Hello, I'm Oblivy. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Eric Peronnard, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Oblivy (talk) 00:45, 5 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi!
 * Eric is a good friend of mine. The text I added was written by a friend of his. What kind of citation I could add if all of the text was written by his friend? 2001:56B:9FFF:4E2B:8988:4190:C8AE:D785 (talk) 01:40, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Put simply, all information added to Wikipedia must be supported by a reliable source.I suggest you start with WP:RS and WP:BLP. These set out the basic requirements for referencing, and the heightened requirements for biographies. You will need secondary sources, independent of the article subject, who have written about the material you want to add. Information written by a friend is unlikely to meet that standard (which is not to say person with a close relationship can't create a well-sourced article, just that it's rare).Please also read WP:COI for how to handle situations where you have a personal relationship that may affect your editing.
