Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit. This is particularly important when adding or changing any facts or figures and helps maintain our policy of verifiability. Take a look at Wikipedia:Citing sources for information about how to cite sources and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.--John (talk) 07:35, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

See, we're in a lose-lose situation here. If you are the subject of the article you can't edit it. And if you aren't, but are claiming to be... The best thing to do would be to post at Talk:Michelle Shocked and explain your concerns there. The language you inserted in the article was not appropriate for an encyclopedia anyway. Let's discuss the best way forward on article talk. --John (talk) 08:16, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's no original research policy by adding your personal analysis or synthesis into articles, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. --John (talk) 17:27, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
