Hello, I'm Jessicapierce. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, John George Bourinot (younger), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Jessicapierce (talk) 02:20, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

To Jessica Pierce: Could you please tell me who you are and your interest in Canadian Senator, Lt.Col. John Bourinot. As an example, surely no reliable source gave him a middle name he never had. His son, Sir John George Bourinot, was named after his maternal grandfather, John George Marshall. Two of the above named are my great-grandfathers and one is my paternal grandmother’s brother. The site I was using was very unstable. I had a difficult time entering the data that I submitted. I can’t understand how the printed data was submitted and accepted. My family’s data is all backed by records in Jersey and in Nova Scotia. I don’t know if it is worth my time entering/submitting all my data if unbacked data will just replace mine.
