Hello, I'm Bradv. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person   on Donald Trump–Russia dossier, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! Brad v  18:06, 1 February 2017 (UTC)

Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living (or recently deceased) persons, as you did to Donald Trump–Russia dossier. Thank you. Brad v  18:08, 1 February 2017 (UTC)

Please stop adding unreferenced or poorly referenced biographical content, especially if controversial, to articles or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at Donald Trump–Russia dossier. Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory and is in violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Brad v  18:11, 1 February 2017 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you violate Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy by inserting unsourced or poorly sourced defamatory or otherwise controversial content into an article or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at Donald Trump–Russia dossier.

Donald Trump–Russia dossier
Lynnfairlane, I hope now you can take a moment to read your talk page. I was trying to get your attention to stop adding that information to Donald Trump–Russia dossier, for a number of reasons: I hope this helps. I'm watching this page, so feel free to ask any questions here while you are blocked. In the future, keep an eye on this page so you can get feedback from other editors while you are editing.

 * 1) Wikipedia requires reliable sources for information added to the page. Twitter is not considered a reliable source, as anyone can write anything.
 * 2) We have a policy on biographies of living persons, which is very strict on making sure that we're not engaged in libel or making unfounded accusations.
 * 3) We have to abide by a neutral point of view policy. The edits you made are in no way neutral.
 * 4) We have discussed, at length, whether or not the assertions made in the dossier are true, and the consensus among editors is that we cannot imply that they are true, as our sources do not make that assertion. See our verifiability policy for details.

Hello! Bradv help

Very sorry, this is my first time using Wikipedia, and I didnt realize what I was doing. I do have information beyond twitter that I wish to add. I feel that it is important, and I want to do it the right way. I have never edited Wikipedia, and I thought someone was trying to stomp out my edits, and I kept putting in the reasons for edits, that I felt like someone was purposefully attacking me. Never realizing that you were messaging me. I promise to not do it again. It was a huge error on my part, I had no idea that the pages were watched so closely, and thought someone was trying to purposefully get rid of my information. I would really love another chance to do it the right way. thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lynnfairlane (talk • contribs) 21:03, February 1, 2017 (UTC)


 * Okay, your block is only for a day, so you'll be allowed to edit again soon enough. Please take the time to familiarize yourself with some of the links I've provided above, or you can start with The Five Pillars of Wikipedia. If you want to be unblocked sooner, the instructions are on the block notice above. Brad  v  21:06, 1 February 2017 (UTC)

Thank you! I already am!

I also see on this page there is a place for some opposing views which may be more appropriate. Is there another page for the Dossier information that I can use? As a part of that twitter feed, there are a lot of documents and sources. I was thinking the twitter feed would be a good source to reference what he said, Dworkin. and then the website would be a good source for the death of that spy, which I think should definitely be a part of the page. Have you looked at the twitter feed to see the sorts of information I was looking to add? I will take my time with it and make sure I add to the right page. I had no idea you were even messaging me before. lol — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lynnfairlane (talk • contribs) 21:14, February 1, 2017 (UTC)
 * There is no place for information from a twitter feed to be placed on Wikipedia, especially if the information violates the policy on biographies of living persons. Please read the articles I linked above, particularly WP:RS, WP:NPOV, and WP:BLP. Oh, and please remember to sign your posts by placing four tildes at the end, like this: ~ Brad  v  22:12, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
