Re: Ocean sunfish

I appreciate your efforts and intention, but Wikipedia doesn't accept original research - see WP:NOR. I think it's a shame, in this case, but that's the rule. Philip Trueman (talk) 16:47, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Look, I mean it. You can't go adding your own personal observations. Additions to Wikipedia have to be verifiable - that means someone else has to be able to look up the information where you got it. Please don't make me keep having to revert your edits. Thanks. Philip Trueman (talk) 17:45, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of previously published material to our articles as you apparently did to Ocean sunfish. Please cite a reliable source for all of your information. Thank you. Brideshead (talk) 18:06, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
