Edit warring at Brandon, Vermont

Hello Bvt-05733. You've been reported for edit warring at this link. Since you are citing some information to a self-published web site http://www.brandonvt.org you may be in violation of our WP:Reliable source policies. You may respond to the complaint if you wish. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 22:25, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

Please remove this change which you made at Brandon, Vermont. The web page you use as a citation, http://www.brandonvt.org, appears to be self-published and does not qualify as a WP:Reliable source by Wikipedia standards. The site does not list anyone's name as the publisher so we do not know if anyone is taking responsibility for the correctness of the information. The statement "fragmented opaque solutions to resisted problems resulted" besides being ungrammatical, looks like a personal editorial opinion by an unknown person. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 16:30, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

• Web sites not published by the government can be used if they are of the type that Wikipedia trusts as a reliable source of facts. The site at http://brandonvt.org, published by an unknown person with no track record, doesn't fall in the reliable category. Anyone can put up a website and pretend to be an authority.
