Welcome!

Hello , and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

At Wikipedia, new Users do not automatically receive a welcome; not even a machine-generated welcome. Welcome messages come from other Users. They are personal and genuine. They contain an offer of assistance if such assistance is ever desired.

I suggest to everyone I welcome that they may find some of the following helpful &mdash; there’s nothing personal in my suggestion and you may not need any of them: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place  on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome! Dolphin ( t ) 12:14, 28 September 2022 (UTC)

Original research
Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Discharge of radioactive water of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, 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. --TuomoS (talk) 14:14, 14 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi, I'd hardly call what I wrote original research but it certainly could do with citing some references. That's one of the reasons that I commented as I did when I did the edit.
 * Do you think the addition would be acceptable if fully adorned with references, or would it also not be acceptable for other reasons?
 * My objective as I tried to say in the title was to give some perspective, because a lot of discussion on the subject is irrational. Ged Haywood (talk) 15:31, 14 January 2023 (UTC)


 * If you can find the information in some reliable sources, then it should be OK. Your Edit summary suggested that you presented your own calculations, which is against Wikipedia's guidelines (except if they are "routine calculations", such as basic arithmetic). --TuomoS (talk) 17:25, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
