Revision as of 11:41, 21 May 2007
Unsourced material
Please do not add content without citing reliable sources. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.
I'm genuinely reluctant to give you another warning, but you've deleted my previous comments here and you continue to insert controversial statements into articles without adequately referencing them.
When you cite a reference, you must ensure that your source actually states what you claim it states. You have added several controversial claims to The International Criminal Court and the 2003 invasion of Iraq, but the sources you cite do not explicitly support your claims. For example, neither Grossman nor the UN Charter states that “The United Nations however has jurisdiction over all citizens of all of the UN member nations, so there are no nation's citizens who are exempt from international law” or that “The key jurisdictional issue that would prevent the ICC from exercising jurisdiction over aggression is that the ICC Statute gives the ICC the authority to define and punish the crime of “aggression,” which is solely the prerogative of the Security Council of the United Nations under the U.N. Charter”.
You keep adding an outdated link to Grossman's speech. It's clear you haven't even read the speech, so it is inappropriate for you to use it as a source.
Please remove your claims or find a reliable source that explicitly supports them. Sideshow Bob Roberts 14:59, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
Please stop. Continuing to add unsourced or original content is considered vandalism and may result in a block.
Yesterday I drew your attention to specific violations of Misplaced Pages's verifiability policy which you had made at The International Criminal Court and the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Instead of reverting your edits, I gave you the opportunity to add references. You have not done this, and some of the offending material remains in the article. To make matters worse, immediately after reading my warning you added more controversial material to the same article without a reference.
Your claim that all war crimes that were committed during the invasion of Iraq “were properly investigated and prosecuted by national governments” is controversial and must be attributed to a reliable source.
You also continue to add unsourced claims to other articles (such as your claims that “Legally the decision by the United Nations Security Council to not act in regard to the 2003 invasion authoritatively settles the issue of legality” (here) and that “The ICC lacks any effective means to prosecute itself” (here)).
By making unsubstantiated claims like this you damage Misplaced Pages's reputation as a reliable source and waste other editors' time. I don't have time to follow you around and add sources for all your claims so I'm simply reverting all your additions to The International Criminal Court and the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the International Criminal Court and Legitimacy of the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Do not restore any of this material without ensuring that it is directly attributable to a reliable source.
Note that I'm not disputing the accuracy of any of these claims, it's just that you cannot say these things on Misplaced Pages without attributing them to a reliable source. Also note that when you add material to Misplaced Pages, it is your responsibility to ensure that you source it correctly, not the responsibility of other editors to demonstrate that your claims are incorrect.
Please take the time to read Misplaced Pages:Verifiability, Misplaced Pages:No original research and Misplaced Pages:Reliable sources carefully and ensure you understand them before making any more edits. If you continue to damage articles by adding unsourced material, your edits will be reverted and you may be blocked indefinitely from editing Misplaced Pages.
