User talk:Sdobra2

Hello, Sdobra, and welcome to Wikipedia! I can see you are trying to help at the article Paradise, California. However, your additions have been problematic and have been reverted. Your change of the number of people killed is incorrect; the 80+ number cited in Time Magazine refers to all deaths from the Camp Fire, not just in Paradise. Your addition of a claim about people not being notified needs to have support from a reliable source, not just your saying so. I'm afraid "Personal experience of Paradise resident" is not accepted for Wikipedia purposes, see Original research. If you can find some published source saying it, then we might be able to use it. Above all, when something has been reverted you should not insert it again. That's called edit warring and can get you in trouble if you keep doing it. So here's what you should do: post a message at Talk:Paradise, California and explain what you want to do and why. I understand that you feel very passionate about this because of your personal experience, and we will try to find ways to use your input, but we will have to find published information to support it. -- MelanieN (talk) 02:03, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
 * P.S. I have found some published information about the problems with notification - https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/paradise-fire-survivors-say-warnings-were-too-little-too-late-n935846 - and I'll see if I can incorporate it into the article. -- MelanieN (talk) 02:06, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
 * I have added a sentence about people not getting notified. -- MelanieN (talk) 02:17, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
