Regarding the removal of my edits, I thought the policy on citations was for "quotations and material challenged or likely to be challenged must be attributed, through an inline citation that directly supports the material" Kcorless (talk) 20:21, 14 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Well, your information was unsourced, and the link at the end of the paragraph didn't say any of that. All in all, it could be assumed that the info you added was false, and was therefore deleted. If you want to keep the info, please add a source. --Bialytock&Bloom (talk) 20:32, 14 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
Right - but my understanding is that wikipedia does NOT require all information to be source - only quotations and material likely to be challenged. It seems that such non-controversial material should remain until there is a complaint or alternate view - then, I agree, that it should be removed until a source can be provided. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kcorless (talkcontribs) 14:42, 17 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
That is true: but the info you added was not sourced anywhere in the article; information like "early life" or "personal life" NEEDS to be sourced. Once again, it could be assumed that the info you added was false.--Bialytock&Bloom (talk) 23:17, 17 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
I'm not trying to be difficult, but can you point to where I can learn more about what information needs to be sourced? The only thing I could find in the docs was the information in the Verifiability article - "In practice you do not need to attribute everything; only quotations and material challenged or likely to be challenged must be attributed."67.175.18.234 (talk) 11:58, 26 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
