Unsourced biographical information
Hi. I wanted to explain why I reverted a change you made to Glenn Taranto. In this series of edits, you added biographical details, such as a birth date and ethnicity, but you didn't cite a reliable source. Wikipedia has strict rules on content in biographies of living persons because this can impact real peoples' lives. Please be aware that many sites on the internet purport to give information about celebrities, but few of them of reliable. Sites like the IMDb use user-generated content, and they should not be cited in biographical articles. Similarly, celebrity gossip websites should not be used because most of them don't have a history of fact checking or publishing corrections. Fan sites and blogs are self-published and have no editorial control. We also can't use primary documents, such as government birth databases or genealogical websites (which are also typically user-generated, as above). This means that the number of available sources is quite slim, and we often have to either go without some information or wait until a source like The New York Times or the BBC publishes a profile or interview that verifies the information. If you're not sure whether a source is reliable, you can ask at Reliable sources/Noticeboard. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 03:31, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

Please leave an edit summary
Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that your recent edit to Genovese crime family Springfield faction did not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief.

The edit summary field looks like this:

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder by setting, and then click the "Save" button. Please also note that the Find-A-Grave website is not a reliable source for birth and death information and should not be cited as a source of information in articles. A better source is needed that is independent of the subject, such as a newspaper obituary. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 20:58, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
