Why do you keep slandering Walter Malcolm Edge? A missing person since 1963, none of the claims you make can be substantiated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Carnieguy (talk • contribs) 19:34, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think that you are both proceeding in good faith with the Connie Meade-Edge article, and neither of you is vandalizing it. That said, as it says below every edit box, "Encyclopedic content must be verifiable." That means citing reliable sources, and there are none cited in the article. If reliable secondary sources are not forthcoming—i.e., newspaper stories and not first-hand interviews or other original research—the article is subject to deletion. —C.Fred (talk) 16:30, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did to Connie Meade-Edge. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. The "burden of proof" is on you to provide reliable sources for your additions. Since no sources are cited, I have removed them. —C.Fred (talk) 23:22, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you have a conflict of interest, you should 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;

I suggest you also review the guidelines against original research, which precludes you adding information you gained from first-hand interviews and contacts with relatives of the subjects. —C.Fred (talk) 23:24, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add unsourced content, as you did to Connie Meade-Edge. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. I suggest that, rather than attempting to revert the article again, you discuss your changes at Talk:Connie Meade-Edge. Make sure you present the sources that back up your proposed changes. —C.Fred (talk) 00:49, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re your comment on my talk page:

But I have spoken first hand to the mans wife he abandoned, his daughter joyce, and got this information. Joyce wrote up about it in the Horry County newspaper.

Information you have gained first-hand is original research; Wikipedia is not the venue for publishing that. If a reporter for a Horry County newspaper wrote the story up, then that is a reliable source; however, a search of the Sun News archive [1] turned up no hits on Connie Meade.

Remember that verifiability is a requirement for articles. If information cannot be verified to a published source, it cannot be used in an article. —C.Fred (talk) 05:01, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Connie Meade-Edge

The article Connie Meade-Edge has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Inability to verify any of the claims in the article. For instance, there are no hits on Google for "The Word with Holy Connie," which is surprising for a program that went off the air this year.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. —C.Fred (talk) 15:56, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
