Ken Ober birthname

Does the reference you need have to be publicly verifiable or can I privately verify it for you? Once a lazy media has started to reproduce this erroneous data without going to a legitimate source it will be nearly impossible to correct this. I can give you a hundred people to call including Lee Kernis, Ken's agent, who was the source for the Times obituary. I would also suggest that since the Hollywood Reporter is willing to publish something they cannot possibly have verified, perhaps they should be removed from the list of acceptable sources. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Freandc (talkcontribs) 12:12, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but it should be publicly verifiable. I have changed the {{tlp|editsemiprotected}} tag you added to Talk:Ken Ober into {{editsemiprotected}} (without the tlp-part) as when tlp is being put in front of a template, it is usually considered as done and won't alert editors that some edit is requested to be done.  Ilyushka88 Talk to me 19:10, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Some more information in case my previous message causes confusion: Usually reliable webpages and books can be used as a source of information. For more info, please see Wikipedia:Verifiability which says:

The most reliable sources are usually peer-reviewed journals; books published by university presses; university-level textbooks; magazines, journals, and books published by respected publishing houses; and mainstream newspapers. Electronic media may also be used, subject to the same criteria. Academic and peer-reviewed publications are highly valued and usually the most reliable sources in areas where they are available, such as history, medicine, and science. Material from reliable non-academic sources may also be used in these areas, particularly if it appears in respected mainstream publications.

Hi!

Hi again, I didn't get your message until now since I have left Wikipedia. Thanks for adopting me, and good luck with your future Wikipedia edits! --Vinni3 (talk) 16:51, 26 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
