 * perhaps you can assist me. Dennis Hillman was my father. He passed away on December 10th 2023. I was with him. Any help you can give me would be appreciated.

 * Hello @Elisabeth Bond
 * My condolences. Changing his description to "my father" is inappropriate because Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. What appears on his page is not a message from you, but rather an encyclopedia entry. For this reason, your last edit, which reads like a tribute, is also not appropriate. If you have a reliable secondary source documenting his death, I'm happy to edit the article to note it and any relevant information. Please refrain, however, from editing in the first person.

 * Thank you for the advice and condolences. I have certified copies of his death certificate. I would also like to add more information about his achievements (ie he was British Heavyweight champion 3 times and served 20 years in the British Army). There are undoubtedly people who would want to know of his passing. Elisabeth Bond (talk) 00:09, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
 * As I mentioned, Wikipedia community guidelines require reliable sources for the information you want to add. You can review the relevant guideline at Reliable sources. I also note that per COI, you have a conflict of interest on this article. While you are technically allowed to edit it, your doing so is strongly discouraged for a number of reasons. I am happy to add information, supported by sources, should you provide them.
 * Are there any news articles or other secondary sources (say, an obituary in a newspaper), that could be cited to confirm Mr. Hillman's death and its date? Could you provide any sources about his championship title and military service that I could use to add that information? Do feel free to reply to this conversation (I'll make sure to check your talk page from time to time) or to write on my own talk page.
 * Best wishes, Arcendeight (talk) 02:24, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
