[edit]Nematullah, we appreciate your adding to our articles. But new content has to meet our guidelines. In this case, the most important one is the requirement that information be verified by references to reliable sources (see WP:RS). The source you keep citing is not one of those: they appear to be a teacher's notes, not a published book or article. Wait--worse, it is a student paper: that is certainly not acceptable as a source. Reliable sources typically are books and journal articles. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 03:48, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
- I think there is an apparent misunderstanding. It's and article published by the University of Chicago press. I wouldn't be so indolent in using proper sources. http://www.jstor.org/discover/10.2307/1265568?uid=2129&uid=2134&uid=2&uid=70&uid=4&sid=47698816576067 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nematullah.n (talk • contribs) 03:58, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
- Then what are you linking to this for? Which, BTW, isn't an article by Samarin called "Seeing Voices--A Journey Into The World Of The Deaf". Samarin is the author of the article you linked to, and that is an impeccable source, it seems to me. Unfortunately, while the quote about "ready communication" is found in the article, it's not Samarin's words: Samarin in fact quotes an article from 1899 by Lee Humfreville, "The sign language: its mysterious origin and significance"--a claim he goes on to debunk.

- Yes so realizing that I just made one mistake, That gives you a right to delete my work? As Iv'e mentioned I'm a novice in this Wikipedia editing platform, and I take it your a master at editing. But this is the whole point; I am suppose to try and challenge myself for this assignment and become more familiar with Wikipedia. So I really Would like you to support and assist in this edit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nematullah.n (talk • contribs) 04:28, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
- Let's keep this in one place. Well, the problem is that this incorrect quotation actually points at something important: did you read the Samarin article at all? It contradicts most of the content of your edit. That's obviously something that has to be fixed. "One mistake"--yes that is enough reason to remove it, since the information is not correctly cited. If I were you, I'd get the article from JSTOR (the entire thing) and see what's in there, so you can consider adding some of that. You can't cite from that student essay: it's a very unreliable source. As far as learning--look at WP:CITE, as I suggested above. Drmies (talk) 04:58, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
