Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. A contribution you made to Atefah Sahaaleh appears to carry a non-neutral point of view, and your edit may have been changed or reverted to correct the problem. Please remember to observe our core policies. Thank you. SparsityProblem 00:12, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Edits to Atefah Sahaaleh

I have reverted your edits again for the following reasons:

• Deleting text that has sources (e.g., in the first paragraph), with no explanation
• "The execution is controversial because of judical [sic] error" -- the claim that the woman was actually 22 is unsourced
• You reverted corrections of spelling errors. Please be more careful.
• "...who everyone knew, and was often seen wondering free on streets. She was called "gypsy of Neka" by the locals, as she was not restrained in her behaviour, having no parental guidance" -- unsourced claims
• changing "raped" to "have sex with": "...have sex with a 51-year-old ex-revolutionary guard"
• "She even removed her shoes and hit the judge with them" -- unsourced claim
• "...her birth certificate and death certificate stated that she was 16. The issue of her age was not brouht to proper attention before it was too late. Apparently, the judge arbitrarily put the incorrect age which he estimated based on Atefeh's appearance" -- unsourced claims

If you'd like to edit the article again in a way that addresses these issues, feel free, but if you insist on reverting the article again without changing your edits to conform to WP:NPOV, I remind you that action can be taken against your Wikipedia account under WP:3RR.

Then you need to provide in-text citations for each of these claims, rather than citing a single source at the end of the article. As well, a movie or video is not an acceptable reliable source, as it would be difficult for somebody else to examine the source to verify that it contains what another editor claims it contains. Please review the guidelines for reliable sources. SparsityProblem 00:35, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

As I said, a video is not an acceptable source. This is not my argument, but rather is a policy available at WP:CITE for anyone to read; I recommend reading it. SparsityProblem 00:41, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Examples#Are IRC, MySpace, and YouTube reliable_sources? specifically says that YouTube is not an acceptable source, as anyone can manipulate content that is added to YouTube, even if the original documentary may have been an acceptable source. (I still don't believe that a video can be an acceptable source, as it's almost impossible for anyone to use it to verify a claim, but I haven't yet found a policy that says so.)

Regarding your edits to Atefah Sahaaleh:

Your recent edit to Atefah Sahaaleh (diff) was reverted by an automated bot. You have been identified as a new user or a logged out editor using a hosting or shared IP address to add email addresses, phone numbers, YouTube, Geocities, Myspace, Facebook, blog, forum, or other such free-hosting website links to a non-talk page. Please note that such links are generally to be avoided. You can restore any other content by editing the page and re-adding that content. The links can be reviewed and restored by established users. Thank you for contributing! // VoABot II 00:59, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Re-adding the link to YouTube won't help; the bot will just revert it again. If you add a link to a reliable source, you won't be reverted. SparsityProblem 01:13, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi there.
