Don Bluth edit

Nierika2, I noticed you made a substantial edit to the Don Bluth article. I appreciate the new information, however, I am curious where it came from. Did you lift this information from another source? Did you author it yourself from personal experience? Also, the article contained a number of wikilinks, which you removed (as well as formatting). What is the reason for this? Any information you could provide is appreciated. In the meantime, I have reverted the change, but it can be restored once you state where the information was obtained. Thank you. — Frecklefσσt | Talk 13:21, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Frecklefoot,

Just got back on the site, sorry for not responding to this last year. The information we posted last year was from personal experience. When we reviewed the page last year, Gary asked me to update the info that was incorrect. Any links we deleted may not have been relevant info. Can this still be reverted?

Sincerely,

Kip Goldman Associate Producer Don Bluth Films, Inc.

PS, Don is semi-retired, however, we are currently seeking financing for a 2D Dragon's Lair movie.

Kip

Mr. Goldman (a.k.a. Nierika2), while personal experiences may or may not be reliable, one thing they definitely are not is verifiable, one of the hallmarks of Wikipedia sources. Unless the experiences appear in print somewhere, such as a magazine, a book or a reputable website (note reputable), we can't include it in articles. I don't remember what edits I was referring to above (it was over a year ago), but they can't be restored unless they are backed up with verifiable references. I know this can be frustrating, since these may be facts you know to be true. But verifiability is one of the standards we work hard to maintain. If you can find some verifiable references to back up your changes, I can help you restoring some of them (I think this is the change in question). — Frecklefσσt | Talk 01:54, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
