UFO incidents in South Korea
Hello ProfGeorge Campbell, and welcome to Wikipedia. I earlier today reverted (that is, removed) one of your edits to the article List of reported UFO sightings, and tomorrow I intend to revert the other, similar entry you made about another sighting in South Korea. I began a new section on the article's Talk page to explain why I did so, and I invite you to discuss the topic there. Because you are a new editor, however, I thought it best to also explain my action here on your own Talk page. Content in Wikipedia articles require explicit support of, and citation to, verifiable reliable sources. You can read all about reliable sources at WP:RS. I also encourage you to read WP:FRINGE, which deals with how Wikipedia deals with fringe topics like ufo sightings, including its sub-section WP:FRIND. I note here that YouTube videos are not reliable sources (see WP:RSPS), independent of the video producer, or who appears in them, or who writes them, etc. Our own personal interpretations and analyses of sources, which constitute original research, are also to be avoided (see WP:OR). Additionally it is impossible for me, and I would guess 99+% of the readers of the english-language Wikipedia, to judge the reliability of the Korean sources you used. The sources might be reliable, but they might just as easily be sensationalist, pro-fringe, and unreliable; i.e., unsuitable for an encyclopedia.

I recognize that I suggested a mountain of reading to you. By reading those policies, however, I believe you will not only understand the basis of my reversions, but will (I hope) understand the foundation upon which the reverted content might be restored. Feel free to engage further on my own Talk page, or better yet on the article Talk page, where other editors might provide suggestions and input. JoJo Anthrax (talk) 18:04, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
