Welcome and a question
Hi! Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that you removed a sentence from the Bill's Bus article, but you didn't explain why. It's usually a good idea to explain most edits, especially potentially controversially edits, by typing a note into the "edit summary" field while working on the article. Is there an explanation? I had added that sentence to the article because I wanted it to be as complete as possible about Bill's Bus based on available sources, but I also know that the Daily Nexus is not always the most reliable source. If this information is true, it's probably good to include. Thanks! Dreamyshade (talk) 11:15, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

No Problem- This information is simply not accurate. Bill Bought out Tim as a partner for 30,000. The DUI conviction occurred after the transaction was complete and had nothing to do with his ownership of the bus or the partnerships demise. Due to the falling out of the partnership and buyers remorse, Bill went to the Daily Nexus and connected the events in an effort to embarrass Tim. I could document these events but it is irrelevant as Wikipedia is supposed to be objective information not a place for personal vendettas.

Thanks for the explanation! (Check out Signatures for instructions on how to sign your posts on Talk pages.) Is there some kind of documentation for these events in a secondary source, such as an article in a newspaper? Or did the Daily Nexus print a correction at some point? Wikipedia's criteria for including information is "verifiability, not truth" &mdash; see Verifiability for details about how this works &mdash; which helps ensure that editors present facts confirmed by journalists and experts, instead of including what editors want to say (see also No original research). If this disagreement was significant enough to be reported on, it might be significant enough to include in the article. Dreamyshade (talk) 15:35, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
