{{helpme}}I want to Edit an article , I can use hundreds of References, however they all state its impossible.(It deals with a math equation).
I have found An equation to get around it and it works. It has never been made public.(I have checked the internet). Can I use my Wiki Name as A source. I would like to see the reaction and then summit an Article on it. Please advice, comments in the past have neg. however they were not math minded.(Pirsquard (talk) 21:06, 1 January 2010 (UTC)).
- No. We have a policy of no original research, which means that nothing which is not referenced and verifiable can be included. Intelligentsium 23:36, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
- However, if you feel you have actually succeeded in doing something other works say is impossible, why not publish it, the use your published work as a source? On a tangent, which equation is this? Intelligentsium 23:39, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
- To further explain- You could not use yourself as a source. WP:SELFPUBLISH does not allow it. (WP:SOURCE says "Articles should be based upon reliable, third-party published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy.") If you were to have it published by someone esle and then put it on wiki, that would be acceptable. --MWOAP (talk) 23:41, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
- And it seems you have not placed this help request on your own talk page, but another user's talk page. Unless you are an alternate account of this user? Intelligentsium 23:44, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
