Louis Brandeis

I have again reverted your additions to the Louis Brandeis page. I did so for two reasons: first, content must satisfy Wikipedia's verifiability policy. Your personal knowledge does not suffice, the addition must be such that it can be verified by any reader, so it requires reliable sources within the meaning of Wikipedia. Whether or not it is true is irrelevant, because as the Verifiability policy states, the threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth. Second, content must satisfy Wikipedia's notability policy. To be perfectly frank, whether a great-granddaughter of Justice Brandeis is dating someone or not at the present is just not notable (it is likely very notable to her, but just not the readers of Wikipedia). Please familiarize yourself with the policies. If you have any questions, or would like to make a case that your inclusions satisfy the criteria, you can do so in the Talk page of the article.
