Hello, I'm Yamaguchi先生. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Thad Roberts, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Hey Mr. Yamaguchi! Thanks for your message! I guess you're right - according to the Wikipedia rules I can't reference to a webpage of the concerned person. It is just very difficult to do that right now, as the reliable sources will just about now start to write and fact check about "Thad Roberts". In its current state the entry about Thad Roberts is very unbalanced and could be very damaging for Mr. Roberts future. I'm an airline pilot for SWISS INT. airlines - it isn't true anymore, that we pilots are the most trusted people? ;-) No - I understand that the content must be verifiable - I've just spent all day working on this article for nothing...

Can I try again with a reduced version of it and you're a bit more generous on accepting it?

Best regards,

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Theory of everything. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Favonian (talk) 20:23, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's no original research policy by adding your personal analysis or synthesis into articles, as you did at Theory of everything, you may be blocked from editing. - DVdm (talk) 09:58, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially-designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template. Johnuniq (talk) 08:27, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
