November 2014

Hello, I'm Donner60. I noticed that you made a change to an article, A Whiter Shade of Pale, 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) 19:59, 2 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Since the edit is essentially your interpretation, it is original research. Wikipedia does not include original research. See Wikipedia:No original research. See also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought. Since you undoubtedly did not know this, I am deleting the above message in the manner prescribed by the guidelines (strike through). Also, Wikipedia itself can not be a source. Of course, any valid reliable, verifiable secondary sources cited in an article that supports an addition to another article can be used. See Wikipedia:Verifiability. The entire page explains the policies and guidelines in detail but see Wikipedia:Verifiability#Wikipedia and sources that mirror or use it in particular.
