Original research
I understand and respect your desire to see that the Abby Johnson article includes some counters to her claims and stances. However, the way you're doing so is problematic under Wikipedia's guidelines. If you read our guidelines on "original research", you'll find "To demonstrate that you are not adding OR, you must be able to cite reliable, published sources that are directly related to the topic of the article, and directly support the material being presented." So if you found a mainstream article that says that Johnson was wrong because of XYZ, then that would be fine... but simply finding a source that says "Johnson said ABC" and a different source that says "XYZ is true", or even "ABC is not true", cannot be used to build the implication that Johnson was wrong. (This concern falls particularly heavily on articles or statements about folks who are still alive, per our Biographies of Living Persons policy.) --Nat Gertler (talk) 03:08, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
