I am a resident of the tiny little beach side community where nothing happens so I have lots of time to explore Wiki. I so want to escape this life and move to England. Until then, I have started to author or rewrite articles and still appreciate any advice, suggestions and whatever else can be offered because I want to do this well!!

John Henry Browne page
I'm not really expert level here but but have been very involved in certain pages, especially regarding people running for public office. There are times I'll find up to four sources when I know the material is true and relevant but puts the subject in a bad light.

I think proper sourcing is a core value at Wikipedia. Or at least it should be. I went to the reference and nothing was there. I didn't think it was on me to try to see if I could find if the page had moved or there was some other good source. I did later go to the Washington Bar site and search for any admonishments against him and got nothing. I find it curious, but none the less it should not be on wiki if it can't be properly sourced. Anyone who can find a proper reference can put it back.

Actually, expired or dead links or other reasons a source link doesn't come up when you go to it is becoming a very sore subject for me. I think I'm going to be more aggressive in removing things when the source is gone and let someone else correct me if I go to far.

IMOP there is NOTHING more important here than proper sourcing of the material. This has become the most used resource for information on the planet. We owe it to people that read things here to be correct, especially in biographies of living persons.

I emailed the bar. They responded quoting the part that verifies what was written here. The problem is, it's not publicly available unless you email them. I don't think it meets the standard for use here. I have conformation that it's true but can use it. I should probably post in the talk section and see if anyone has any ideas.
