American Idiot

Please do not continue to add the interpretation of the American Idiot story to the article. As none of this has been confirmed by the band, then it is entirely WP:Original Research. This type of material does not belong in an encyclopedia, there are plenty of other sites that discuss this sort of material. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and as such, the only material that can be included should be accurate and verifiable. This means that reliable, third-party sources must be included. For an idea of what would be counted as reliable, see WP:RS. If a book is published by a reputable source that discusses the American Idiot story, then you can add the material in and use this as a source. Without a source, it cannot be included. I hope this explains the situation, and questions please ask. Nouse4aname (talk) 09:56, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
