 * Hi I'm declining this edit request because the source given isn't good enough for what you want adding. The website you've given appears to be Ettinger's own website, and while (per WP:ABOUTSELF) that can be used as a reliable source for simple facts about the subject, the things you want adding, such as his date of birth, don't appear to be on that website (not at first glance anyway). The other paragraph you want adding about the website would need other independent sources to be added to the article (for example, He is an expert, according to whom?). If you need help with references, this page might help you, and I will soon add a box to the top of this talk page with links to find reliable sources about Ettinger. You could also visit the reference desk. Once you've found reliable sources, you can re-submit another edit request. The career section that you added to the page appears to have been removed by  per WP:NOTCV. If you need any more help, click here to find where you can get help. Thanks.
