Wondering how to edit this U.S. County Entry?
The WikiProject U.S. Counties standards might help.

Why does wikipedia want numbers that are extremely unlikely statistically to go unchallenged?

I am talking about the issue with the 1996 Dole votes, and my belief that there was an undercount. I tried adding it twice to this article that there was a likely error. The 1st time, I added it without a source. The 2nd time, I sourced a forum post where this issue was brought up, and most people there agreed that there was likely an error involved. Yet both times were reverted. Honestly, I think its problematic to allow this to happen, so I want to know how we can address the issue. 71.179.173.156 (talk) 15:11, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please read this section of the "What Wikipedia is not" policy. The first paragraph of Wikipedia's verifiability policy also answers your question: "Wikipedia does not publish original research. Its content is determined by previously published information rather than the beliefs or experiences of editors. Even if you're sure something is true, it must be verifiable before you can add it." Internet forums consist of user-generated content, and do not meet Wikipedia's standards for verifiability. --TimK MSI (talk) 15:49, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
