Please do not add or change content, as you did at Havana syndrome, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. JBW (talk) 11:48, 2 April 2024 (UTC)


 * I would like to second JBW's word of caution here. This page is pretty heavily watched to ensure neutrality. I would strongly recommend reviewing WP:RS and WP:MEDRS before proceeding further. Simonm223 (talk) 12:07, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

I see that after I informed you of the need for citing sources you made another very similar edit, adding extensive material to an article without citing any source to show where it came from. Moreover, you also gave an edit summary which made it clear that where it came from was your own guess about what was likely to be true. Since almost anyone can edit Wikipedia, there is nothing to stop people from coming along and posting whatever they like, including stuff they have just made up themselves. Therefore we cannot accept material purely on the basis that someone who has chosen to create a Wikipedia account says so: we need the material to be verifiable by citations to reliable sources. Please bear that in mind for any future editing. If you continue to post statements into articles with no more justification than the fact that you personally believe them, then you may be blocked from editing by an administrator.

One more point. A Wikipedia article must be written from a neutral point of view, and must not express the opinions of the people who wrote it. Therefore no article should ever use expressions such as "The way I see it..." JBW (talk) 20:30, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

Welcome!
Hello, Cameopath9, 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 Questions page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have!
