Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your username and the date.
I noticed that you have reverted information into the Craig Mack page. Unfortunately, the sources you included do not meet WP's criteria for reliable sources, most especially for controversial information in a biography of a living person where editors are required to take particular care. Please read up on our policies and guidelines, and do not readd the material again, unless you can find better sources such as mainstream newspapers.
If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}}
on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome! Slp1 (talk) 01:00, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

[edit]Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living persons. Thank you. Slp1 (talk) 15:49, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

- Thanks for responding here. I think if you check our policies and guidelines then you will see that guestbooks and websites without a clear reputation for fact checking and editorial control do not meet WP's criteria. For example "Never use self-published sources—including but not limited to books, zines, websites, blogs, and tweets—as sources of material about a living person, unless written or published by the subject" See WP:SPS]]. If you'd like to get the opinions of other editors you could try posting at this noticeboard WP:BLP/N, proposing the text and the sources, but I can pretty much guarantee you that the answer will be no. Until you get the okay from other editors, please do not restore it: you risk being blocked from editing if you continue to restore this information. --Slp1 (talk) 16:16, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
