 * Hi. I'm pleased you have decided to stop messing around, but I'm afraid I've still had to revert your addition of a "Awards and Recognition" section to Medgar Evers, as it was unsourced. Factual additions to Wikipedia articles need sources to verify them - see WP:V for guidance on verification, and WP:RS for what constitutes reliable sources. For example, the claim that "Evers was identified as the best-known champion of the civil rights" would be very contentious without a reliable source saying who identified him thus and when, and in what context. Also, his bachelor's degree is not really fitting in an "Awards and Recognition" section if he just gained it by his time at college (which is covered elsewhere in the article). If perhaps it was a posthumous honorary award or something like that, we'd need a supporting source. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 14:15, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
