Affirmative Action
Hello. In order to assert something as fact in Wikipedia, it must be reported in a verifiable reliable source. A table of numbers that is subject to interpretation is not considered a reliable source for a statement that "affirmative action prevents qualified Asians from attaining positions in medical school". Find a newspaper or magazine article in a reputable source that makes the assertion. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz 04:16, 12 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Please refrain from making personal attacks.
 * The problem with the material you are trying to add is that it is original research. As I wrote above, find an article from a verifiable reliable source that reported the facts you wish to include in the article. Then there shouldn't be a problem—except that you're working in the wrong article. Affirmative action is about affirmative action around the world. I think you mean to be editing Affirmative action in the United States. — Malik Shabazz 04:30, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
