Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a Wikipedia:Neutral point of view|neutral point of view. A contribution you made to Mairead Corrigan appears to carry a non-neutral point of view, and your edit may have been changed or reverted to correct the problem. Please remember to observe this important core policy. Thank you. RashersTierney (talk) 01:12, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

I agree that the the article I linked bares a different point of view to the currently consensual one. I thought it is allowed since it is in the external links section. I still believe that access to different points of view enrich Wikipedia and make it something even better. Thought it is critical to the subject, I feel it is an important contribution to the page. One may argue that the other external links are very positive to the subject thus are non-neutral as well. If I add a comment to the link -" A critical article in an Israeli news paper" would it help return it to the page? please elaborate on your opinion, I am new to wikipedia. Mayallbehappy1 (talk) 07:28, 5 October 2010 (UTC) I would like to point out that all claims in the article have credible references Mayallbehappy1 (talk) 08:02, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Its not because it advocates a different point of view that I removed this link (though a fundamental of Wikipedia is that articles should be written from a Neutral Point of View). Its problematic because the page is a stand alone google doc, presumably a translation, linking to a blog. Blogs are generally not to be linked. You should also note particular restrictions which apply in relation to writing about living persons. If you feel the external link is valid, please make your case at the relevant Talk Page. I'll include some links below on editing essentials. RashersTierney (talk) 09:40, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

Welcome!

Hello, Mayallbehappy1, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one of your contributions does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!
