Hello, I'm Donner60. I noticed that you made an edit to a biography of a living person, Niraj Goel, but that 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. Thanks. Donner60 (talk) 03:06, 15 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You removed many positive statements about Niraj Goel without any showing that they were erroneous. Then you added negative content without a single citation. If these are really such well known facts, surely you can cite some reliable, verifiable source that can back them up. Otherwise, all we have is your word for it and no one knows if your edits are made because they are true or because you have some sort of grudge against this person. As information, in addition to the page cited in the above message, you may find the following pages have useful information about Wikipedia: Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources, Help:Footnotes, Wikipedia:Verifiability, Wikipedia:No original research, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not, Getting started; Introduction to Wikipedia; Wikipedia:Simplified ruleset; and Wikipedia:Simplified Manual of Style. Help:Contents provides guidance and links to pages were help can be requested. Also see Wikipedia:Teahouse. Thank you. Donner60 (talk) 03:55, 15 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I did not think your further comment called for a reply. You make a few other unsourced comments and conclude that you will wait until there are mainstream reports. That seems to leave the matter where it is for the time being. I repeat that at this point it is your word against sourced content or previously unchallenged content that is not shown to be wrong. You make allegations against certain publications (at least one of which is a rather well known source) but do not back this up by any source, even a biased one. Wikipedia does not work by contacting people to get other unsourced reports, if that is what you mean. Again, see Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons, Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources, Help:Footnotes, Wikipedia:Verifiability, Wikipedia:No original research, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view among the pages I cited above. I suggest you wait until you can cite a reliable, verifiable, neutral source before further editing the article or further carrying on a discussion which can only lead to the same conclusions unless sources are cited.

Information icon 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:

  1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
  2. 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) 21:19, 15 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
