USS Akron (ZRS-4)
Hi! You may have noticed that I reverted your edits at the USS Akron (ZRS-4) wikipedia article. The information you added is still preserved in the article history. Your reasoning for the changes may very well be accurate, but we are building an encyclopedia, and all information in articles must be verifiable. (SORRY? I MUST GOO? BUT I WILL RETURN TO EXPLAIN FURTHER AND OFFER HELP! Neonorange (talk) 18:59, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Well, I actually meant to type 'go', but evidently, spellcheckers ignore all caps.
 * To try and explain further—
 * your edit summary was very comlete and clear—and would be a good contribution on a talk page discussion of the problem you assumed to be in the article. But information in Wikipedia articles must verifible. The test is verifiability rather than truthfulness. We use references that are considered reliable based on Wikipedia policies: national news organizations, scholarly, peer-reviewed journals, but generally not primary sources. In particular, Wikipedia policies forbid orignal reasearch or synthesis. This prohibition would include your argument about the volume of the Acron—not because of the validity (or not) of the argument, but because we require a source that has been fact-checked, peer-reviewed, or published by an established academic or other type of publisher.
 * Wikipedia does not really have an editorial structure. All of our editors (also known as users) are equal, with no oversight other than our policies and interpretations. We have no moderators. Wikipedia administrators(about 1300 editors) merely are users trusted with special tools to prevent damage to the encyclopedia. Our ideal is that the text of an article is determined by a consensus among the editors working on the article as to the best use of the best existing sources.
 * I think you should begin a section at the discussion page Talk:USS Akron (ZRS-4). I will be glad to help you with this, or you can request someone else to help as explained in the first section of this, your talk page.
 * Also, you could search for sources that can verify the volumes of the airships, and add clairfing text to the article, citing reliable sources. A blog cannot be used as a source because blogs lack the editoral control Wikipeda requires. I will be glad to help you, or you can ask others to help.
 * You have made a good start on Wikipedia; your use of the edit summary is greatly valued as it helps build a collaborative working environment. Your bold edit to correct what you preceive to be an error is important to Wikipedia. You caused no damage, and your edits are still preserved in the article history.

Thank you again for contributing to Wikipedia. I know Wikipedia has a great many policies and guiding essays. The best way to learn the ropes is by making the edits you think necessary. Then learn from the reactions to the changes you have made. I hope you will find working here a pleasure. —Neonorange (Phil) 06:30, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
