines on reputable sources can be found at WP:Identifying reliable sources. They also need to be third-party, i.e. if you're writing about a person, it can't be the person's own website. Sources do not have to be only American news organizations - for example, articles about subjects in India often use the India Times. — kikichugirl speak up! 06:15, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Yopie. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to List of coups d'état and coup attempts by country seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. 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. Yopie (talk) 20:26, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to List of coups d'état and coup attempts since 2010. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Yopie (talk) 20:28, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
Your recent edits
[edit] Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:
- Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
- With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (
or 
) located above the edit window.
This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 05:17, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
