Welcome!
editHello, Lenbracken, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits to the page Wayne Madsen have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may be removed if they have not yet been. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. As well, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

editHi, You removed material that had been discussed and debated and ultimately agreed upon over the course of months by many editors. It was extremely well referenced with reliable sources. Your edits were against that consensus and it is never a good idea to delete RS refs. Perhaps you could take some time to read the welcome links and learn the policies and practices of wikipedia. I believe you will find editing very rewarding. Capitalismojo (talk) 02:30, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
From your announcement on my talk page and previously here at wikipedia of your real life identity, you are clearly friends with Wayne Madsen. You wrote the introduction of his book. He plugs your books on his site. You have written columns and guest editorials on his site. You have written blurbs for his books. He appeared in your film. This is considered a conflict of interest here. It is not against policy to edit if you have a conflict, but it is an issue and considered problematic. Please view WP:COI for guidance. That said, given your personal knowledge, I will change Madsen's birthdate. Capitalismojo (talk) 03:27, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
A page you started (Clark V. Fox) has been reviewed!
editThanks for creating Clark V. Fox, Lenbracken!
Wikipedia editor SMcCandlish just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:
This subject is likely notable, but people may try to delete the article if it doesn't have more independent, reliable sources that help establish notability. None of the sources appear to be available except on paper; while that's not a "fatal" problem it makes it hard to verify. The interview can be used for WP:ABOUTSELF material, but cannot help establish notability. The exhibition is a fact that belongs in the article; an event is not a source, so it does not belong in a reference citation. If the Houston Chronicle article is available online, linking it would be a good idea. What is the material in Washington Art Matters? Does it just mention him in passing, or presented in-depth material about him? Anyway, adding more sources, by reputable publishers, with links, will be proof against deletion.
