Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Hollow Earth, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. TornadoLGS (talk) 02:22, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Hollow Earth. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Liliana (UwU) 02:29, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Also, please see WP:FRINGE. TornadoLGS (talk) 02:31, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
 * The experiment was done by Don Pettit, you can clearly hear his voice in the video. Drownedthought (talk) 02:34, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
 * The video, though, does not say anything about hollow Earth. So to infer it as supporting hollow Earth is synthesis, which is not permitted. It is a poor analogy anyway. TornadoLGS (talk) 02:37, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I see.
 * Saying it's a poor analogy is your opinion.
 * So if there is another video of someone, who is making the synthesis, should I use that as the source instead? Drownedthought (talk) 02:46, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
 * The analogy fails since the sphere of water has no significant gravity, unlike a planetary-mass object, but that's all I'll say on that matter. Sources can be added if they are reliable. However, YouTube videos, generally are not reliable sources. Admittedly, you would likely be hard-pressed to find such a source supporting that position, since most would be considered fringe.

Please do not insert fringe or undue weight content into articles, as you did to Hollow Earth. An article should not give undue weight to any aspects of the subject but should strive to treat each aspect with a weight appropriate to its significance to the subject. Please use the article's talk page to discuss the material and its appropriate weight within the article. Also, please note that an editor reverting more than three times in 24 hours will violate the Three Revert Rule of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. This should go to the article's talk page before it goes any further. TornadoLGS (talk) 04:36, 29 August 2022 (UTC)


 * The whole subject is fringe.
 * Undue weight content? Drownedthought (talk) 04:46, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

I did read my talk page. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.
