Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Acelightning! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to insure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. if you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 49 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

Kenny Kosek - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

{{helpme}} How do I attribute the source of biographical information about a living person, when the information was largely derived from personal conversations with the person? I created two pages that have now been flagged for this problem, Tom Hanway and Kenny Kosek, and I need to know how to fix them Alice Stewart (talk) 13:51, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, you can't do that, because of the WP:Verifiability policy: "The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth—whether readers can check that material added to Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source, not whether editors think it is true" - there's no way your personal conversations can be verified. JohnCD (talk) 13:56, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

{{helpme}} Please explain what "verifiable" means; I've read the help topic, but I'm still not sure how I can go about verifying the information I have. Thanks. Alice Stewart (talk) 15:56, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Verifiable" means that a reader doesn't have to take Wikipedia's word, i.e. a Wikipedia contributor's word, for a statement, but is given a pointer or "citation" to a reliable, published source from which the information was taken, so that s/he can check it. See WP:Reliable sources for more detail of what counts as reliable - basically, somewhere with a degree of editorial control and fact checking, so the London Times would count as reliable, a blog or a Myspace page would not. WP:Citing sources tells you more about how to do that. JohnCD (talk) 08:48, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

{{helpme}} How about the individual's own webpage - not a blog, but a static page with the person's biography, background, contact information, and (since both of them are professional musicians) samples of and/or links for purchasing their work?

No, that would a) not be a reliable source (with a 'reputation for fact-checking and accuracy'), and b) it would be a primary source.

For example - I could create my own website saying all kinds of things I'd done - that I'd won a gold medal in the olympics or something - but I could not create an article about myself on that basis; I would have to show press coverage to prove the facts. Chzz ► 17:32, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A kitten for you!

Thanks for making the Judy Harrow article more accurate. Kittens are the ancient symbol for well-edited Pagan articles.

~T P W 20:54, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the kitten! As any Pagan group leader knows, keeping Pagans on-topic is like herding kittens, so the symbol is entirely appropriate. Judy would have especially appreciated that, since she was a champion kitten-herder of her own coven and her entire lineage. Alice Stewart (talk) 12:01, 5 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to 500 Miles. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Sundayclose (talk) 15:00, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
