Good morning-- Thank you for the feedback. I did not realize that I was doing something wrong. I was thinking that the changes kept getting automatically undone. (Apologies if I made you keep fixing it!!) I thought I was doing something wrong in the coding so kept trying over and over!

The problem is that there are very few online sources I can use for "verification." In my possession, I have all of my father's legal documents (passports, etc) but I'm not sure how I can use that.

I have other old photos. For example, I have a photo taken from a book with an article about him, but it's in Hebrew. I'm not sure how best to proceed.

Thank you so much. Dofri (talk) 17:51, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

i have newspaper clippings from the 1950s/60s, but they aren’t available as links. Can I use those somehow?

Also, I have a video of him being inducted into the Hall of Fame. Is that considered reliable? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IypDY529xYE

Would a biographical article on a basketball website be considered reliable? http://www.cadursela.co.il/Dictionary_Value.asp?id=170&Category=162&Dad=162%27

I will also try to use some translated articles such as this: https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=iw&u=https://news.xoox.co.il/item_2897335.htm&prev=search

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Dofri. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. gobonobo + c 09:23, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
