Tips 
 * Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
 * It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
 * If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Sign your messages with four tildes ( ~ ), be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
 * When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
 * If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
 * Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Hello, I'm Waxworker. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Jo Ann Pflug, 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. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. see WP:DOB Waxworker (talk) 11:37, 5 May 2024 (UTC)


 * That's perfectly understandable. I didn't know I had to provide a citation. I picked up the data by a search on the 'net. I saw the same date of birth on two separate sites, and since they didn't seem collaborative or connected, I assumed the information was correct. Date of births are notoriously difficult to establish accurately, since people often provide incorrect data, to prevent fraudsters from gaining access to bank and telephone accounts.
 * Without sight of the birth certificate, church or hospital records,I suspect all date of births are nit possible to validate. (As an instance, one of my relatives who is very well known, is cited on Wikipedia and the date of birth (deliberately) is incorrect by the year, month and date).
 * Best wishes,
 * Ian
