"Prudence told this contributor..."[edit]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as those in Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, but we regretfully cannot accept original research. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your information. Thanks for your efforts, and happy editing! Nandesuka (talk) 13:45, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In regards to your message on my talk page: I'm not accusing you of being a "vandal." Rather, I'm acquainting you with Wikipedia's content policies. Original research is not acceptable in Wikipedia articles. Wikipedia does not publish original research (OR) or original thought. This includes unpublished facts, arguments, speculation, and ideas; and any unpublished analysis or synthesis of published material that serves to advance a position. This means that Wikipedia is not the place to publish your own opinions or experiences.

I certainly believe your story about what Prudence Farrow told you, but that doesn't change the fact that such a discussion of your personal conversations is inappropriate in an encyclopedia article. Nandesuka (talk) 15:17, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It was another editor who accused this person of being a vandal. P5g4xn, I hope you aren't discouraged by your first attempts to edit. Wikipedia can always use more contributors, including on the articles related to Maharishi. It's a matter of gradually becoming familiar with the policies and the community.
