[edit] Your edits to Ronald Reagan

Welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. As a member of the Wikipedia community, I would like to remind you of Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy for editors, which you appear to have violated at Ronald Reagan. In the meantime, please be bold and continue contributing to Wikipedia. Accurizer 13:49, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ronald Reagan

Hi. Like the above writer stated, you violated Wikipedia's nuetral piont of view policy in Ronald Reagan's article. You cited no sources for your "claims" in all of your edits. From what I saw, you are not a fan of Ronald Reagan, and that's okay, but may I remind you that Ronald Reagan's article is a Featured Article Candiadte? I'm sure none of us want to screw that up....

[edit] Tet Offensive

As noted by two other editors above, Wikipedia has rules about the way articles are edited. Statements like "The inability to predict the Tet Offensive constituted the largest U.S. intelligence failure since Pearl Harbor." are opinions. If you want to include such an opinion, you need to find what is known in the Wikipedia community as a "reliable source" who has written such an opinion. Then you can add it to the article in the form of "According to historian John Doe, The inability to predict the Tet Offensive... etc." If you don't do things this way, your edits will simply be removed as quickly as you add them, and you're wasting your time. Furthermore, if you continue to ignore warnings like this one, you are likely to be blocked from editing. Another problem with your Tet Offensive edits is that you repeat yourself several times over. This isn't against any firm rule of Wikipedia, but it's bad writing. KarlBunker 05:01, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
