User talk:BAKeenan

Welcome!
Hello, BAKeenan, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, your edit to Mont Pelerin Society does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. Below are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! – S. Rich (talk) 04:17, 11 March 2019 (UTC)

To explain further, the citation you provided lacked specific page references; rather it was a repeat of the general theme of Professor MacLean's book. (We want the readers to know where they can find the material.) Also, please look at synthesis. We cannot take material from one source (her book) and use it to to explain another issue (e.g., MPS) unless the sources are focused on the same topic. That is, did MacLean address the connection between the Kochs and MPS? If not, then we cannot use her material to comment on MPS. (ALSO, her book received severe criticism from the academic community. Accordingly, her stand-alone assertions do not have WP:BALANCE.) For more info on contributing to WP, please see the WP:TUTORIAL. Thanks. – S. Rich (talk) 04:37, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
