September 2008 edit

  Please do not add content without citing reliable sources, as you did to Breyer State University. Before making potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Contact me if you need assistance adding references. Thank you.

  Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of previously published material to our articles as you apparently did to Breyer State University. Please cite a reliable source for all of your information. One person's analysis of whether Breyer fits some online definition of "diploma mill" is not reliably sourced information suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, but rather is considered to be original research. --Orlady (talk) 21:03, 12 September 2008 (UTC)Reply


Hi again, Kannan38, the purpose of user talk page is for communication here on Wikipedia. So, the message that you left me was done properly.

Please read the links there to Wikipedia policy for more detailed information. TallMagic (talk) 07:03, 13 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hi TallMagic. Thank you for your comments and help. I thought I gave reliable information by providing proper URL. You see, I firmly believe that Breyer's is NOT a diploma mill as defined by several sources. They do follow processes of an on-line education sources. Could you help me how I could interject this into the wikipedia? Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kannan38 (talkcontribs) 12:37, 14 September 2008

I suggest that the best place to start is the links above in the welcome message added above. One of the things that the above links will lead to is the article on wp:dispute resolution. I believe it says that one of the first steps to dispute resolution is to post on the talk page when there's dispute. The vast majority of edit disputes are resolved that way. To get to that page, go to the article and click the discussion tab near the top of the page. Add your comment at the bottom of the page and don't forget to sign your comment.
