User talk:Youth Supremacist

July 2018

Hello, I'm Donner60. I noticed that you made a change to an article, CBC News, 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) 22:08, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Age of majority. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Acroterion (talk) 23:50, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

@Donner60: and @Acroterion: Please do not revert my edits just because they contradict your misinformed Conservative beliefs. I may be young, but my views still matter. Youth Supremacist (talk) 02:56, 28 July 2018 (UTC)

Wikipedia, and reversion of your edits, is not about what anyone's views may be. My edits, including reversions, are intended to be in line with guidelines and I do this even if they contradict my personal views. You will find that I take the same stand regardless of the political nature of the subject or article or which political view it favors. If I am wrong or there are arguably valid sides, I will admit my mistake or not press the point. Here, however, and in general, following Wikipedia's guidelines on Verifiability are what matters. Otherwise, Wikipedia becomes just another blog or forum. At least, its neutrality and accuracy may be brought into question.

In the case of your edits, you are much better off citing a source than putting up with users who do have views and will challenge you. If you cannot cite a source, then this is simply your opinion and does not belong here. If you simply wish to express views without supporting them, there are many other forums on the internet to which you can post. Wikipedia:Verifiability, Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not a soapbox or means of promotion, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view.

Your age has nothing to do with this. Following the guidelines and policies does.

What Donner60 said, with the addition that maturity will teach you not to make inappropriate assumptions about complete strangers on the Internet. Acroterion (talk) 13:27, 28 July 2018 (UTC)
