Your Golden Parade edits[edit]

You wrote: "This is not WP:OR, it can be verified from the event itself, as stated, and the length of the route can be verified through search engine (google maps), which is why the reporter's "claim" needed to be balanced. And to my knowledge the word "claimed" is not prohibited on Wikipedia, I have seen many established users use it in such contexts; it doesn't imply that the reporter is right or wrong. I hope I'm not missing something here!"

There are several problems here, and yes, you are missing a few things. First of all, you should read WP:OR, in which you'll find that "can be verified from the event itself" is not a reliable source, and what you wrote is the very definition of original research.
While you can find the length of a route from Google Maps, you still need a reliable source saying exactly WHAT the route was, if you want to calculate it. It's not enough to simply say "I know the route and I looked up the length on Google Maps." That's WP:OR again.
The word "claimed" is not prohibited but it should be avoided. Please read MOS:CLAIM.
I hope this helps. Please don't revert again without discussing your proposed additions that violate several guidelines. Andrew Englehart (talk) 19:12, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
