Ann Dunham education

Hello - the Wikipedia standard for inclusion is that sources be reliable and verifiable -"The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth—that is, whether readers are able to check that material added to Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source, not whether we think it is true." We have to use reliable sources that can be verified by others as saying what is quoted in our articles; the third party published source we have as a citation has different information than what you posted, so I think we have to go with it for now unless other sources are uncovered. The alternative is to remove this detail until we find other sources - it's not really crucial to her biography. Tvoz/talk 08:04, 26 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Dear Bdd -- I've moved your discussion of this matter from my talk page to the Ann Dunham talk page. I didn't respond to your private email to (a) protect my privacy and (b) because this is a matter for public discussion. FWIW, I agree with Tvoz's comment above. Thanks for your interest.
