"No new sources to support the edit."

Hello. I was curious as to why the edit on Shroud (gamer) was reverted, because currently it says "he was born in Toronto, Canada" (there is no source saying that). However, the edit suggests that instead of mentioning the city it would be best to mention the REGION instead (Ontario encompasses BOTH Toronto AND Mississauga), since he attended a school in Mississauga - which is sourced instead of Toronto. Please let me know your reasoning, I'd love to hear back ! Also I'd love to see a source stating he was born in Toronto, since that is the edit you have reverted

Thank you !! =) Warmtoned (talk) 16:31, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Warmtoned: Hello and thank you for your message. The edit was reverted because it altered existing information about a living person without providing proper sources. As per Wikipedia's Biographies of Living Persons (WP:BLP) policy to which the article is subject to, existing content about living individuals, even if unsourced, should not be replaced or significantly altered without reliable citations. Replacing one unverified claim with another, even if it seems plausible, does not meet Wikipedia's standards for verifiability.

If you have a reliable source supporting the change, you are welcome to attempt the edit, ensuring that the new information complies with Wikipedia's guidelines. If no source supports the current statement, the correct course of action would be to mark it for removal or discuss it on the article's talk page as per WP:BRD and reach a broad consensus.
