[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add content (particularly if you change facts and figures), as you have to the article Star Trek (film), please cite a reliable source for the content you're adding or changing. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. Take a look at Wikipedia:Citing sources for information about how to cite sources and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. We aren't here for "truth" we are here for what can be proved. If you can't deal with that then this is not the place for you.... Hell In A Bucket (talk) 14:49, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did to Star Trek (film). Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 16:46, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bucket: my "source" is the definition of the word orbit. However, after making the change the word "orbital" will no longer appear. Therefore, I should not use it as a reference and instead just explain the concept to whoever is trying to use that word- you. Carves (talk) 16:50, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That wouild count as WP:OR and not allowed....Face it, it isn't your viewpoint we are using nor mine, WP:NPOV. It only matters what's sourced and this one is. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 16:53, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Then use the movie itself as a source and call it a "space jump". "orbital" is only used by people who don't know what orbital means and ALSO don't remember what term was used in the movie. Something wrong, with a source, is still wrong- even on wikipedia. I can't use orbit as a reference on my edit since I'd be referencing something that is no longer refered to. I could reference the "bad astronomy" link if you'd like though.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 17:31, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah a blog doesn't count as a "reliable" reference. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 17:34, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
