Los Angeles Times bombing
Thank you for your contributions to the article Los Angeles Times bombing‎. However, your changes have been reverted for several reasons. First, you have a conflict of interest as the author of a book which makes alternative claims. Second, your research (as the author of a book on the subject) is not privileged over the research of other authors who have published books or articles on the subject. Wikipedia guidelines on citation of sources state that when published sources conflict, the conflicting claims/facts should be noted either in the text or footnote. You've merely removed claims and sources in favor of what generally appears to be uncited claims. Third, you've removed whole sections (which were cited), but provide no corrections or rationales (on the article Talk page) for removing them. Removing cited facts you don't like (for whatever reason there is) violates Wikipedia's guideline on the citation of sources. Fourth, you appear to have removed a number of citations which provided support for claims in the article, but apparently for no reason. Nor have you provided no new or better citations. I strongly urge you to read the Wikipedia guidelines on citing articles, the Wikipedia Manual of Style on editing articles, and the Wikipedia guidelines on avoiding conflicts of interest. While all editors are welcome to make stylistic changes to Wikipedia to improve grammar, punctuation, vocabulary, and so on, removing cited text and citations to existing text is problematic. - Tim1965 (talk) 14:53, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
