Suspected
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article April 2010 Baghdad bombings, please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit. This is particularly important when adding or changing any facts or figures and helps maintain our policy of verifiability. Take a look at Wikipedia:Citing sources for information about how to cite sources and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.--Vimbo Gales (talk) 20:21, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
- Considering that I didn't add any content, but rather removed your uncited content (ie, the claim that the CIA carried out the bombings]]), I don't know what you're complaining about. //Programming gecko (talk) 20:23, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
Its nothing personal, don't take it that way! --Vimbo Gales (talk) 20:27, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
Please do not add or change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did to April 2010 Baghdad bombings. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. --Vimbo Gales (talk) 20:27, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
- Please stop leaving warnings on my page telling me not to add uncited content. I have not added any uncited content; I am removing uncited content. //Programming gecko (talk) 20:28, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
- Contrary to your claim that "almost everything in the article is uncited", it is easy to see that the article is quite well referenced. As to "it is only suspected", that makes no difference. Find a reliable source that says that the Al-Qaeda in Iraq is "suspected" of carrying out the bombing and cite your addition.
- It is quite easy to look in the article and see that those citations are already there. References #1 and 6 appear to cover that. //Programming gecko (talk) 20:32, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
