Please always base your edits to Wikipedia articles on WP:Reliable sources. Unpublished commentary or our own experience/knowledge rather fail that requirement. Vsmith (talk) 22:56, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

Help me!
My brother is Tom Brown, Jr listed in Wikipedia. Someone was questioning his childhood and posted "There is no evidence that "Stalking Wolf" ever existed.[2]" based on a newspaper article. I am a former New Jersey Assistant Commissioner of Health and a former Dean at Ocean County College. I currently teach totally online for several universities including CUNY and I was trying to verify my brother's account of his childhood because I was there as his little brother 3 years younger. This was almost immediately deleted by Vsmith. It was originally part of his Wikipedia account but someone deleted my original statement back in 2008 listed as Millarbank in the account history. What do I need to do in order to correct this misinformation? https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-james-w-brown-86399bb/ Kind regards, Dr. Jim Brown 107 Lakewood Road, Neptune NJ 07753 732 861-6854 drjameswbrown@gmail.com

Please help me with... correcting this misinformation in my brother's biography on Wikipedia

 * Wikipedia content summarizes what reliable published sources have reported about the subject. The Philadelphia Inquirer is such a reliable source. Your personal testimony about your brother does not meet Wikipedia's standards of reliability. If the Inquirer's summary of the lack of evidence regarding that Apache's existence is incorrect, I'd advise you to contact the Inquirer and ask them to publish a correction. When the Inquirer does so, Wikipedia can follow suit. Huon (talk) 00:39, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
