Lou Ferrigno
Hi. Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for working to improve the site with your edit to Lou Ferrigno, as we really appreciate your participation. However, the edit had to be reverted, because Wikipedia cannot accept unsourced material or original research. This includes material lacking cited sources, or obtained through personal knowledge or unpublished synthesis of previously published material. Wikipedia requires that all material added to articles be accompanied by reliable, verifiable (usually secondary) sources explicitly cited in the text in the form of an inline citation, which you can learn to make here. If you have any other questions about editing, or need help regarding the site's policies, just let me know by leaving a message for me in a new section at the bottom of my talk page.


 * Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and as such, is written in a formal tone. This means, among other things, we do not refer to subjects by their given name. See WP:SURNAME
 * Sentences end in punctuation marks, such as periods.
 * Season 5 of Celebrity Apprentice has not yet premiered, so there is no reason to phrase it in the past tense.
 * We do not use seasons like "Spring" in this context, because they are hemisphere-centric. Please see WP:SEASON.

Thanks. :-) Nightscream (talk) 17:45, 26 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi. If you want to add material to articles like Lou Ferrigno, the material must be accompanied by citations of verifiable sources. You can learn how to make the citations here. There's even a series of citation templates that you can use to make it easier, which are found here. If the sources in question are print sources, then you need to indicate the full publication info (or as much of it as you have, so that Verifiability is satisfied. If the source is an online source, then this includes the url. Please do not add material without such citations, as you did with these edits to Lou Ferrigno. I'd be more than happy to help you.


 * For now, I'll leave your additions alone (except for the dated term--see more on that below), and if you can give me the two urls in question, I'll show you how to do it, by formatting the citations for you and adding them to the article myself.


 * Also, make sure not to use dated wording like "recent", since this violates WP:DATED. Thanks again. :-) Nightscream (talk) 22:06, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
