Welcome!
Hello, Chrismullen67, 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 Peaches Geldof 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.

Editing biographies
Hello, Chrismullen67.

I believe that you edited Geldofs' page in good faith, but you added an assertion that she died of a heroin overdose, which unfortunately may be true based on some news reports. However, your first edit was un-sourced so being "un-sourced controversial information" it was properly reverted. The sources being used by others are speculating on what will be said at her inquest: eg:
 * "An inquest Thursday is expected to reveal the overdose as the cause of death, The Times of London reported". (My underlining)

They appear to be celebrity/ gossip pieces, and therefore not  reliable sources. There has been no finding, yet, that she died of an overdose of heroin. Please read beyond the 'story' titles, if you have not done so yet.

Please take a look at the links above in the 'Welcome' section. Also see Biographies of living persons(WP:BLP), most of which applies to the recently dead too.

It is not unusual for new editors to make mistakes, through not yet knowing Wikipedia policy, in their first edits. I hope your first experience of Wikipedia does not dissuade you from editing it to improve, expand or maintain it. Regards, --220  of  Borg 02:32, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
