User talk:Sonuger

Welcome!

Hello, Sonuger, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits to the page Alfredo Yao have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may be removed if they have not yet been. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. As well, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Sourcing

Hello, I'm 220 of Borg. I noticed that you made an edit to a biography of a living person, Alfredo Yao, but that you didn’t support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.
You cannot say "After the collapse of Export and Industry Bank, Alfredo Yao has been diagnosed with numerous illnesses including Wilson's disease, frontal lobe disorder and liver cirrhosis (probably due to KARMA). He is presently busy finishing his last will and testament to transfer his ill-gotten wealth to posterity." without citing a source, apart from the fact that it is unencyclopaedic and a violation of Wikipedias Biographies of living persons and Neutral point of view policies. Please read these policies and consider your edits more carefully in future. Regards 220 of ^Borg 08:07, 7 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Edit Summaries

Hi there. When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field – please fill in your new section's name instead. Thank you.

Please see Referencing for beginners as such claims need to have a cite, not just a general 'source'.
I also question the 'notability' of this controversy as it is over 12 months old. (07/02/2011 means July 2, 2011?) If nothing came of it then it is likely best left out. (and I see now that another editor has reverted your last edits)
