Welcome to Wikipedia. Please be aware of Wikipedia's policy that biographical information about living persons must not include unsupported or inaccurate statements. Whenever you add possibly controversial statements about a living person to an article or any other Wikipedia page, as you did to Jeff Monson, you must include proper sources. If you don't know how to cite a source, you may want to read Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners for guidelines. Thank you. Jasper Deng (talk) 01:48, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Danielle

Could you please discuss the edits you are making to the article about Jeff Monson? (your husband?) Unfortunately, even if you know what you are saying is true, we have very high standards for biographies of living people, which include citing any information using reliable, third-party sources. I'm sure it's frustrating and we're not saying you're a liar, but we do this to protect both the people written about in the encyclopedia and the encyclopedia itself from legal issues. As indicated in the COI message I've placed above, it's usually not a good idea to work on articles about someone you are close to. But suggestions can always be placed on the article's talk page. We might be able to help you find sources for the info. I'm talking about mainstream newspapers, magazines, etc. I hope this helps. If you keep adding the info without citing it, it will likely just be reverted again. Valfontis (talk) 03:06, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

We have strict rules about information being subject to verification if it is to appear in Wikipedia; this is especially true about living persons. Verification must come from impartial third parties who can be regarded as reliable sources without a conflict of interest. --Orange Mike | Talk 21:09, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
