We hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on talk and vote pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 12:39, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Reliable sources are needed

[edit]

Content in articles need to be supported by reliably published sources. Self published content such as scribid is completely unacceptable. Bergsteins promotional ID from his op ed pieces is completely inappropriate for promotional claims about him etc. Wikipedia is NOT an advertising platform to gild his lily, content must be presented from a neutral point of view. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 21:55, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

We are not here to provide "equal time" - we present what the mainstream, academic view of the subject. If the mainstream academic view is "one sided", that is what the article will present. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 22:22, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The best way to move forward is to present your suggestions on the talk page. Bite sized changes/additions with the appropriate sources, and wait for discussion and consensus. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 22:29, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
