GEORGE LEE ROBINSON, you are invited on a Wikipedia Adventure!
 The Adventure

October 2015
Hello, I'm Corkythehornetfan. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person   on Sonny James, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! Corkythe hornetfan  22:58, 30 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Corky - I understand the guidelines however anything written on Sonny James by me is first hand eyewitness information. Our vocal group worked with Sonny starting in 1964 and to this day I do things for him. I cannot refer to a book or sources other than myself for the information I posted. It is accurate to a "T" but I have hesitated to link my birth name to it as I feel that would be way too self-serving. My oldest son is a website developer and we have designed and maintain his website - www.sonnyjames.com. I also work silently with Richard Custer who has posted over 600 of Sonny's singles on youtube. In addition I work behind the scenes with Terry Dillard who maintains Fans of Sonny James on facebook. Sonny is now 87 years old and entering that time of life and those of us that love him are just trying to place his legacy out there for all to see. I didn't save the piece I wrote on the Southern Gentlemen - can it be retrieved and re-posted. ...George Lee Robinson


 * Unfortunately, anything that is "first hand eyewitness information" falls within the scope of original research. Users cannot rely upon their own knowledge; they need to be able to cite published sources to back up the information, and preferably the sources should be independent.


 * Also, because you're working on the Sonny James website, you have a conflict of interest. Worse, unless you are working on a strictly volunteer basis, you have a paid conflict of interest; you must disclose paid conflicts of interest, including who your employer is. If you're accepting pay to edit his Wikipedia article, please say so in a reply here, and I'll give you details on what you need to disclose. —C.Fred (talk) 13:53, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

Fred - I overstated. I don't work for Sonny or receive remuneration of any kind. My services to him are volunteer and out of love for the man. Sonny's website was given to him as a gift 10 years ago from my oldest son, who is a professional website developer. I am glad there is a wall to keep misinformation or biased information from all articles. Would it be acceptable to reference Sonny's website as a source? George Lee Robinson
