Wikipedia rules are clear on this, and it comes down from Jimbo himself: We DO NOT have uncited, unfooted claims about living people, and that includes claims of supposed last names. Additionally, inline links have long been deprecated, and WP:CITE, WP:SOURCE and other regulations stipulate we use footnotes. If you remove footnotes, that's vandalism and I will report that to admins. --24.215.162.198 02:26, 3 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Everything, including the seasons 1-3 cast list, need to be cited, but I can't do everything. The rules of Wikipedia are clear, and this is the primary rule on every edit page: "Encyclopedic content must be verifiable." Please see the Five Pillars of Wikipedia for an overview of the rules.--24.215.162.198 19:30, 3 December 2007 (UTC)


 * And I have a question: You write on my talk page "The last names are correct, even if they aren't cited." How do you know? If it's a fact, then that information had to come from somewhere. --24.215.162.198 19:32, 3 December 2007 (UTC)


 * You answered on my talk page, "because I'm one of those names and I know they are all correct, which is why I tried to keep them up there." Wikipedia forbids what it calls original research, which means stuff that someone may know or think they know but can't prove with a published or online citation.


 * This is one of the cornerstones of Wikipedia and an incredibly important one &mdash; because anyone can claim to be anyone, and there's no way of knowing. You say you're one of the people involved in the show -- but you can understand that no one here has any proof of that.


 * This is why everything has to have a citation that anyone who wants to can look up for themselves. I'm sure you can see the importance of that now. --24.215.162.198 21:12, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Defamation with false edit summary
Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours has an edit summary that appears to be inaccurate or inappropriate. Please use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did, and feel free to use the sandbox for any tests you may want to do. Thank you. --Closeapple (talk) 04:43, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Please do not add defamatory content to Wikipedia, as you did to XFX. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. --Closeapple (talk) 04:43, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
