Hello, I'm Donner60. I noticed that you made an edit to a biography of a living person, Zacharias Fomum, but that you didn’t support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Donner60 (talk) 21:36, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

Professor Fomum died in March 2009!

Hello, Professor Fomum died in March 2009. The content i added are from one of his books, which clearly cited at the end of the section. I would be adding more of his story, taken directly from his writings

I have deleted the above message in the manner prescribed by the guidelines. You were not only in good faith, but the rationale is not right. However, the additions are not necessarily proper. First, are his writings copyrighted? I suspect they are. Unless you have permission from the copyright holder, you can not quote such lengthy passages. Also, lengthy quotations from a person's work are not proper in their biographies. The biography tells about their life. A person's philosophy or writing can be explained, but this should be done in your own words and not at great length. The existing article may adequately express this. See Wikipedia:Do not include the full text of lengthy primary sources and Wikipedia:Non-free content. Also, too lengthy a discussion could slip over into advocacy or promotion which is not permitted. See Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not in general and Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not a soapbox or means of promotion in particular. Donner60 (talk) 01:40, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

You can open a thread for discussion with users who are experience with writing biography articles at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Biography if you are not satisfied after reading the above links. Note that the pages says put the discussion on the article talk page first. In my experience, that does not always attract much attention or comment so you may ultimately have to go to the project talk page if you wish to pursue it.
