Hello Ashpop, welcome to WIkipedia and thank you for.

Unfortunately, your correction can't be accepted for the time being. Wikipedia has a very firm policy on verifiability: everthing we say must be backed up by reliable sources. This is especially important when it comes to biographies of living persons; we'd rather report outdated information than "corrected" versions which we have no way of checking. That way, we avoid a great deal of potential harm to peple's lives and to the encyclopedia which could come of false information about living persons.

In this case, the Pittsburg Post-Gazette, which is a reliable source, has reported in 2009 on Mr. Powlaski's legal trouble relating to Ms. Gladish. As far as I can tell, that's all reliable sources have said on the subject of his personal romantic life. I did, however, leave out the information about his supposed first wife, as I did not see her mentioned in the published sources.

If you can't provide a similar, more recent source proving what you have to say, I'm afraid we have to leave the old version up for now. Regrettably, we have no way of knowing you are who you say you are, and I'm sure you can understand how important it is not to let invisible strangers determine the article's content in opposition to what published sources have reported. If we let that happen, anyone could say anything, and a lot of it might be very nasty. FourViolas (talk) 03:59, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
