Hello, I'm Oshwah. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Lloyd Pye, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 11:51, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I can't see you being happy here. We are a main stream encyclopedia, not just a website. Sources need to be 'reliably published', and for DNA that means academic sources - published academic sources, not claims on someone's website. Read WP:VERIFY and WP:RS. As a minor aside, articles need to be written in a formal tone, as you'd expect in an encyclopedia, and your writing isn't good enough. Your post was more like a comment on a web forum.
