Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Temporal paradox, 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. Thank you. DVdm (talk) 01:41, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

I wasn't aware that citing a movie as an example constituted original research. In one of the other temporal paradox definitions in the article, a movie was sited as an example. Do you mean that I have to find someone else citing this movie to not be original research, that noting the movie itself is not enough? 70.67.126.147 (talk) 14:58, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

The original research is in your comments and interpretation of the movie. The movie does not mention "information being created from nothing". Phrases such as "This means that" and "therefore constitudes" are typical OR. Other examples of such comments in the article don't warrant adding some more. If you see such long-standing examples in an article, perhaps there is a good reason for their survival, but feel free to go to the article talk page and report them.

And yes, indeed, if some relevant wp:reliable source says that this movie indeed provides an example of the paradox of information being created from nothing, then that could be used as a source, and there would be no OR from your part. Cheers. - DVdm (talk) 15:39, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
