November 2020

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to List of CIA controversies, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. - wolf 14:28, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to List of FBI controversies. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. - wolf 14:29, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

FYI

Hello, taking a look at your initial edits and your user page, I'm not sure what your intentions here are or if your clear on what this project is about. I would strongly encourage you to read WP:What Wikipedia is not. It is one of our policies and compliance is not optional if you wish to contribute. - wolf 14:38, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
