Regarding your edits to Richard Sherzan
Hi, I've found that your edits to the page, while meaning well, were a bit disruptive. This was because you deleted all of the sources and templates from the page. I reverted these edits, but removed all of the unsourced information from the page. Explodicator7331 (talk) 14:11, 18 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Thank you. However, I don't know how to remove the template that is now at the top of the page.  I tried to add myself, Richard Sherzan, as a citation source authority;  however, after I did that today, 4/18/23, the top template remained.  Could you please erase the top template, which states additional citation is needed?  Thank you!  Richard Sherzan 2604:2D80:C026:0:CBA:8D07:5006:EBC1 (talk) 16:55, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Well, Wikipedia doesn't permit the primary sources being from the page itself, as it goes standard consensus. People in general have a tendency to show themselves in a positively biased manner, which is why we prefer secondary sources, such as newspapers and other outlets. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a publisher, so this means we don't take "original research". We also make sure that people know where the information is coming from, hence why we have source citations.
 * We have a few essays about this, such as our guidelines on autobiographical articles, as well as the one linked above regarding original research. Since I've found everything to be reliably sourced, I'm going to remove the template. However, I'm going to remove your citation as well due to the reasons I've stated above.
