editThanks for your edits - but please bear in mind that an encyclopedia needs to be based on what reliable sources say. You should refer to published sources, if you have them - material which is simply based on personal knowledge is likely to be removed, whether you believe it to be true or not. You can always raise any issues for discussion on the article talk page. Also, please avoid marking edits to an article as minor, when they are not. Ghmyrtle (talk) 10:22, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
- As his civil partner (wife), my information is coming from his personal diary. It has not been published yet, and I am not sure it will ever be. Thankyou for the help and information. I will cite in every place possible. Woodsprite53058 (talk) 11:18, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
- In that case, I'm afraid you're approaching this the wrong way. Please see WP:COI. In future, what you should do is raise your concerns on the article talk page, and not try to make any edits to the article yourself. Other editors will look at your information, and any sources you have, and make the necessary changes. I'm quite sure you are acting in good faith, but we are a collaborative effort and - though we do bend over backwards to ensure that the information published is accurate - we also need to make sure that the information is verifiable. It's quite possible that someone will check through your edits, to make sure that what you say does not conflict with published sources. Ghmyrtle (talk) 11:39, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
