Hello, I'm Theroadislong. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Andrew Donaldson (footballer, born 1884), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Wikis are not reliable sources. Theroadislong (talk) 15:03, 17 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your reply. I emailed a copy of his birth and death certificates to Tigraan earlier today so hopefully that those will be considered a reliable source. Janette Fellows (talk) 15:23, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid not we need independent sources NOT primary sources. Theroadislong (talk) 15:26, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I am puzzled by this. I have no idea who provided the incorrect date of birth that was published. Some of the references listed include the incorrect date of birth but others such as the Celtic wiki have the correct one. Can you tell me what is regarded as an independent source.

 * See Independent sources for help. Theroadislong (talk) 15:47, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I had read Independent sources before my last message to you. I understand the principles. As a family member I am not regarded as an independent source. I was asking if you could help me by suggesting how I could provide an independent source. I am his grandaughter and I have his birth certificate. All I am trying to do is correct a factual error. I stand to gain no benefit from trying to ensure his correct date of birth is recorded. How can I do this? Janette Fellows (talk) 16:41, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
