Hello, I'm Donner60. I noticed that you made a change to an article, California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Donner60 (talk) 17:29, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

 * You make serious allegations in your edit. You cite a pending court case number. This means these are as yet unproved allegations. Moreover, that court case number is not a source that a reader can go to in order to verify the claims made, which Wikipedia requires for controversial statements.

 * In response to your inquiry on my talk page, I have written there: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia which publishes facts, which if at all controversial or questionable, must be supported by verifiable and reliable sources, not by personal observations or opinions. It does not publish allegations or speculations or arguments. Criticism sections are not open to criticism from the general public. They only report criticisms made by scholars or authors or impartial critics or other reliable sources. They relate for the most part to theories, which are notable in themselves. There are many outlets on the internet for opinions and allegations. Please see What Wikipedia is not, especially What Wikipedia is not, What Wikipedia is not and What Wikipedia is not.


 * Since I am just an individual volunteer editor, I cannot change Wikipedia guidelines or policy. Your request could be addressed to Village pump (policy). Donner60 (talk) 18:24, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
