Removal of citations

Please don't remove in-line citations from articles as you did at William Redgrave . Inline citations from reliable sources are fundamental to ensuring verifiability, one of our key principles on Wikipedia. Toddst1 (talk) 15:17, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I see you undid the repairs to William Redgrave by Toddst1 - I have reverted you again. Your edits are no doubt in good faith, but you need to learn how to use in-line citations. Moonraker (talk) 15:26, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You can recover your additions from the edit history (click on "prev"). If you add the new material without removing citations there should be no problem, especially if you can provide new citations. Additions from your own personal knowledge should be avoided - sources are needed. Moonraker (talk) 15:32, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

February 2012

Hello 20thcenturysculpture. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about following the reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Toddst1 (talk) 15:30, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
