Hubert Chesshyre
Hello, Aletheia friend!

I appreciate that your user name means "truth friend", from the Greek ἀλήθεια, so I am sure that your recent edit to the article on Hubert Chesshyre was made in good faith and was intended to be a constructive contribution to the editing process. Unfortunately, it has been necessary for your edit to be reverted for a number of reasons. (I did not revert it myself, but would have done so had somebody else not already done it.) Your contribution was so specific with regard to the charges against Mr Chesshyre that you are clearly somebody who has personal knowledge of the judicial process that took place back in 2015. However, Wikipedia is based on published and reliable sources, not personal knowledge, however accurate. Unless you are able to find a published source for your claims, I'm afraid that the rules of Wikipedia mean that you will not be able to include them in the article. Furthermore, while you are seemingly trying to represent Mr Chesshyre in as sympathetic a light as possible, you should be aware that as he is a living person, Wikipedia has very specific rules about what you can and cannot say about him, in case your comments could be construed as being defamatory or invasive of his privacy. If you want to publish your personal knowledge of the case I think you'd be better off suggesting a story to a newspaper or writing a blog.--SeptemberInteriors (talk) 20:35, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
