The nature of the charge against the school regarding hazing in the 1960s and its deliberate ignorance of the problem requires a strong source, yet none is provided. It has been removed, again. If you have newspaper, magazine, book or other published sources to support your claims, please include them and I will be happy to put them in the proper format. Without the required sources, the material will be removed and will be treated as vandalism. Alansohn (talk) 15:19, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • I will share with you my discussion with one of your apparent alter egos. While I sympathize with your negative experience at the New York Military Academy, the nature of the charge against the school regarding hazing in the 1960s and its deliberate ignorance of the problem requires a strong source, yet none is provided. While God may be more flexible about sources (being omniscient, and all), Wikipedia requires independent, reliable and verifiable sources. The statement that "I am the source. I was a victim of hazing and saw hundreds of others hazed as well." satisfies your standard of verification, but does not meet Wikipedia standards. It has been removed, again. If you have newspaper, magazine, book or other published sources to support your claims, please include them and I will be happy to put them in the proper format. I don't work for NYMA, nor have I ever been a student, but I do know what Wikipedia policy requires. Without the required sources, the material will be removed and future unsourced additions will be treated as vandalism. Alansohn (talk) 19:23, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add unsourced or original content, as you did to New York Military Academy. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Click here for your latest unsourced edit. Wikipedia policy is clear on the subject. I am more than willing to help add any appropriate reliable sources if you can provide them, but without sources it has been removed again in accordance with Wikipedia policy.
