  Hello, I'm Ponyo. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living person on David Easter, but that 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. Thank you. --Jezebel'sPonyobons mots 20:59, 22 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add or change content, as you did at Frank Lampard, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Mattythewhite (talk) 16:14, 6 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to David Easter. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Bbb23 (talk) 16:21, 6 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

Hello, Jgunnsm2, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits to the page David Easter has not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and has been or will be removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. Additionally, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Hey Ponyo I personally knew David Easter so I dont need to cite a source when I was there! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jgunnsm2 (talkcontribs) 16:13, 6 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

@Jgunnsm2: Actually you do still have to provide a source, especially if reverted or challenged about an edit (which has happened 3 times now), and especially if it is a biography of a living person (WP:BLP). 'Personal knowledge' is not a reliable source (WP:RS). If you have a source for him having lived in Claygate, fine, but being "a model neighbour knocking on doors to let them know they had left their car headlights on." is what we call unencyclopaedic information. 220 of Borg 03:45, 7 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
