Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Simplified Manual of Style


 * Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or sock puppetry.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! Nikkimaria (talk) 15:30, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

Pearl Buck/ Sixties Scoop
Just a quick explanation for why I cut the paragraph on Buck's role in Sixties Scoop.

This would be relevant information, though a little too long and out of proportion, but 1) The Wikipedia policy WP:Verify requires reliable source, which a television report is generally not and 2) I cannot find even this cited source or any other which mentions Buck or her role with Google searches "Tim Fontaine, Aboriginal Peoples Television Network - APTN, Tim Fontaine, 2012 Pearl Buck" or "Find Link" 3) Less important, but the article Sixties Scoop does not mention her.

If you can find such a source, please restore a shorter version, which would be of interest to me and many readers.ch (talk) 04:08, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for the explanation. I'm going to shorten the original entry And provide original source of this information which is 'National Archives of Canada'. I can also provide the original paperwork, documentation that is on Pearl S Buck - Welcome House Adoption Agency own letterhead. When we 1st provided this information on Wikipedia in 2012, however, those primary sources were not considered acceptable sources. Are they now acceptable? 4.35.92.20 (talk) 10:09, 18 May 2015 (UTC)
