Hello, I'm Jim1138. I noticed that you made an edit to a biography of a living person, Brian Nieves, but 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. Jim1138 (talk) 10:59, 25 December 2017 (UTC)
