Sources, original research, own work

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Special relativity, please cite a reliable source for your addition. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Please also have a look at wp:secondary sources, wp:COI, wp:NOR, wp:fringe. Cheers - DVdm (talk) 13:14, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

Copied from my talk to here. Let's have it all in one place.

Hi DVdm - i am a novice here. I edited the No absolute framework in special relativity. You responded very quickly. I think you want me to insert or cite a verification reference? Sorry how do i do that? The only reference i can make is by virtue of the book recently published by amazon. It provides a new outlook, and meaning and mechanism for the expansion of the universe and how it determines the speed of light. As yet not thought of by any scientist! Please advise

kind regards

Did you have a look at the pointers I gave above (wp:secondary sources, wp:COI, wp:NOR, wp:fringe)? I'm afraid that if no other authors have mentioned your new theory and your book, there is no place for it in Wikipedia yet. Please take some time to acquaint yourself with our policies. Cheers - DVdm (talk) 14:34, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

Thanks - yes read the laws. I think my theory falls into the category of continental drift. I presenting a new theory which determines the speed of light which is the expansion of the universe all around us. It will take time for the community to digest this then agree with it. Then I suspect will qualify for mainstream inclusion into wikipia. How can i present and in what from reliable secondary sources?? thanks again92.130.58.70 (talk) 10:35, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

It looks like you forgot to log on to edit with your username.

I'm afraid there is no way you can present your theory in Wikipedia unless and before it is widely covered by so-called wp:secondary sources in the mainstream scientific literature. You'll have to be patient. - DVdm (talk) 11:12, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
