Hi, I noticed your edits on Relativity priority dispute. I want to point out the literature does not support your charge against Whittaker and if you wish to include him in the general relativity dispute section, you need to provide reliable references to notable academics who dispute his claim (these references are non-existent as far as I know). Everyone praises Whittaker for all his books, save the one contentious chapter of the second edition on Lorentz and Poincare. In fact, Whittaker had original contributions to the theory of relativity itself and was an expert on it. So please, provide references for claims. Providing a reference for Whittaker's statement alone DOES NOT justify his inclusion in the dispute for general relativity. That constitutes the opinion of an editor, which is not notable by Wikipedia standards. Thank you.Footlessmouse (talk) 03:50, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Relativity priority dispute, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Original research is prohibited. You must provide a reliable reference that discusses Whittaker's role in the general relativity priority dispute Footlessmouse (talk) 04:58, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
