Welcome!
Hello, Broderiedart, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits to the page François Lesage have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may be removed if they have not yet been. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. Additionally, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Apologies, I overlooked that François Lesage had died - but the above advice still holds firm. The previous article, although much shorter than your contribution, cited four reliable sources, which you did not. Please feel free to re-submit your version of the article (you can view it here) - but please make sure you provide references and citations to show where you got your information from. Don't completely throw away a referenced article even if the quality is not 100%. I checked a few sentences for copyright violation and didn't see any red flags, which is good as it suggests you wrote it in your own words, so well done. The text just needs to be properly cited and referenced to show that your facts are from solid published sources, as this is important for verifiability purposes to give readers trust and faith in Wikipedia. Please don't be disheartened - it's easily fixed by adding in cites, sources and references. Mabalu (talk) 23:10, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

Dear Malabu, I hope you're well. Thank you very much for all your advices. I added the previous sources to the article I wrote. I also have source from a book (such as the quotes), but I do not know how to insert them. Maybe you could help me? Thank you. Broderiedart.
