Wikipedia can only use information from published sources

Mr. Pratt, thanks for taking your valuable time to contribute to Wikipedia. We are grateful for any information you can provide.

However, Wikipedia policy requires that all information in our articles must be based on published sources. (See Wikipedia:No original research and Wikipedia:Verifiability.) That means that we unfortunately cannot accept first-person accounts like the one you provided for Avenging Annie.

This does not mean that your account is bad or that we don't believe it is truthful or valuable. Just that Wikipedia is the wrong venue.

The best thing would be if you could provide references to (and quotes from) magazine interviews, books, and other published sources, that we could use as a basis for articles on your work.

Thanks.
