User talk:Libyan10

Hello
I noticed your inquiry at the Tea House, and just thought I'd check out your Libyan American page and provide some suggestions:
 * Try to find some "official" sites; for example:
 * American-Libyan Council (ALC)
 * Libyan-American Industry And Commerce Chamber, LLC
 * Perhaps? Libyan American Youth (facebook)

Anyway, good luck and have fun! ~E 74.60.29.141 (talk) 05:12, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Be sure to include redirects for "American-Libyan", Libyan-American, etc.
 * Try to find WP articles that include the term(s), and have them link to your page.
 * Notable Libyan Americans? (Jawal Nga, Mansour Omar El-Kikhia, etc.)
 * P.s.: my primary talk page is here, but I might not be able to respond quickly.

Edit to Tripoli
Greetings, you made the following edit at Tripoli: "Most of the residents of the city are primary ethnic Arabs and black Africans from Sub-Saharan Africa. 95% of the city's population speaks Arabic."

For something as sensitive as demographics, and a number as specific as "95%", we really need to have a proper WP:Citation to prove it. How do you know 95% is accurate? Did you read it somewhere? If so, definitely please add a footnote to where you read it. Is it something you "just know", "everybody knows", or just a good guess? In that case it's WP:Original research and it must be removed. I'm sure you can understand, Wikipedia needs rock-solid sourcing for facts, otherwise we just don't have any stability to articles since you might say 95%, another guy 90% and another 99%, and we'd have no way of proving who's the accurate number.

Could you please either add a citation (GoogleBooks is a great place to check) or remove that info you added? Your work so far is great, it just needs a bit more strength of sourcing to bring it into Wiki standards, but you're off to a very strong start! MatthewVanitas (talk) 15:23, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Libya, but we cannot accept original research. Original research 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. ''Wikipedia has to be based on quality published sources (see WP:RS), not on editors' own experience. In fact, the latter is expressly prohibited. (see WP:NOR). I removed your unsourced (and most probably wrong) edits.''  kashmiri 16:25, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
