Hello, I'm Citrusbowler. I noticed that you recently removed some content from The Independent Institute without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry: I restored the removed content. If you would like to experiment, you can use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks!

Removing information

You have been attempting to remove cited information from the article about The Independent Institute with the explanation that the information contains "major factual error, per a Sr VP at the Institute". Wikipedia relies much more on reliable sources to verify information than on the unverified word of an unnamed executive at the subject company. If you can provide a reliable source to contradict the facts that have been presented, than please do so. If instead you claim that the facts presented do not represent the facts as reflected in the reliable sources (it does sometimes happen that people pick and choose facts from sources and cite the sources to back up their own slanted perspective), then you should present your case on the talk page and allow a discussion of the issue rather than simply removing cited facts.
