[edit]Hello, I'm David.moreno72. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Fijian Americans, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. David.moreno72 (talk) 03:07, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
Please do not add or significantly change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did with this edit to Fijian Americans. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. David.moreno72 (talk) 03:48, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
Please do not add unsourced or original content, as you did with this edit to Fijian Americans. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. David.moreno72 (talk) 03:57, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
You may be blocked from editing without further notice the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with this edit to Fijian Americans. David.moreno72 (talk) 04:04, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
Re: You edits to Fijian Americans
[edit]Can you be more specific on what claims and assertions? I think you are trying to high-jack this wikipedia page like communist Chinese government. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jaspreetsingh72002 (talk • contribs) 04:08, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
Your first claim was 'The number of Fijians emigrating to the US increased after 1987 coup' and you cited the CIA World Fact Book which said 'The coups and a 1990 constitution that cemented native Melanesian control of Fiji led to heavy Indian emigration' It says nothing about WHERE they emigrated to. They could have all emigrated to India. Who knows? You need to specify a source that is actually specific to your claim.
Your next claim was 'Due to political instability, military government and sugar cane land lease expiring more people wanted to leave Fiji to start a new life in US. After coming to United States and obtaining their citizenship, Fijian Americans petitioned their relatives to migrate also. Most Fijians who came liked the freedom, democracy, civil rights, healthcare, property rights and employment opportunities that were available to them and stayed in US.', but the citation says 'The page you requested cannot be displayed'
Your next claim 'Like most immigrants, early Fijian Americans lacked technical knowledge or education that was needed for high paying occupations so they started working in Farms, Restaurants, Trucking, Landscaping, Housekeeping and retail. By working hard and saving, most Fijian Americans are able to get into middle class and achieve their American Dream.' links to a Fijian tourist website !!!!
Your next claim 'Fijian Americans enjoy meat.' again links to a Fijian tourist website.
Your next claim 'Most Fijian Americans enjoy watching Rugby Sevens' links to a Rugby website. (Nowhere on the site does it say anything about Fijian Americans enjoy watching Rugby Sevens.)
You next claim 'Most house wife's (Kai-India's) enjoy watching daytime soap opera shows ', (which is what alerted me to your edits. I thought how condescending, but I gave you the benefit of the doubt.) links to an Indian cable and satellite television channel (Nowhere on the site does it say anything about Fijian Americans housewives enjoy watching daytime soap opera shows.)
Quite simply, your citations do NOT back up your claims one iota and on top of that you repeatedly ignore warnings, falsely accuse me of hijacking the page AND personally attack me !!!.
I recommend that you read the following links

I noticed that you have still not provided an RS. Not only that, as previously discussed, your citations do not support your claims. Until you provide suitable citations your edits do not comply with Wikipedia guidelines and will be reverted. David.moreno72 (talk) 06:06, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
Your uncivil behaviour
[edit]I noticed that you have still not provided suitable reliable sources. Perhaps the following information will help.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Identifying_reliable_sources
I'm not doubting that you are an expert, but doing your own research is not permitted.

Also, an article talk page is not a venue for personal attacks as you did here.

Also edit comments are also not a venue for personal attacks as you did here.

False statements
[edit]I notice that you have still not provided reliable sources and in you latest edit you asserted 'I only need to provide Reliable source if more people are challenging my edits' That is incorrect. The Wikipedia policy states, and I quote
"All content must be verifiable. The burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material, and is satisfied by providing a citation to a reliable source that directly supports the contribution."
and
"Do not leave unsourced or poorly sourced material in an article if it might damage the reputation of living people[ or existing groups"
and
"All material in Wikipedia articles must be attributable to a reliable published source. This means that a source must exist for it, whether or not it is cited in the article."
and
"Sources must support the material clearly and directly"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources
It is the last statement where you are going wrong. Although you might be citing a reliable source such as the CIA World Book, the source does not support the material that you have written. Not only that, but one of the citations is a broken link, and the other citations are not reliable ie. Tourist website and a TV broadcasting website. Also, the tourist website and TV broadcasting website do not even support your material clearly and directly.
You also asserted that 'you just want my edits deleted without providing any RS for your rebuttals.'. That is incorrect. I have nothing against you personally, it's just that your edits do not comply with Wikipedia policy and 'The burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material,' That is, it is up to you to provide a RS, not me.
You are more than welcome to constructively edit Wikipedia articles, but you must comply with their policies. David.moreno72 (talk) 05:14, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
Still failing to provide reliable sources
[edit]I noticed that you still haven't provided reliable sources for your edits. A tourist website and a TV website are not reliable sources.
Also, please read the following guidelines
"All content must be verifiable. The burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material, and is satisfied by providing a citation to a reliable source that directly supports the contribution."
and
"Sources must support the material clearly and directly"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources
None of your citations support your material clearly and directly. If you follow these simple guidelines your edits will not be reverted. David.moreno72 (talk) 17:22, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
