Hello, I'm Jim1138. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Ann Coulter, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Jim1138 (talk) 03:37, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

I apologize for the premature edit. When I read the source I was under the impression that the source's story was a recollection and not absolute truth, hence the "she claims". However after reading it again I saw that the recollection was from someone that was part of the dinner that wasn't Ann Coulter. I meant zero harm. Good catch! I'm still getting the hang of Wiki.

This incident brings a question. What is to stop someone from writing something in a website or blog and the someone using that as a source? I'm not saying that this is the case in this situation but just from a general perspective.
 * Yes, that is a constant problem. There is policy: wp:NOTRS, specifically WP:SELFPUBLISHED. If you wish, I will dump a number of policy, style, and other links here. You can copy them to your user page: user:Aebosch for easy access. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 04:59, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

Weasel words and OR
Wikipedia reflects sources, not one's opinion on what happened. Unless the source states "she claims", just quote the source. See WP:No original research and wp:weasel Thank you Jim1138 (talk) 03:40, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
