Your contributions
Hello, it was nice having you in the class. I am looking over some of your edits and adding what comes to my mind.

Thanks for keeping the conversation flowing in the class. As a host of the class, it helps me when people you help me engage others in the group.  Blue Rasberry  (talk)  21:17, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Here you noted a place of death. As a Wikipedian I immediately notice that there is no citation, and that you have a note about personal experience. Wikipedia usually does not cover personal information. One reason for that is that if there is no published source by means of which to conduct verification, then it is not possible to crowdsource the quality review of this information. While what you added is not so controversial and may stand, in other cases this kind of information often starts arguments. More common than death dates years of birth are commonly changed, especially in the case of entertainers. The common case is that early in their careers there is a reporting of their age, then later in life they want their age changed contrary to what was previously published. What you have added is grey because it probably is not controversial, but on the other hand it is information without a citation. You need not change anything, but that is my thought process and probably what some others would think too.
 * I hope you saw your answer at Help_desk/Archives/2015_January_27. It seems like you responded after they fixed the problem you brought to the help desk. Good job making your way to the help desk and I am glad the exchange seemed to work.
 * About that problem - perhaps if you look again at your "diff" (slang for change you made) it will be apparent to you what went wrong. it says " " but at the start of the reference that tag should just be used once.
