Re: adding new material

I'm glad you are trying to update material in your areas of interest, but since this is a contentious area and under Arbitration, you do have to be careful to a) not revert more than one edit by another editor (except edits in a row) in a 24 hour period; b) look for most high quality sources. A news source is always best. If you can't find that, but you find on an organization's website it has supported a boycott, you can use the information (though some will challenge even that). You can NOT use the information from an advocacy group that is listing which groups did what; c) watch your temper since some editors will look for excuses to revert even the best sourced info and editors easily can be blocked in this area for a day or two for seemingly minor comments. d) look for help through the various resources of WP:Dispute resolution. And read the policies. Editors with years of experience can run circles around new editors. Good luck!! Carolmooredc (Talkie-Talkie) 14:57, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
