Reliable sources[edit]

I've undone your edit to Ed Gein because your grandmother can not be considered a reliable source as defined by WP:RS. Thanks, --Hammersoft (talk) 19:35, 22 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Let me add, for the sake of clarity, that we are not suggesting that your grandmother is in any way unreliable; only that Wikipedia editors must use information that other reliable sources have already published. We appreciate your attempt to improve the encyclopedia, and I hope that this does not discourage you from continuing to contribute. If you can locate a published source that corroborates your grandmother's version of events, you are welcome to re-add the material and cite the source. If you have any questions or need any help, please feel free to leave a message here, or on my talk page. Cheers, DoctorJoeE ^{review transgressions}/_{talk to me!} 20:20, 22 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

My source is Clifford Banks who found Henry Gein's body with hypodermic needle marks in his arms. There was no fire! Ed reported Henry missing and a search party. including my Great Uncle, Clifford Banks, was formed. My edit was 100% fact.

I'm sorry, but as DoctorJoeE has explained above other reliable sources have already published and published source is needed for the information to be inserted in the article. Please read WP:OR for further information. Regards, David J Johnson (talk) 21:16, 22 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Henry Gein[edit]

Hi Rusty - I thought you might be interested in a newspaper article that appeared at the time of Henry Gein's death. It appeared in the Wisconsin Rapids Daily Tribune, May 19, 1944, page 1, column 1:
Rites Today For
Man Who Died in
Roche-a-Cri Fire
Plainfield, Wis.- Funeral services
were held here this afternoon for
Henry Gein, 42, town of Plainfield
farmer who died of a heart attack
while trying to protect his farm
from the ravages of a grass and
brush fire.

Mr. Gein who lived on a farm in
the Roche-a-Cri community -with his
brother Edward and with their
mother, Mrs. George Gein, was
burning over their marsh Tuesday
when the fire escaped control and
required the emergency help of a
crew of voluntary fire fighters.
At day's end, with the fire under
control, the men returned to their
homes when it was discovered that
Henry Gein had not come in with
the others.

A searching party, with lanterns
and flashlights, searched the burned
over area and in the evening, sev-
eral hours after the search began,
found the dead body of Mr. Gein,
lying face down. Apparently the man
had been dead for some time when
he was found, and it appeared that
death was result of a heart attack,
since he had not been burned or
otherwise injured.

The services this afternoon will
be at Goult funeral parlors in Plain-
field, the Rev. Wisner, new Baptist
minister at Plainfield, officiating.
Burial will be in Plainfield ceme-
tery.

Mr. Gein is survived by his moth-
er and brother. He had lived all his
life in the Plainfield community and
was unmarried.

Interesting, huh? 32.218.45.136 (talk) 22:44, 22 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
