Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources, as you did to Bill Pidto. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. BarkeepChat/$ 17:15, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
As I am adding my reliable sources, info is being deleted. I thought that the benchmark is not what someone Such as yourself thinks is true, but rather what can be traced back to a source? PLEASE refrain from deleting info I add without at least giving me the opportunity to cite where I got info from. Thank you.
- I will not refrain from moving unsourced items, particularly if they are contentious or likely to be challenged (as I have done with the information you have added). I sincerely appreciate your efforts, but I rather error on the side of caution and remove unsourced items, particularly when they involve individuals and biographies. I'd recommend that you have your source ready and cited at the time of adding the information to the article as well as reviewing Wikipedia's policy on Biographies of living persons. Thank you.
