Thanks for experimenting with the page Patricia Kennealy-Morrison on Wikipedia. Your recent edit appears to have added incorrect information and has been reverted or removed. All information in the encyclopedia must be verifiable in a reliable published source. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thanks.

I'm particularly concerned that you are adding information which is easily and demonstrably inaccurate. Whatever your opinion on Ms. Kennealy-Morrison's claims, her name is legally "Kennealy-Morrison". Changing this in the text is not helpful to the article. I'm also troubled by your edit description saying "Edited yet again to reflect Morrison's side of their "marriage"".[1] Mr. Morrison hasn't been around to speak for himself for a very long time. Ms. Kennealy-Morrison is still alive and her article needs to be in line with Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy. Many of the sources for what you are calling "his" side are second- and third-hand, some even fourth-hand I believe. If you want to include this information, please include references.

Fountain of tyr

A tag has been placed on Fountain of tyr, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the page's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself.

If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this. -- Shadowlynk (Talk) 05:03, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Since this ended up getting a bit confusing, I'll copy over my reply to your message on my talk page to be sure you receive it:

I didn't delete it, I merely tagged it for deletion. An administrator deleted it. Please don't take it the wrong way, I'm not claiming you did anything wrong intentionally. According to the Tyr talk page, this particular "fact" is actually an act of vandalism that persisted on the Tyr page for about seven months a couple of years ago. The very few links that come up in a Google search are merely copies of that talk page, or discussions spreading that erroneous fact based on the Wikipedia article itself or one of the many sites that copies Wikipedia's material. Absolutely none of these are from reliable, third-party sources. You probably heard this info from one of those discussions. Unfortunately, when vandalism doesn't get cleaned up on Wikipedia, things like this can happen. -- Shadowlynk (Talk) 09:05, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

(This edit added for clarity)

Okay, understandable confusion. However, I've known about the Fountain of Tyr since long before Wikipedia existed. Unfortunately, the only reference I know of it offhand is from one of Barry Sadler's books in the series "Casca : The Eternal Mercenary". Since this is a work of fiction I didn't cite it as a reference, and also since I couldn't find an online reference to it anyway. So I think in a nutshell, you're going to make me do some homework on this one, ain't ya ;) No worries, I'll track this down because I know it exists, and I actually have friends in Iceland who can assist. I'll update you when I re-submit. Thanks.SuicideTaxi 09:36, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
