Where are you getting this information from? You have removed a reliable reference that cited that the article's subject spoke three languages with what seems to be original research that he speaks more than three languages. Reliable sources are necessary to establish verifiability. You, JosefBar, seem to be indicating that you are the article's subject by using first person here on the talk page. Autobiographies are strongly discouraged and in this case seems to be creating a conflict of interest. Please take a look at the notability page here for an overview of why it's important to have reliable sources to establish verifiability. If you have any questions or need any help please leave me a message on my talk page. Narthring (talk • contribs) 05:04, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

Hello. The reference removed was old and incomplete info. I take your comments into account. JosefBar (talk) 05:25, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

Orphan tag

The orphan tag doesn't mean that there aren't enough references; it just means that there aren't (m)any other wikilinks in other articles linking to this article. To get rid of the tag there should be a few links to this article in other articles. Narthring (talk • contribs) 05:08, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

Hello Narthring. I felt that 2 or 3 added links should be fine. If you do not agree, please feel free to put the orphan tag back in. Regards.

JosefBar (talk) 05:21, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

That should be fine; I just looked back over the orphan guidelines and as long as there is at least one good wikilink the article doesn't need the orphan tag. Narthring (talk • contribs) 15:32, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
