User talk:Dr. James Freidland

Hello and welcome to wikipedia. I see you have added an account of a possible sighting to the Ball lightning article. Thanks for trying to improve the article but I see this is your first edit under a new account name and I would like to point out a couple of problems with the edit. First of all, you marked it as a minor edit but that classification is reserved for very minor changes such as adding punctuation - not adding a whole new paragraph. Secondly, additions such as this need to have a citation from a reliable published source (see: wp:verifiability) or it is likely to be removed. If this sighting has been published somewhere you need to add a citation for it as we don't use original research. You can add a citation using the tool with the double curly brackets on the editing toolbar. Richerman   (talk) 23:27, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
