User talk:CAbigpete

Welcome!

Hello, CAbigpete, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one of your contributions 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, you can just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here 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 Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! [NOTE: the previous text is one of several boilerplate welcome templates.]

Your edit to California Coastal Commission at expressed a non-neutral point of view and provided no references, which is, more or less, forbidden here. However, the POV you posted is not uncommon and you should be able to find sources that you could cite if you want to reintroduce similar text; a short summary of a few editorial positions in notable newspapers or political positions expressed by candidates for statewide office would probably work. You might want to offer a selection of opinions, or some other editor might consider the result unbalanced. Good luck, --Hjal (talk) 04:20, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
