I see that you added back the information I deleted from the article Urs Bühler about who he was dating. The Wikipedia policy about biographies of living persons, WP:BLP requires that such information have a reliable source as a reference, so that it is verifiable. Please do not put the information back without citing such a reference. Even things that "everybody knows" or that you read somewhere (without remembering where) need a reference. Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. Edison (talk) 21:45, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add the unsourced information about the subject's personal life back to the article Urs Bühler or you will be blocked for violation of the WP:BLP policy. Thanks. Edison (talk) 21:54, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Note that policy WP:BLP says, in part, "Unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material about living persons — whether the material is negative, positive, or just questionable — should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion, from Wikipedia articles, talk pages, user pages, and project space." Thanks. Edison (talk) 22:01, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is a final warning: you will be blocked if you re-add the unsourced personal information. What is your source for believing that Bühler dated the two women in question? I find at Google News archive no article which mentions him in combination with either of them. Therefore, I will again remove the information. If you re-add it, I will have no choice but to block you from editing both for violating the WP:BLP policy and for violating the three-revert rule,which states "Edit warring is harmful. Wikipedians who revert a page in whole or in part more than three times in 24 hours, except in certain special circumstances, are likely to be blocked from editing." The penalty does not apply to those (like me) enforcing the biographies of living persons policy. Please discuss this matter rather than blindly engaging in a revert war. If you know of reliable sources for the information, it can be added, and I or other editors can help with the formatting of it. Thanks. Edison (talk) 22:10, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No need to apologize, and again welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your efforts to remove the libellous vandalism from the article. I looked for sources to back up the statements as to who he dated, but could not find any reliable sources. If you find a magazine or newspaper which contains the information, I could help to add it to the article. Please feel free to edit and improve articles and to fight vandalism.
