Hi,
I saw that the page for Magic City Morning Star has been protected because of my attempts at edits. I don't understand why my edits are worse than the current page. The page, as currently written is blatantly inaccurate and years out of date. It makes claims that are totally unsourced. Are unsourced claims okay if they have been on the page for years? For instance, the politicians listed as "contributors" never did any such thing, and those claims are unsourced anyways. I attempt to note the "contributors" did not actually contribute, and my edit is destroyed. Would it be better to simply delete the "contribution" section altogether? Help me out here.

Your edits were reverted because your comment about certain politicians' contribution was nothing but unsourced original research, and your links to certain articles was not backed up by a reliable source that this was what was happening - rather, that was just your own personal synthesis of events. The fact that multiple editors reverted your edits should have clued you in that there was a problem - constantly trying to ram your own interpretation of events into articles when you don't understand why you're being reverted is not going to work around here, and that is why an administrator locked the article to keep you from doing it again.

Why is the claim that those people ARE contributors anything but unsourced original research? Why is totally factually inaccurate material allowed in the entry? It just seems wrong to me that the stuff on the page can be unsourced and wrong, but when I add a disclaimer as to why it is wrong that gets removed. Shouldn't the claim that people, including the Governor of Maine, have contributed to this site be backed up by some source? It just isn't true. Amglolz (talk) 17:21, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
