Thanks for your note! First off — you don't need to send me information, because you can add it yourself. What you need to do when adding information is to ensure that all of what you add is based on reliable published sources that are properly cited. In general, reliable sources are ones that are reviewed by an editor — your local newspaper or a book printed by a well-known publisher will likely be a good example of a reliable source, while something self-published is not considered reliable, and something published by a minor publisher isn't too likely to be reliable. For a print source, you need to include enough data that anyone can know what the source is and where to find the information in that source: therefore, besides the title of the work, you'll need to include at least the author's name, the publisher's name, the date of publication (if known), and the page number(s) where the information can be found. For a web source, the URL is the most important part — as long as the link works, someone else can add the missing data — but you also need to add the date of access, and you should also include the name of the author and of the website and the date of the page's publication, if you can find it. For more detailed information, you can read a couple of guidelines on this subject: WP:RS on reliable sources, and WP:CITE on citations. Nyttend (talk) 20:55, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
