Death place edit

Bnsbandit do you have an authority for the edit that Eddie died in Melbourne, as cycling archives lists it as Adelaide? Find bruce (talk) 08:22, 19 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

Good spot - I've changed it back, per the source and the WP:BURDEN is with the other editor to source their change. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 08:27, 19 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

Bnsbandit you must be very proud of your grandfather, I know I would be. Your contributions to Wikipedia are welcome, but all editors must follow wikipedia's conflict of interest (COI) and neutral point of view policies. These are set out in the plain and simple conflict of interest guide. The suggested approach is not to edit articles about yourself, your family etc and instead to post suggestions and sources on the article's talk page. The value of wikipedia is in being accurate and with reliable sources. This is why I asked for a reliable source for the location - it doesn't need to be anything huge, typically identifying the paper, date and page that the funeral or death notice was in. There is little info about Eddie currently & I would be happy to help improve the article if we can identify reliable sources. Find bruce (talk)
