Do not engage in original research

[edit]

Edits like this are inappropriate as they are taking sources, which should be used to verify text with explicit statements, and turning them into examples. In other words, you can use Graham to indicate basic information about the AAH. You can't use it to say that this means support for the AAH comes from doctors because Graham is a doctor. All you can say is that one doctor thinks this, and you can't even say that. You are engaging in original research by using the text as an example rather than to verify what the text says.

What the text said is that "The most explicit supporters of AAH come from fields such as paleontology", which seems a pretty obvious observation given the available literature. But if this is too original for WP, I'd be happy to see it reformulated so that it conforms to WP policy. However, such a stylistic issue should not be solved by eliminating all the RS sources mentioned in that sentence, as you have now done, because that leads to giving the reader no information at all of the fact that several scientists representing different research fields have supported AAH.

[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Pteridophyte, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Egg cell (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Happy Earth Day!

Hello! Wishing you a Happy Earth day on the behalf of WikiProject Environment and WikiProject Ecology.

When man tries to fight nature, he invariably loses. Nature invariably wins. It is only when man is wise enough to live with nature that he really gets anywhere.
