[edit] Comment to anon

  • Basic information from personal experience is not a good basis for an article. Please read WP:V. Information in an article needs to be verifiable from reliable sources... anything that cannot be sourced should be removed.--Isotope23 12:37, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

I agree that verification is important. But when it comes to matters that are less "objective" (ie. not numbers, years, names), a source could plainly be someone else's opinion or advise. That would thus just be lip-service to the sourcing code. 65.210.107.101 04:30, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

  • Regardless, It still needs to be verified in a published source. Someone's opinion or advise that has not been published elsewhere in a reliable source is not appropriate information for a Wikipedia article. This is an encyclopedia, not an advise column.--Isotope23 14:49, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
