Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Britten

I have removed your recent addition for the time being: I don't doubt that it was correct in every particular, but for all Wikipedia articles, and our top-rated "Featured Articles" (such as Britten's) in particular, we require all statements to be supported by citations to reliable sources. Point me in the direction of such a source for your recent addition and I'll gladly show you how to add the requisite citation. Best wishes, and a warm welcome to Wikipedia.

Tim, I visited the School recently. It is called Benjamin Britten and is in Lowestoft. I met a young gentleman from the Britten Pears Foundation who confrmed the relationship as did the Headmaster.

Yes, but do have a look at the page on how to refer to verifiable sources. The thinking is that anyone looking at any statement in Wikipedia can, if he or she wants, check that it is backed up by a good, published source. Your conversations with the man from the BPF and the headmaster don't satisfy that criterion of verifiability. I've found the school's website, which is a suitable source, and I'll add a line accordingly to the Britten article. Tim riley talk 08:20, 29 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
