Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Sven Hassel, but we cannot accept original research. Original research 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. Thank you. Saddhiyama (talk) 14:38, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Sven Hassel. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Saddhiyama (talk) 09:11, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

I make specific changes to my clients. Currently made ​​changes to the family of the writer Sven Hassel. Specifically, the request comes from his son and granddaughter, which I have indicated the changes to give more accuracy to Sven Hassel biographical text. If necessary we can provide the necessary accreditations to require anyone who wants them, but the text and links we mention the author's website and other websites have posted news about the author. I can prove my sources and I do reference to the websites where the same text is already published. What else you need to prove the veracity of my sources?


 * Svendhassel.net is the homepage of the author, and thus a WP:primary source regarding his biography. A primary source can only be used to source the opinion of the author of that source, that is, their claim that it happened in that way. So anything sourced with that should be worded "Hassel claimed", "According to Hassel himself" etc, since it is not verifiable facts but opinions. Regarding the name missing from the Bovrup Registry, that is original research, since there can be a number of reasons why he doesn't appear in that list (it isn't an infallible document), so you would need a secondary reliable source (most likely that of an historian) that makes the claim that that fact would ivariable mean he never was a member of the party. Otherwise I could just as easily produce the court documents in the various criminal cases against Hassel the occurred during the war, proving that he spent most of his time in Denmark during those 5 years. But I can't according to policy, since that would also be WP:OR. I hope I have made the Wikipedia policies a bit clearer to you, they can be somewhat daunting. --Saddhiyama (talk) 09:42, 23 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Upon reading your reply it seems that you are perhaps also in breach of the Wikipedia policies regarding conflict of interest, since you state that you edit on behalf of the family. You would perhaps be better off advising the relatives of Hassel to contact an author or historian, and get them to write a book on the subject using those accreditives you mention. That would (likely) be considered a reliable source in Wikipedia, but we can't engage in "correcting history" here ourselves. --Saddhiyama (talk) 09:46, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

I have copied the above to the talk page of the article, since it is more appropriate that this discussion is being carried out there. --Saddhiyama (talk) 09:54, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I think you go over the policies of Wikipedia, because there is already inserted text that has no qualifications, or who claim these accreditations. How do you know that these texts were inserted by historians?, And what if they are based references? Sven Hassel is an author of books, not a politician. I'm aware of the family's comments on this issue, to give you an answer.


 * Well, first of all two wrongs doesn't make a right, but I actually have noticed some quite obvious original research problems in the criticism section as well, and I will remove them forthwith. I think you misunderstand me if you have gotten the impression that you have to be an historian to add information to Wikipedia, that is not the case. I was talking about the sources cited, you will need secondary reliable sources for such claims, especially controversial ones, and that is usually, but not always, the work of historians or journalists in these kind of cases. --Saddhiyama (talk) 21:35, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
