Hi, and thank you for your additions to the article on Kazi Lhendup Dorjee. Unfortunately, personal recollections are not considered appropriate for inclusion in Wikipedia. We have a few policies about how to determine what belongs in articles, some of which are mentioned above. The most important regarding this article is Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. This policy requires that all information included in articles be verified in reliable, secondary sources, like newspapers, magazines, academic journals, etc. If you know of reliable sources that support the claims you made, feel free to add them. If you're not sure how to cite sources, you can post the information on the article's talk page, and we can help you format that. If you have any questions, feel free to ask here or on my talk page.

Whitehound, please have a read through the above message and ask me if you have questions. Continuing to add unsourced information to pages is considered a form of disruptive editing, and should not be continued. I understand that this article's subject is important to you, as your family, but please understand that, as an encyclopedia, we have to have our information verified in reliable sources.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. Take a look at Wikipedia:Citing sources for information about how to cite sources and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.   — Jeff G.  ツ 02:08, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Whitehound, I don't know if you're reading this, but I really want you to talk about this issue. Unfortunately, because at the moment you don't seem to be hearing what we're saying, if you add the material again, I am regretfully going to have to report your for edit-warring. We have a rule called 3RR, which means the same editor can't add or remove the same information more than 3 times per day--doing so will result in your account being temporarily blocked from editing. I honestly believe you're trying to add this information in good faith, but you have to recognize that we have rules for doing so. Please talk about this rather than just trying to keep re-adding the same, unsourced information. Qwyrxian (talk) 02:12, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Please do not add content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did with this edit to Kazi Lhendup Dorjee. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article.   — Jeff G.  ツ 02:20, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If the edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.

Hello Whitehound. You've been reported for edit warring at WP:AN3#User:Whitehound reported by User:Qwyrxian (Result: ).

Apologies; I meant to notify you above, but used the wrong template. I was not trying to hide the fact that I reported you for edit-warring. Again, my apologies, I really want to talk this out rather than go through administrative procedures. Please talk to us so that we can resolve this amicably. Qwyrxian (talk) 04:15, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Whitehound, please see the result of the complaint here: WP:AN3#User:Whitehound reported by User:Qwyrxian (Result: Warned). We assume you have got the message and will not continue to revert the article. If you do so, you may be blocked from editing. EdJohnston (talk) 18:57, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Personal observations

Whitehound. Thank you for your observations. I have entered them on the article's talk page, as I believe they may be a useful contribution to the history of the subject. However as they are not yet supported by independent sources they can not be included in the article itself. Anything you can add in support would be much appreciated.

Please sign your comments so we know it is you commenting

Hello Whitehound. Please see this advice about how to sign your comments on talk pages:

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you must sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you.

Following this practice makes it easier to have a conversation. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 16:35, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
