Hello, I'm Malik Shabazz. I wanted to let you know that some of your recent contributions to Talk:Tawana Brawley rape allegations have been reverted or removed because they could be seen to be defamatory or libellous. Take a look at our welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 18:52, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

Please do not add defamatory content to Wikipedia, as you did to Talk:Tawana Brawley rape allegations, especially if it involves living persons. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 22:04, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

Greetings Malik Shabazz:

After reviewing Wikipedia "Five Pillars", "Citing Sources", and "Verifiability", it appears that the content of a court transcript and verdict sheet do not violate Wikipedia rules because of the factual accuracy of these types of documents. "Factual Accuracy" is required by Wikipedia when dealing with a "living person".

Is it your understanding, Malik Shabazz, that a court transcript and verdict sheet constitute "factual accuracy"? If yes then what are the exclusions based on Wikipedia rules? If a court transcript and verdict sheet do not, in your opinion, constitute "factual accuracy", then what is the basis for this position?

Thank you for your insight,

 * Hi Coyote07055,
 * I don't know (and frankly don't care) what you think the court transcript or verdict sheet say. On Wikipedia, we rely on reliable, published secondary sources in order to avoid arguments over interpretations of primary sources, such as court transcripts. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 04:32, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
