There is an unsubstantiated negative claim on the biographical page for Marek Pienkowski, a living person. The claim relates to his biographical memoir Iron or Steel: A Memoir on Living Dreams. The unsubstantiated claim is (Redacted) This should be removed.

Hi Laurencejbest, I have removed the sentence, as you have challenged it, and as it did not contain an inline citation to a reliable source that directly supports the statement.
Fortunately, this did not require administrative tools, and you are welcome to make such changes yourself when you see a need for them in the future (see WP:BLP).
If this happens repeatedly, do feel free to ask for administrative assistance. If the problem is an edit war, the edit warring noticeboard is a good place to report it. If the edits are clearly malicious*, WP:AIV can be used to quickly deal with the problem. If the issue is more general or someone is disrupting Wikipedia after warnings, WP:ANI can be used to draw maximal attention to the problem.
(*not the case here; see WP:Vandalism for the definition of such malice.)
Before reporting an editor at the noticeboards, however, please attempt to resolve the issue by discussion. In clear cases or when the text is about living people, you can remove it and warn the user (Wikipedia:Template_messages/User_talk_namespace/Multi-level_templates#Unsourced); in less clear cases, you can start a discussion by clicking "Talk" above any article and creating a "New section" there. You can then invite the other editor(s) to the discussion. If that does not help, see Wikipedia:Responding to a failure to discuss, a wonderful essay in my opinion.
Best regards
