Hello, I'm Mr Potto. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Douglas Biklen, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

It is not acceptable to add editorializing or opinion to a Wikipedia article written in Wikipedia's own voice - and you'd need a reliable source to add it in a third-party voice.

So it is not acceptable, for example, to write "..unfortunately continues to exist as a discredited practice" in Wikipedia's voice - firstly because claiming it is discredited without providing a source is not acceptable, and even if you did provide a source it is not for Wikipedia to state whether or not something is unfortunate.

If you could find and provides sources that support it, you could maybe write something like "...has been largely discredited  " where the  denotes a reliable source that supports the claim.

Also, "Multiple studies in several countries have demonstrated that..." should not be claimed unless you can provide a source supporting it - perhaps the studies themselves, or, better, a source summarising those studies.

Please see WP:RS to learn about the need for reliable sources, and WP:CITE to learn how to cite them. Mr Potto (talk) 15:54, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

Please STOP what you are doing. If you continue to add totally unsourced content and opinion to Douglas Biklen, you could end up blocked from editing. If you disagree with my reverts of your additions, please discuss it on the article Talk page. Mr Potto (talk) 15:55, 14 July 2015 (UTC)
