Hi. Please be specific about what you found unconstructive in my edit. The original states matter of factly that the hacked messages "show" something. but they only purport to show something and The Intercept has not allowed anyone else to view the alleged messages. My edit corrected for this unfair characterization of what are until now only supposed events and statements. They are mere accusations, not proven facts. Thank you in advance for substantiating your reasons for reverting my edit.Ceteris Paribus 1 (talk) 19:12, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
Welcome! edit
Hello, Ceteris Paribus 1, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one of your contributions does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.
There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Questions page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. Below are a few other good links for newcomers:
