Synthesis of published material at Port Orford meteorite hoax
Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Port Orford meteorite hoax, 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. Thank you. ☆ Bri (talk) 00:08, 2 June 2018 (UTC)

Help with Port Orfrord Hoax article
Please help me with...

You deleted my contributions to the Port Orford Meteorite Hoax article, yet I am the source for one of the sources of the article. The source article by Finn John, Was It All a Big Hoax?, references my article in Strange Horizons magazine, I am JD Adams. The Hoax article does not maintain a neutral tone and ignores reliable sources, mainly the article from Ruby Hult in 1957, close to the original stakeholders and exhaustively researched. The main point of contention, the similarity to the Imilac specimen, has been destroyed by what cosmologists have known for decades - that Pallasite meteorites come from a parent planetoid. It's not new material, we're talking about a hoax theory that defames a dead man, Mr. Evans, without definitive proof. Bottom line, please consider that Wikipedia has already accepted me as a source of the Finn John article that you reference. This is my original article: http://strangehorizons.com/non-fiction/articles/the-port-orford-meteorite/

 * Hi and welcome to Wikipedia. As an essay on experts says, "The mission of Wikipedia is to provide articles that summarize accepted knowledge regarding their subjects." This speaks to why removed your information. On Wikipedia everything needs to be paraphrasing reliable sources.We have rules against synthesizing those sources or doing new or what we call original research. I would encourage you to give WP:EXPERT a read as it might provide a useful context for you. If you have further questions feel free to ping me by starting your message with  and make sure to sign this with your signature by end the message with ~ or by leaving a message on my talk page.
