User talk:Attacksquid

[edit]Hi. Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for working to improve the site with your edit to Adi Granov, as we really appreciate your participation. However, the edit had to be reverted, because Wikipedia cannot accept uncited material or original research. This includes material lacking cited sources, material obtained through personal knowledge, or which constitutes the an analysis or interpretation by the editor that is not found in cited sources. Wikipedia requires that the material in its articles be accompanied by reliable, verifiable (usually secondary) sources explicitly cited in the article text in the form of an inline citation, which you can learn to make here. It should also be pointed out that the passage is already phrased in the past tense anyway, making this addition unnecessary. If you ever have any other questions about editing, or need help regarding the site's policies, just let me know by leaving a message for me in a new section at the bottom of my talk page. Thanks.

- Hi, Attacksquid. Thanks for contacting me. I'd be more than happy to help. If the past tense with which the passage was already phrased is insufficient, then perhaps we can add something more precise, though we'd need to cite a reliable, published source, as explained above. You mentioned a conversation on Facebook, but I could not see that conversation when I clicked on the link you provided me, and indeed, the problem with Facebook, aside from the need to verify that it is Tasmin's official account, is that Wall posts tend to roll off the page as new ones are made. Does she have her own website, one that is explicitly indicated to be hers? If she can add that information to the biography section or page of her website, we can cite that page and add that information to the passage. And if she doesn't have one, perhaps it can be added to the bio section of her husband's site? Let me know. Nightscream (talk) 15:25, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
- Okay! Feel free to email me using the "Email this user" link in the lefthand sidebar. In addition, Adi and I have corresponded, so he has my email as well. Thanks again. :-) Nightscream (talk) 22:53, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
