Please do not add or change content, as you did to Gay Blackstone, without verifying it by citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. GiantSnowman 14:08, 30 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Gay is a real person and modified her own listing. That counts as a verifiable source according to Biographies of living persons.  Using the subject as a self-published source

Further information: WP:SELFPUB Living persons may publish material about themselves, such as through press releases or personal websites. Such material may be used as a source only if: 1.	it is not unduly self-serving; 2.	it does not involve claims about third parties; 3.	it does not involve claims about events not directly related to the subject; 4.	there is no reasonable doubt as to its authenticity; 5.	the article is not based primarily on such sources.

 * Nope, see WP:AUTOBIO which states "Writing an autobiography on Wikipedia is strongly discouraged, unless your writing has been approved by other editors in the community. Editing a biography about yourself should only be done in clear-cut cases" and WP:GNG which states that articles need " significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject."
