 | Many magic secrets are closely guarded. In accordance with Wikipedia guidelines, only those with reliable and cited sources can be included in Wikipedia articles. If a secret cannot be verified through independent sources, it will be removed from the main article. Any "secret" revealed on this talk page may not be accurate; it may be speculative, erroneous, or even deliberately deceptive. |
Method was original research
[edit]The method of this article was deleted because it had no attribution, source, or citation.
See Wikipedia:Verifiability, and Wikipedia:No original research.
This is also in accordance with Wikipedia:WikiProject:Magic policy, as stated below:
If information about a method is quoted from another freely available source then it becomes more difficult for magicians to argue that Wikipedia is the point at which exposure is occurring. Proper citation of sources should also help to defend Wikipedia against any action for breach of confidentiality. In addition, some unsourced information on methods that has crept into Wikipedia appears speculative and inaccurate, which undermines the quality of the Magic Project generally and contravenes WP:NOR
It is therefore especially vital to adhere to WP:Attribution
--
If a method is added to an article but no reference is provided the following from WP:Attribution will apply:
"Any edit lacking attribution may be removed, and the final burden of evidence lies with the editor wishing to add or retain the material."
Given the sections above about controversial material and original research this can be applied immediately and overrides the practice of tagging information as unsourced and then waiting for a period to see whether citations are subsequently provided. A request for sources for a method should be placed on the talk page. Only when a full citation can be provided can the method be added to the article. It is recommended that a link to these guidelines be included in the message. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ShimmeryPhantom (talk • contribs) 21:31, 12 July 2015 (UTC)
