Please do not add or change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did to List of multiple births. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Cresix (talk) 23:13, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

I am not exactly sure how I am expected to site this source since I am speaking about the birth of my own children. If you have ideas I am open to suggestions Benscoterquads (talk) 04:00, 4 September 2010 (UTC)Benscoterquads

Please do not add unsourced or original content, as you did to List of multiple births. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

Please note that you cannot add information to Wikipedia if it does not have a reliable source. Please read WP:RS. There are two major problems here. First, the threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth. You say you are the parent, but Wikipedia has no way of knowing if that is the truth. That is why reliable sourcing from a source that is unrelated must be provided (such as a reputable newspaper, magazine, book, etc.). I could claim that I am Barack Obama and completely rewrite that page, but my saying it does not make it true. Secondly, if there are no reliable sources about these quadruplets, such an item cannot be added to the article. That's the only way this can be an unbiased, reputable encyclopedia. Please read the blue links. If you need help, put on your talk page. Thank you. Cresix (talk) 04:23, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

So would the obituary of one of the Quads suffice as a reputable source? Here's the link. The kids were born in October and Daphne passed away in December. http://obit-obits.com/d20081218zp21

 * Sorry, that obit names one child and says nothing about quadruplets, at least the part of the obit that can be accessed by the general public. The remainder of the obit requires an account to view; such sources are not considered acceptable on Wikipedia. See WP:RS. Cresix (talk) 14:42, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
