April 2015

Hello, I'm JoeSperrazza. I noticed that you made a change to an article, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. This edit [1] is unsourced.

Please don't edit war to re-add it, as you did here [2], without a reliable source as a citation. JoeSperrazza (talk) 21:42, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

This is your only warning; if you violate Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy by inserting unsourced or poorly sourced defamatory content into an article or any other Wikipedia page again, as you did at Craig D. Button, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. This edit [3] is both unsourced and highly inappropriate. JoeSperrazza (talk) 21:42, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

Please see Talk:Craig_D._Button#Unsourced_and_defamatory_content and discuss your changes there. Thanks, JoeSperrazza (talk) 21:47, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

Response to your email

I received your email. Discussions regarding ANYTHING Wikipedia related, but particularly regarding articles, should be had on-wiki and not in email. I am going to post your email below, redacting your personal identifying information, and then respond:

Re: Wikipedia entry.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_D._Button#Air_Force_career

I met Craig Button. There're are four incidences of this. The first was when he was an A-10 Pilot. The second was when he purchased a motor vehicle, in 1986. The last two meetings were more of a passing through a location. The last two will no doubt throw a wrench into the historical record and lay a counter claim on the psychological autopsy performed.

Please explain your reasoning for the open source discussion. I can certainly back up my claims. My expertise is in the area of identification. R.S.V.P.

The sender has not been given the recipient's email address, nor any information about his/her email account; and the recipient has no obligation to reply to this email or take any other action that might disclose his/her identity. If you respond, the sender will know your email address. For further information on privacy, security, and replying, as well as abuse and removal from emailing, see <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Email>.<

In response - your edits to the article are based on your assertion that you met Craig Button. This information is not based on a reliable secondary source, such as an established newspaper, or even a primary source, such as a court transcript (read WP:RS and WP:PRIMARY). Rather, they are based on your own observations, which is not allowed - this is referred to as original research (read WP:OR). You can argue about this until you are blue in the face, but your own observations will never be accepted in a Wikipedia article, let alone a biography, even of a relatively recently deceased person (read WP:BLP).

So, assuming good faith (see WP:AGF), given you firmly believe what you've written, go meet with a journalist. Provide objective evidence of when you met with Craig Button (dates, times, proof you were there) and proof of your other assertions (e.g., the purchased of a Dodge Ram 50, which you state is germaine). Don't provide them to me, or to Wikipedia. Respectfully, it won't change anything we do, by firm and unyielding policy of Wikipedia. By contrast, I'm sure either the Denver Post or the Washington Post would be thrilled to meet with you. If they come to the same conclusions as you do, they'll write about it - what a story. Then you can reference the story (see WP:CITE) in additions to the article. See you back here in a few months!

Finally, please respond, should you choose to, here, and not on my talk page nor by email. As I said, however, there's nothing to be done to allow unsourced, original reearch into any Wikipedia articles. Good luck!

P.S. I just read your note on my talk page. I've closed it and redirected further comments to this discussion. The answer I provided remains the same as what I noted, above. For your reference, should you choose to contact the Washington Post, see Help Desk - HOW TO CONTACT THE NEWSROOM. Best of luck, JoeSperrazza (talk) 22:36, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

WP:RENAME read the instructions, and follow the directions. They will give you specific instructions to prove this is your account. — Maile (talk) 00:53, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
