I understand you're new to Wikipedia, but as regards Gary Weis, we can't just "take your word for it" when someone adds something to an article. I'm sure you can understand. Otherwise, anybody could claim anything, without proof, and just throw it in here. That's why it's a core Wikipedia policy to WP:VERIFY the information, especially when it's about living people. I'm afraid if you keep making uncited, unfootnoted, unproven claims about a living person, I'll have to ask for admin intervention. What it comes down to is: If something is true, you should be able to find a reliable-source citation. If not, well, shouldn't that be a red flag? --Tenebrae (talk) 23:59, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

Please advise where the relevant legal documents should be sent to so that you can verify. Thank you -- — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bendor Lamont (talk • contribs)


 * I'm afraid that's not how Wikipedia works, and if you'd read at the very least the most basic policy, WP:VERIFY, that will explain that we need to footnote things with publicly available sources such as books, magazine and newspaper articles and professional / academic websites. A link to a New York Times wedding notice, for instance. Please read some of the relevant policies and guidelines &mdash; right now, it's like trying to drive without knowing the rules of the road. --00:22, 27 December 2013 (UTC)


 * If anything, you can contact the volunteer response team via email at info-en-q@wikimedia.org and provide them with evidence - see Contact us - Subjects for more details. I don't know whether they'll be able to help you without published reliable sources, though. Huon (talk) 01:01, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
