2008 Chatsworth train collision
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article 2008 Chatsworth train collision, please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

I have reverted your edits as you didn't actually cite the actual sources used. For instance, you wrote: In a copyrighted interview with the Los Angeles Times (latimes.com), but immediately before your addition, there is a citation from the same newspaper:
 * The Los Angeles Times also published an editoral by columnist Patt Morrison sympathetic to Tyrrell's position, in which she says, "I am unclear of the concept of how the truth can somehow be premature. The truth is the truth."

I'm not sure how PACER or other Court Dockets should be referenced or cited, but I guess that if you cannot work it out from the above links, you can add a help me here, and someone else should hopefully show you how. Tim PF (talk) 07:50, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I have declined your reports at WP:AIV. Please do read the above message and examine our policies on referencing (e.g. WP:RS). Materialscientist (talk) 08:52, 25 May 2011 (UTC)


 * [[Image:Information.svg|25px|alt=|link=]] Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would like to remind you not to attack other editors, as you did on 2008 Chatsworth train collision. Please comment on the contributions and not the contributors. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. You are welcome to rephrase your comment as a civil criticism of the article. I specifically note your tirade in.
 * Whilst you may be correct that I am not a lawyer, you are wrong in almost all your other accusations against me, both there and at Administrator intervention against vandalism. More specifically, I am not in France, have no connections to any of the parties involved in that litigation, and my talk page has not been blocked (and I would see any comments you write here anyway).
 * As for "keep adding bull..." to this article, any good lawyer would take time to check the facts in the page's revision history, and see that I only I had only made one such edit. Please pound on the law or the facts, not on the table. Tim PF (talk) 16:28, 26 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Please note that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a legal document. It should not be relied on as a true account in itself, but it strives that all information should be reliably sourced (qv WP:RS), and should use a consistent style for all its articles (qv WP:MOS), including how those sources are cited.  As such, it does not need a lawyer licensed to practice in California or the Ninth Circuit to update this article, but it does need to correctly refer back to the court documents, regardless of whether they are freely available on the web, are behind a paywall, or only available in dead-tree format (qv WP:PAYWALL).
 * As I said the other day, I have not cited US court documents on Wikipedia before, so I cannot help you much there, but if you want to refer to such documents in articles, it shouldn't be too hard to learn the best way, preferably using the cite court template (qv Citing sources and Template:Cite court).

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia! I noticed that you recently added commentary to an article, 2008 Chatsworth train collision. While Wikipedia welcomes editors' opinions on an article and how it could be changed, these comments are more appropriate for the article's accompanying talk page. If you post your comments there, other editors working on the same article will notice and respond to them, and your comments will not disrupt the flow of the article. However, keep in mind that even on the talk page of an article, you should limit your discussion to improving the article. Article talk pages are not the place to discuss opinions of the subject of articles, nor are such pages a forum. Thank you. Tim PF (talk) 22:42, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
