Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Criticism of Facebook, please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit. This is particularly important when adding or changing any facts or figures and helps maintain our policy of verifiability. Take a look at Wikipedia:Citing sources for information about how to cite sources and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Please see WP:OR and WP:RS as well as WP:WELCOME for information explaining why your recent edits have once again been reverted. In short they are original research, which is not done around here. raseaC^{talk to me} 21:04, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi, first if you click on the acronyms I used on your talk page it should take you to guidelines I think will help you in understanding where you went wrong, if you read those guidelines you should understand. First, you need relaible sources for anything you put in WP, your addition lacks that (bar a few that corroborate the most mundane of facts). many, many users and conscientious professionals feel that if Facebook's actions are not fully disclosed to a user needs a source, Facebook could allegedly be in violation of Truth in Advertising Laws, as well as in violation of Privacy Laws and certain other Constitutional rights of the individual needs a source, Many people feel Facebook should be more professional by ensuring the fully cognizant, Individual user's consent to the full extent... needs a source etc. etc. Secondly, you are being to vague 'some may think', 'many people', we need to know who it is thinking and saying these things. Thirdly, I think there is a lot of personal opinion; i.e. ' Given the fact that 64% of the US population over 18 has only a High School education, 67.5% if one includes an Occupational Associate's Degree, with no advanced Marketing or Business courses, one can hardly expect this majority to automatically and fully understand that any information given to Facebook may be used wherever or sold to whomever Facebook chooses, even indiscriminately. '. Fourthly, bold text should generally not be used in articles in the way in which you have, ditto exclamation marks. Finally you could arguably have a conflict of interets (see WP:COI) given that you have stated that you are editing on behalf of what sounds like some unhappy Facebook users.

I was going to leave your contributions in place to give you a chance to read this, but they are screwing up the formatting of the page and so I have once again removed them. Please do not reinstate them. Instead, if you disagree with anything I have said or think there are other major contributions that should be made to the page please first start a thread on the articles talk page.
