False Claims Act edit - sourcing, weight, and COI
About this edit that you made... this is problematic for a few reasons. First, one of our fundamental principles is that all content in Wikipedia has to be based on what we call a "reliable source". Please see WP:VERIFY and WP:RS. Additionally, content added to an article has to make sense in the overall context of the article. If something is really important, it gets a lot of space, and if something is not so significant, it gets a little bit of space. We call issues related to this, issues of "weight", and they are discussed in another policy we have called "neutral point of view" (WP:NPOV) - specifically the section on "undue weight" ((WP:UNDUE).  There are lots of policies and guidelines here - they have grown up naturally over the years, to help this community, where anyone can edit - work peacefully together.. the policies and guidelines create a kind of body of law -- this place is not a wild west). Finally, if you are Jon Hunt-Sharman, the subject of the added content, please be aware that you should not write about yourself in Wikipedia. Instead, you should go to the talk page of the relevant article, and suggest content there, and let uninvolved editors make the judgement about what belongs in WIkipedia. Please see WP:COI - specifically the section on writing about yourself. Good luck. Jytdog (talk) 11:51, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
