September 2013

Hello, I'm Yworo. I noticed that you made a change to an article, International Council of 13 Indigenous Grandmothers, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to International Council of 13 Indigenous Grandmothers. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Yworo (talk) 17:10, 20 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing original. Got it. Wikipedia is allowing a page to exist that is misleading... do something about that please! Nothing on the page points to the fact that there is no substantial evidence that 3 of the Grandmothers come from indigenous communities. Thank you! -Lola

So, what reliable source makes that observation? Yworo (talk) 05:34, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know about that, Yworo. I have not been able to find any controversy on this issue yet in articles. I don't want to be disrespectful but let me ask you this: What reliable sources do you have that the Mayan Grandmother actually comes from a Mayan community? What reliable sources do you have that the Brazilian Grandmothers are from an Indigenous Tribe? That is what I want, for the Wikipedia page either to reliably provide a home tribe for these elders or to point out that one has not been found yet. We have a responsibility to provide information that is objective and reliable, especially when it comes to Indigenous people who have had every part of their existence, violated. I am not against the Council and I do not have an agenda to de-fame them by any means. I do think information is lacking and more needs to be found out. Wikipedia should reflect that it isn't all out on the table. Thank you. -Lola
