August 2011[edit]

Please stop adding unreferenced controversial biographical content to articles or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at Scott Bourne. Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory and is in violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. There is still nothing in the source that indicates it refers to THIS Scott Bourne--until you can furnish such information, that information doesn't belong there.

Let me say it again--there is nothing in the sourced material that indicates it refers to THIS Scott Bourne. Under our policy on biographies of living people, poorly sourced information about a living person--especially if it's controversial--doesn't belong in that article.

For information like that, it's not enough to provide the docket--you have to provide a link so that it can be verified. The standard here is not truth, but verifiability from a reliable source. Blueboy 96 22:15, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
