Wikipedia's sourcing requirements
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. :) I appreciate your interest in helping to improve the article on Alvin "Seeco" Patterson, but there are some sourcing requirements of which I need to make you aware. First, I am unsure if you are the unregistered editor who added this content or if your additions to the article are so far restricted to this and this.

I'll offer you information relevant to both what I know you've done and the IP edits, in case it was you.

In terms of what you've added, the addition of sources is always welcome, but these sources have to meet our standards of reliability. This is in accordance with our verifiability policy, our prohibition against original research and our "Identifying Reliable Sources" guidelines. We cannot reference unpublished interviews, ever. This is against our core policies. We don't accept original journalism here - we are a "tertiary" source that summarizes what secondary sources say about notable subjects. I have accordingly removed the interviews you listed.

General references are very helpful, but unless it is clarified which information in the wall of text that was added by the IP is sourced to which reliable source, I'm afraid it's going to have be removed again. Our biographies of living persons policy requires that we use scrupulous sourcing particularly related to living people. Our readers need to be able to look up the sources you cite and verify that the material is correct.

Please see Citing sources for how to add inline citations to articles and indicate which of this content you are asserting is supported by each source.

I'm happy to talk to you further about this here or on my talk page, or you would be very welcome to visit the WP:Teahouse, which is meant to be a welcoming environment for newcomers. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 11:52, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
