Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative
Welcome to Wikipedia. I just moved your addition to Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative to the article's talk page, because it is argumentative, unsourced, and written in the first person. Such additions are usually just deleted, but I assume that your sincere intent is to improve the article. If you really want to correct the article, you should learn to properly cite reliable sources (often online articles from mainstream newspapers or magazines; look at the other citations in the article) for the facts you give, and write in an encyclopedic style. There should be no writing in the first person in the text of an article. Do not refer to a statement of fact (as opposed to a quoted opinion) in an article as false or inaccurate: if a statement is false, it should simply be deleted. If a statement is inaccurate because it shows only one side of an issue, the you might add "according to supporters, .." or "the intent of the initiative was ...", then preface the counter-argument by "However, ..." I know that all this sounds like a lot of work, but if you don't want your addition to be deleted, you will have to learn the Wikipedia guidelines. Regards. Plazak (talk) 01:28, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
