  1. There is no reason to duplicate references found in the SS Georgiana article.
  2. I inserted a statement that certain claims had been made about George Trenholm. I'm not aware that those statements (which I documented) constitute a "conspiracy theory". If so, then that theory would be interesting and significant on its merits and should be discussed. --Zeamays (talk) 16:58, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Are you ready to move on with the article and include the material about the judgment in the GBC's favor?67.120.59.46 (talk) 16:38, 18 November 2008 (UTC) JimBobUSA: I see that you have changed my "critics believe" to "sources report". The word report refers to documenting a fact, a belief is just that. Therefore, you must have removed your objection to the adding this information to the Trenholm article, n'est pas? --Zeamays (talk) 17:11, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

What's the problem if the reference is not in English? There are plenty of references in other languages in the English wikipedia (as in many others), just look Paris and count how many of them are written in French. If you have something against the information I provided, please state it clear and do not look for false excuses. Qoan (talk) 12:08, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

However, sources in other languages are acceptable where an English equivalent is not available.
Also, on netiquette, Editors might object if you remove material without giving them time to provide references. It has always been good practice to make reasonable efforts to find sources oneself that support such material, and cite them. If you want to request a source for an unsourced statement, consider tagging a sentence by adding the {{fact}} template, a section with {{unreferencedsection}}, or the article with {{refimprove}} or {{unreferenced}}. Alternatively, you may leave a note on the talk page requesting a source, or move the material to the talk page.
I did quote and translate the relevant part of the source. If you are not sure what the text says, you can check it on Google translator. Qoan (talk) 01:36, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
