Information icon Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person, but you didn’t support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! Materialscientist (talk) 09:57, 18 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

Help me! edit

Please help me with...AMENDMENT TO THE ENTRY OF A LIVING PERSON

Michael Young (Businessman) wanted to expand his page and asked me to help him. We worked on a draft and I edited it. I posted it but materialscientist removed it for lack of citation.

It is uncontentious and conforms entirely to Wikipedia guideleines. For this reason (and lack of time, since I'm travelling) there are no in-line citations. Michael wrote it, so it seems to me that this would be unnecessary. He says he would be happy to be contacted to verify the entry.

I explained this to materialscientist but have not had an answer. I would be very grateful if my changes could be reinstated. I'll be travelling again but will check my page this evening.

Many thanks for your help,

Greetings. As it says on the edit screen Encyclopedic content must be verifiable. We can't accept unsourced information, not even by the article subject. Also, you might want to request an edit on the talk page in question; we advise against WP:COI editing too. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 07:20, 19 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
