Information icon Welcome to Misplaced Pages. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to United States Army Special Forces, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Misplaced Pages'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. SWATJester 17:05, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

Information icon Please do not add or change content, as you did at United States Army Special Forces, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Misplaced Pages:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. SWATJester 17:06, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

Stop icon You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced or poorly sourced material to Misplaced Pages, as you did at United States Army Special Forces. SWATJester 17:16, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Final warning

It's clear that you are not familiar with our policy on reliable sourcing -- your edits have so far consisted of unsourced claims, removal of sourced content, or claims with a reference that does not support your edits. This is disruptive, and you've been adequately warned multiple times, yet continue to edit war to push your edits against our required policies. So this is a final warning: The next time you add original research, or remove or misrepresent a source as you did on United States invasion of Afghanistan, you will be immediately blocked from further editing. Knock it off. SWATJester 18:07, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

This is a weird hill to die on, especially because if you read you will see there is no way that Tyson and Olson are two different people. The two operators involved were John "Mike" Spann and David Tyson not Olson... Perhaps Stanton was writing when Tyson was still an operative with CIA and needed to use a pseudonym, but the other operator involved is definitely David Tyson.
Please look at the wikipedia entry for John "Mike" Spann for even further proof. And please consider unblocking as it is very unwarranted given all of my edits have been factually correct. https://en.wikipedia.org/Johnny_Micheal_Spann 8.4.24.34 (talk) 18:28, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
Then the correct response would have been to find a reliable source that says Tyson is Olson (and they have to say this directly, not as something that is constructed or "common sense"), not to edit war to remove what reliable sources (Stanton) explicitly say was Olson. Pointing to other wikipedia entries is irrelevant -- other Misplaced Pages articles are not allowed as sources in the first place. Whether you think you're factually correct or not is also irrelevant -- Misplaced Pages has to rely on what our reliable sources say, not what individual editors think they know. Use this time while blocked to familiarize yourself with our verifiability and sourcing standards as you will be expected to abide by them when it expires. SWATJester 18:35, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
