Graham Hill
I do not understand your censorship of my firsthand account of Hill’s 1968 crash. What are you thinking? That I’m lying? That no one would be interested? What is your thought process? Geodude7639 (talk) 23:46, 5 July 2026 (UTC)
- I am not the person addressed, hence do not know the circumstances, but I noticed this. It appears to be a matter for Wikipedia and not for this here Website which is Wikimedia Commons, a media repository. It also appears to be a matter of English Wikipedia's policies of Reliable Source (EN:WP:RS) and No Original Research (EN:WP:NOR). The first requires that information must come from a published source that has a process for checking, such as a newspaper or certain kinds of book. The second means that if I see an incident, my firsthand account of what happened is not usable as a source for a Wikipedia article.
- It doesn't mean anyone is thought to be lying; it means that we editors don't have a source that meets the standards. Wikipedia cannot cover everything. For this reason and others, we miss some things that can be posted in other websites. I, for example, sometimes use Quora for firsthand accounts of my experiences with Wikipedia and life, and other matters that are not eligible for inclusion in Wikipedia. There are many websites for many purposes; Wikimedia Commons and the hundreds of Wikipedias are very big, but they are not the world. Jim.henderson (talk) 07:51, 13 July 2026 (UTC)
