Welcome!

Hello, Abeiku Abeeku, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits to the page Herman Bailey have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may be removed if they have not yet been. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. As well, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Herman Bailey
Hi there. I think it's great that you want to improve Wikipedia - thank you so much! Your additions to Herman Bailey have been removed. I presume you're also the same person who was adding that content yesterday. It's great that you made an account. The reasons your edits have been removed are mainly because of verifiability and lack of sources. Wikipedia relies on a few important things when it comes to adding and removing content:
 * Unsourced content that is unverifiable (you can read WP:VERIFY for more information on that) can be removed from Wikipedia - and that includes family member names. I think it's great that you are aware of who his parents and daughter are, but, until there are citations stating this information - anyone can say it, so, it's important to cite this information with Reliable third party sources. In the end, unless you can verify using those types of sources, it's best to not add things to the articles. Less is more, especially when we're trying to provide students and the public with a reliable trust worthy source.
 * Removing content without explanation is something that doesn't go well on Wikipedia. You removed a chunk of information that is cited with reliable sources. While it might not be part of the pleasant history of Mr. Bailey's life, it is a part of who he was and probably effected his work and life choices.

I have a feeling you might also be related to Mr. Bailey, as a relative or a colleague/friend. If this is the case, you should read our conflict of interest policy. Any changes you'd like to make to the article should be placed on the talk page the article (you'll see the "talk" button next to the "read" tab towards the upper left corner of the article) - there you can make requests and share information about the subject and other Wikipedians can review it and see if it needs to be added or removed. I hope this helps some. Thanks again, SarahStierch (talk) 22:38, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
