John Quinlan
editAs you've noted, I made some changes to the John Quinlan article today. Please understand that my edits are within Wikipedia's policy and are not a transgression of my own philosophy (did you read the disclaimer about biography articles?). It is important that you realise that I am working to improve the quality of the article, and would like to have your assistance in that goal. Before we can work together, it is essential that you read Reliable Sources and Biographies of Living Persons because the article must adhere to those important policy statements. I have reduced the article to a more consistent state (with the sources), but that doesn't mean that the article can't be expanded again. Personal testimony from tattoo artists cannot be used as verifiable sources, however if you include sources that are considered to be reliable (e.g. links to established news agency articles), I would be more than happy to help you format them for the article. I look forward to working with you to enhance this article. Cheers. GFHandel ♬ 20:34, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
