Your edit request

Hi Rob what you say about the ancestry of Justin Bieber may be true, but until it is published somewhere else in a reliable source our Wikipedia guidelines would stop us from using this fact. This is actually something that happens quite often at Wikipedia where someone knows something about a topic that no one else does, and wants to include the facts here. We call this Original research. I am very sure that if you put more of a story about this ancestor together that some other publisher would be keen to include this. Otherwise we are going to need detailed genealogical sources to show who was born where and when to put a whole picture together. This then becomes a synthesis which is not for Wikipedia either. I could not confirm your statement in an internet search. So I suggest that you find a reliable newspaper or magazine and sell your story and get it published, then we can use it here!

Response: I am trying to provide factual information but am not sure how best to do so. I am not selling my story to anyone, I just want details about our family geneaology corrected as you have non-factual information published on this site. What a mickey-mouse process. So I can provide detailed geneaology records as factual proof, but don't want to publish the entire thing on the wiki. How do I have that corrected. This is my family for crying out loud... No disrespect intended, but you have to understand that the legitimacy of this site's information is called into question.

i am not incredibly adept at this site so don't know how to respond to you more directly.

How do I provide source documents without publishing in entirety on wiki?

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

I have geneaology records that need to be added so that I can correct glaring errors on wiki about family members. Titanius (talk) 20:22, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not the place for genealogical records. In order to add or revise information, we would need reliable sources to support the article content. If you have additional questions, please feel free to contact me. Best regards, Cind.amuse (Cindy) 20:34, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
