Your editing to date

Hello, I'm Hipal. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! --Hipal (talk) 23:27, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

I’m not very good at this but I have provided sources from the New York Times, LA Times, Forbes magazine, good morning America etc. just as I did when I submitted all of his three well-known wives(two of them exes) months ago on the Dean Ornish page. Please let me know which one of those isn’t allowed as a source. Thank you. https://www.goodmorningamerica.com/amp/wellness/story/lifestyle-undo-damage-body-book-60214812 — Preceding unsigned comment added by FriendswLarrySanger (talk • contribs) 21:12, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for looking for good references, which are strictly required for biographical information. It's helpfulcheck WP:RSP and WP:RSN to see if others have discussed a source that you are considering. --Hipal (talk) 22:10, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living (or recently deceased) persons. Thank you. You need to add references to reliable sources when you add content to biographies of living people. Please read Referencing for beginners. Cullen328 (talk) 00:43, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

If you were speaking about Dean Ornish I have listed major sources such as the New York Times for all four of his wives. FriendswLarrySanger (talk) 19:28, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
