Hello, I'm Mcmatter. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Lucille Ball, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. - McMatter (talk)/(contrib) 02:17, 22 November 2014 (UTC)


 * There are many many statements on that page and almost all other Wikipedia pages that have no citation. Let me ask you this, how do you deal with primary source information, the most reliable information there is, but yet cannot be give a citation unless the primary source, in this case MY MOTHER and MY GREAT AUNT, both who worked in that kitchen alongside Lucille, the person in question, agree to be cited as witnesses. They have reported to me that Hospital employees all talked about how this was actually Lucille Ball's daughter. And the math worked out. This person was the right age to have been born during that 2-year period when Lucille Ball returned to Jamestown. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BurninJamestownNY (talk • contribs) 02:31, November 22, 2014 (UTC)


 * We cannot use primary sources that are not published in a reliable source, and even then we often can't use them. We usually prefer secondary and tertiary sources, with some exceptions. If we accepted unsourced primary anecdotes, anyone could make up any story or detail and include it in any article here. That would seriously jeopardize the integrity of the encyclopedia. I'm going to add a welcome template below which contains some links to information. Please read those pages. -- Brangifer (talk) 02:51, 22 November 2014 (UTC)
