Welcome edit
Hello, Peer678, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and have been reverted. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.
There is a page about the verifiability policy that explains the policy in greater detail, and another that offers tips on the proper ways of citing sources. If you are stuck and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- Tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

The article Project MKULTRA could be said to be many things but I would say it isn't tidy enough. The problem with articles about covert operations by government is that some aspects of them will always be difficult to source without using information from Conspiracy Theory sites. Those sites are often full of imagined or unnamed sources and couldn't be taken seriously by Wikipedia.
Wikipedia despite it's own flaws is an attempt at a user led encyclopaedia. Its focus is about using the best of the information out there using a policy of verifiability and ensuring that statements of proof can easily examined by anybody reading an article.
The information you posted is not all that controversial, it is already discussed on Wikipedia in the article Cathy O'Brien, who claimed to be part of the project you described. Perhaps if you read how that article is it will give you an idea of the best way to structure your own ideas for a paragraph in Project MKULTRA and help you find further reading in a way to source them.
You are certainly not blocked and relevant, truthful and sourced information is the whole goal of Wikipedia. If Wikipedia were controlled by government agents as you suggest, I would doubt that we would have many editors prepared to give up their time only to see their labours vanish in the click of a mouse button. Good luck with your editing, -- EhsanQ (talk) 03:38, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
