Verifiability and policies related to living persons
Your efforts to improve the article Bates family are appreciated, but Wikipedia takes verifiability very seriously, especially when it relates to biographical content of living persons. You should not be adding personal information about living people without citing reliable sources for the information you add. I have hidden the child birthdates for which the article does not cite sources; please refrain from unhiding that content -- and please don't delete reference citations again (as happened in one recent edit).

As a general rule, the names and birthdates of young children would not be considered appropriate content for the encyclopedia, but since the Bates family has gotten wide publicity for their children, this may be encyclopedic content for that family. However, if you are interested in this family, note that there would be more value to Wikipedia from providing reliably sourced prose content about the family than there is from revealing the children's birthdates to the world. --Orlady (talk) 01:25, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

September 2012
Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to United Bates of America. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. ''The addition of unsourced content about living persons is of particular concern because it violates Wikipedia's policy on biographies of living persons. It is particularly disturbing to see the addition of details about minor children that could expose them to identity theft. Please stop! '' Orlady (talk) 16:44, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

November 2012
Please do not add or change content, as you did to United Bates of America, without verifying it by citing reliable sources. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. ''Please refrain from adding details about living persons (especially minor children) that is not supported by a citation to a reliable published source. You have been persistent in re-adding material -- why is this? '' Orlady (talk) 16:22, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
