Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living persons, as you did to Jackson Galaxy. Thank you. Coretheapple (talk) 18:44, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

I was his roommate for 2 years, how do I reference first hand knowledge? (DN1969 (talk) 19:49, 5 June 2014 (UTC))


 * Get written up in the New York Times or some other reliable source. Look, anyone can come to Wikipedia and make any kind of claim about anybody. We can't just take your word for it. We have to go with what's reported in reliable sources. Coretheapple (talk) 20:01, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
 * LOL! So why was the greek(?) name you had for Jackson Galaxy on there? Whatever reliable source that was couldn't have been more incorrect! That's the only reason I tried to edit it. (DN1969 (talk) 20:42, 5 June 2014 (UTC))
 * You're right. My mistake (by omission) - I had thought there was sourcing for that, but in fact, there isn't. It's gone now, and in fact the birth date isn't cited either so it's going too. Coretheapple (talk) 20:45, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

I know. Thanks. (DN1969 (talk) 20:50, 5 June 2014 (UTC))
 * I've removed the warning notice because it turns out you were right about his name, and found a source to back you up. Good work! Coretheapple (talk) 23:13, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
