Hi Hockingtruth:

I have no wish to argue about the truth or otherwise of the information about Hocking College. I know almost nothing about Hocking College.

The point is that if you or someone else wants to create a website or buy an ad to make an accusation about the way the College is run, you can do so. You might be sued or charged or something. That is your risk. But if you use Wikipedia to post an accusation, Wikipedia might also get sued or charged. Wikipedia does not know if the accusation is true and does not wish to get sued or charged.

So the Wikipedia policy is not to let you, or anybody else, put up accusations and other contentious material unless there are good sources given.

The third source in the article is dubious. Is there a news report that the alleged investigations are underway?

Sure, the report that the College operates a fish hatchery could use a reference to a story about the fish hatchery. Some people might like to know more about the hatchery. But that information is not as contentious as the other stuff, so the references are not essential.
