Courtney Stodden
Hi. Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for working to improve the site with your edits to Courtney Stodden and Hanover, Maine, as we really appreciate your participation. However, the edits had to be reverted, because Wikipedia cannot accept unsourced material or original research. This includes material lacking cited sources, or obtained through personal knowledge or unpublished synthesis of previously published material. Wikipedia requires that the material in its articles be accompanied by reliable, verifiable (usually secondary) sources explicitly cited in the text in the form of an inline citation, which you can learn to make here. I'm sorry that this is coming so late after these edits; I had not discovered them until now.

In addition, here are some tips to make your editing go more smoothly:
 * As explained by WP:SURNAME, biographical subjects should generally not be referred to by their given name, as this breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Similarly, characterizations like "this child bride" should avoided in favor of simply using a subject's name.
 * Material that represents a personal point of view, such as the age-appropriateness of Stodden's tweets, should not be included in articles if it originates with the editor. If it originates with a reliable, secondary source, it should be attributed as such, as as aforementioned, supported with a citation.
 * Because Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a newspaper, dated time references should not be used, as indicated by WP:DATED. This includes referring to Dough Hutchison's current age, or how the controversy over his marriage has occurred "for the last eight months".
 * Proper nouns, such as the names of music videos, should be capitalized.

If you have any other questions about editing, or need help regarding the site's policies, just let me know by leaving a message for me in a new section at the bottom of my talk page. Thanks. :-) Nightscream (talk) 00:45, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
