Welcome!

Hello, Lademoen, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, your edit to 2 May 2014 Odessa clashes 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 New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{Help me}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Hello, RGloucester. Thank you for a nice message. What I don't understand here is why Russia Today is considered a non-reliable source, while Kiyv Post, TSN, UNIAN are considered reliable. Whose decision is that? --Lademoen (talk) 19:33, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

It depends on whether what they say is verifiable in mainstream reliable sources. If mainstream reliable sources contradict them, they are no good. We can't give undue weight to minority viewpoints, as that would create a false balance. RGloucester — ☎ 19:36, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

What do you mean by "contradict"? Do mainstream sources state there was no one shooting from pro-Ukrainian side? I guess, they don't. They just didn't mention this fact in their reports. Is it a sufficiently good reason to hide that fact from Wikipedia readers too? I assume you personally don't question the fact that the video of a shooting man is real and that this person Mykola did indeed shoot at the Trade Union building, right? --Lademoen (talk) 20:00, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

It doesn't matter what I do or don't think. It matters what is verifiable. It is already mentioned that there were some people with guns on the Ukrainian side, as reliable sources state. Anything about this "Mykola" is irrelevant soapboxing. RGloucester — ☎ 20:06, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

Gunfire near the Trade Union building was from both sides. So far the page says about fire from one side only. Adding info about fire from the other side is not soapboxing, it is restoring the true balance. --Lademoen (talk) 21:27, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

It isn't a "true balance" if it isn't reliable sources. RGloucester — ☎ 21:33, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
