Yes, I do have a copy of the Sun Times article - it is dated November 15, 1992, written by Raymond R. Coffey. Emelas333 (talk) 04:18, 11 January 2013 (UTC)Elizabeth Melas

Centennial Fountain
This is the first time I've edited something on Wikipedia. Everything I wrote is absolutely factual, though I'm not sure how to reference it, but I will try again. Yes, this is my father who is almost 90 years old and this is very important to him. The Fountain was named after him, yet the article never mentions who he is. Any assistance you can offer me would be greatly appreciated.
 * Thanks! Everyone around here learns by trial and error, asking for help (and sometimes reading lots of convoluted policy :)). I fixed some things. Your prior entry mentioned a Suntimes article do you have a cite for that (author date and title) -- seems like a good source. Alanscottwalker (talk) 17:42, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

I thank you for your contribution, above, and I do mean that. Unfortunately, I had to revert, (i.e. remove them) largely because they are uncited and they may involve a living person. Please see WP:BLP for why we need to cite all information about people. In addition all quotes must be cited (see WP:WHYCITE). As an aside, your name suggests you might be related to the subject but if you are, it is especially important to strictly maintain a neutral point of view in what you write. I am sorry, but if you add citations, much of what you wrote could be re-added by you. Seek help if you need it. There is a project for new users at WP:TEAHOUSE. -- Alanscottwalker (talk) 16:59, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
