1) Please don't modify the existing Use DMY dates tag in any article, it's against policy.

2) If it is indicated to you that a citation must be independent, as in the Graeme K. Talboys article, it is no good edit-warring a subject's own website back again, that can get you blocked as a disruptive editor. Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:05, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

Look, I'm not particularly computer savvy. I hadn't realised I was doing these things; I was simply trying to provide an accurate entry after the original had been gutted. Quite how people are meant to find citations for things like the school they attended and the qualifications they received other than the individual's own, public website, I don't know.

 * Thanks for the reply. If it doesn't happen again, no harm will be done. This is not really a matter of computer skills, more a question of familiarising yourself with the core policies of Wikipedia. Finding reliable sources is always a challenge; we quite often have to leave apparently true things out (such as people's dates of birth and schooling) for want of verifiable evidence. That is the nature of a global encyclopedia which anyone can edit: everything must be demonstrably true, or else people could make things up, as they have often tried to in the past. By the way, if you have any connection to the subject of the article, please be aware of Wikipedia's policy on conflict of interest. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:29, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
