User:I'll bring the food/originalresearchwarningtext
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is the original research warning text. If you wish to warn a user they are vandalising an article by adding originally researched details such as listening to a piece of music and working out the notes and range of a singer and publishing it, please use this text after first warning them using test-n4. --I'll bring the food 14:04, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
Hello, {{PAGENAME}}.
When one of our editors (in this case, you) listens to a musical piece with an analytical, trained ear, and determines what one or more musical notes in it is; one is ''originally analysing'' a piece. Original research can take a number of forms, depending on the discipline it pertains to ...it typically ... involves direct ... observation of the researched subject, e.g. ...in the field. Original analysis ''is'' original research.
The problem is, Wikipedia is [[WP:OR|not]] the place for original research, this is an official policy. Citing sources and avoiding original research are inextricably linked: the only way to demonstrate that you are not doing original research is to cite reliable sources which provide information that is directly related to the topic of the article, and to adhere to what those sources say. The source must be from a reliable journal, publication or website. Please note, Blogs do not count to this end. [[Wikipedia:No original research]] is one of "three content-governing policies" on Wikipedia. They are 'rules', or 'laws' on what you can and cannot put in an article. The other two are [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view]] and [[Wikipedia:Verifiability]].
You have broken (perhaps accidentally) one or more of these policies. If you choose to continue adding such content or placing such content back in to Wikipedia when it has been taken out of that particular article; it would most probably be considered bad faith editing on your part. Bad faith editing is an act for which it is quite possible to be banned for, especially if you add bad faith edits after being warned for it 3 times - some users consider it very similar to, or even identical to vandalism.
Sincerely,
