Franklin Hansen incorrect information
( Moved from the Help desk)

I've tried changing information about Franklin Hansen twice and it always reverts back to the incorrect information that was there originally. Franklin was married to my great aunt; I have his death certificate, marriage license, and lots of family information. He was born May 2 1897 in Saugerties NY and died Jan. 13 1982 in Newport Beach CA.

And his middle name was not Bernhard...that's a different Franklin and not the guy who worked in Motion pictures. The Franklin I knew had no middle name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.25.172.243 (talk) 21:18, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Do you have published information? Because the thing is, not everyone has access to your family lore and documents.  What we need is reliable sources which have vetted your information.  Like you, everyone else at Wikipedia wants to get this correct; unlike you, however, we don't have access to your family history, so to insure the information is verifiable, it needs to have previously appeared in published works (like books, magazines, journals, etc.)  Unpublished documents like death certificates and marriage licenses aren't vetted, and aren't readily availible to anyone, so Wikipedia needs more.  If you have access to such writing, the correct place to discuss this is at Talk:Franklin Hansen, which is the discussion page for that article.  Please remember that other people are acting in the best interests of Wikipedia, as we are sure, are you; its just a matter of making your case with reliable documentation that we all can access.  Thanks for your help with the article, and good luck.  If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!  -- Jayron  32  21:31, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
 * There are four references in the article,  none of which support the material contested by the IP; IMDb, where the contested personal details are listed, is an external link and is not a WP:RS, and which the IP has stated is incorrect. While the IP has failed WP:BURDEN, so have the established editors who have reverted the material. I am unable to find material supporting either version, except in what I suspect are mirrors.

 * There is this that I found via this Google search. Any good?  Lugnuts  (talk) 10:20, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

The citation listed by above in the 1937 book is correct. It shows that Franklin was born in Saugerties NY in 1897 and was married to Dolly D. Dunning. The middle D is wrong. My great aunt was Edna Marion "Dolly" Dunning. Franklin wasn't famous enough that there is any source showing his life history. I had to do considerable research to find death records etc. And it's not available on-line. Unfortunately, someone put info in Wiki and IMDB for Franklin Bernhard Hansen, but he was the wrong Franklin Hansen and there's no link that shows he was the Franklin who was in movies...because he wasn't. I'm not going to go look any further for additional info just to meet WIKI requirements. Accept it or not. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.25.172.243 (talk) 04:58, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
