Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but we regretfully cannot accept original research. Original research also encompasses novel, unpublished syntheses of previously published material. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your information.

 * Can you help me find a source on the section I added in? It's very important to me that I put it on there, but I'm having a hard time with the 'resources' thing as I'm new to wikipedia and that was my first edit.
 * Can you tell me how this is relevant to Oak Bay? I don't see the relevance.  Dethme0w (talk) 04:01, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Further to this, I would like to alert you to some policies on Wikipedia that you may not be aware of. First off, Wikipedia is not a soap box.  You may not use Wikipedia to make political statements or complain about being evicted.  Second, Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought.  The edit you made to Oak Bay, British Columbia appears to be something of your own invention.  If I am wrong about this, then you need to cite reliable sources for example, newspaper articles to support your claims.  And of course, there is the basic geographical fact that Pedder Bay is 13 miles, as the crow flies, from the nearest point in Oak Bay.  This issue does not belong in an article about Oak Bay.  And because Wikipedia is not a soapbox or a publisher of original thought, I don't think the issue belongs in Wikipedia.  You also have to consider whether this issue is notable enough for inclusion in an encyclopedia with a world wide audience.  Land owners evict their tenants so they can redevelop all the time.  Why is Pedder Bay any different?  You have to show how for your comments (ignoring the other issues) to be suitable for an encyclopedia. Dethme0w (talk) 04:12, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

-Understood. You have made me understand that what is happening is not note-worthy and that it doesn't matter if people are or are not evicted from their home to a world-wide audience. I guess I'll tell no one. I wrote that it was in Oak Bay from asking a friend who lives in Pedder Bay. I've lost interest in spreading the story because now it seems too hard.


 * Please understand that it's not that your issue is insignificant to a world-wide audience, just that it's (sadly) another example of a problem that is very common. And it is soapboxing which we don't allow here.  I would encourage you to create a website of your own to draw attention to this issue.  Dethme0w (talk) 04:21, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Hello, I'm FuriouslySerene. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Lucy DeCoutere seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. 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. FuriouslySerene (talk) 18:11, 24 March 2016 (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 Lucy DeCoutere. ''Please stop adding that content to the page. Everything on Wikipedia, particularly articles of living people, must be written from a neutral point of view. If you have questions, let me know, but please ask before adding it again.'' FuriouslySerene (talk) 20:38, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

Please stop attacking other contributors, as you did on this edit to User:Dethme0w. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing. -- The Voidwalker  Discuss 21:25, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
