Hello, I'm Jim1138. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Disappearance of Corrie McKeague, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Jim1138 (talk) 07:53, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

Who you are
You do realize that I have no idea who you are? Providing evidence for you identity would be rather difficult and I am not equipped to do so. That is one reason why Wikipedia needs to be referenced. Please see below. Thank you Jim1138 (talk) 09:16, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

So how would you like me to prove this for you. I think it would be quite simple for you to prove who I am. Send me your e mail address or Facebook or phone number and I will happily talk to you live on a camera. Go onto my Facebook page and I will respond to you. I want information out there about corrie. If you are not interested in getting the truth then please just delete your page

Your messages to me

My e mail address is nicolaj36@msn.com can you please write to me there. I have no idea where I am supposed to write on here

Information on Corrie
Hi; I'm The joy of all things (talk) 10:12, 7 November 2016 (UTC). Can I just say that we are all praying and hoping for you.

I created the page about Corrie. The way Wikipedia works with these pages is complicated. Because it is a biography about a living person (BLP), we have to cite and reference our facts rather than just place them and leave them. If you look at the opening statement, it is from the Courier (your local paper) and states where Corrie went to school. It does not state that he was born in Perth. I am not doubting the fact that he was, but we need reliable second and third party sources to state this information, otherwise, because the page is about a living person and there is a danger of libel, we cannot allow uncited facts to go on the page. Unfortunately, Facebook is not classified as a reliable source (WP:SELFSOURCE).

This does not change anything that is true and held to be true; only that Wikipedia needs its sources. Please do not be upset about justifying facts about your child/children. No-one is questioning that. What I would say is change what you feel is necessary, but some of it may be deleted because it does not fall under the reliably sourced umbrella. I see under your username that you have deleted some of the sources - please do not do this unless you have some reliable sources to counter these arguments. As a Wikipedia page, it must remain neutral - we just present the facts as they are reported.

There is also an issue with WP:COI. If you have something to add, please leave messages on the Talk Page at Talk:Disappearance of Corrie McKeague and we will source the information and cite it for you. Thank you and good luck.

Oh, and you can contact me at my talk page which is the blue link after my username. Regards.The joy of all things (talk) 10:12, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
