User talk:Ladyhales

April 2023
Hello, I'm Felida97. I noticed that you made a change to an article, David Bedford, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Felida97 (talk) 15:46, 10 April 2023 (UTC)


 * The source is myself nee Sara Pozzo. He was found guilty in Dec 1980 of sexually abusing me from the age of 13. I cannot give you the court record as it is locked for another 80 years but I can show you details from court case against Queens College recently which sites the abuse I suffered by this man. Will that do. Ladyhales (talk) 16:05, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi, thank you for your message, please let me explain the issue with your addition. Content on Wikipedia must be reliably sourced and claims must verifiable for other editors (please have a look at the two linked pages, WP:RS and WP:V, if you're not sure what that means in the context of Wikipedia). While your statement may be true (and you know it to be true), I or any other editor cannot verify whether it is. Even if I believe you, we cannot simply take your word for it (and other editors couldn't take my word for it, if you showed me proof without adding it as a source). I think you might understand why we cannot include information based on that (if someone would claim something untrue and similarly awful on the Internet about you, you probably wouldn't want that published on a popular website just based on that person's word).
 * I couldn't find anything regarding the alleged incident on the Internet. If you really believe this information should be included in Bedford's Wikipedia article and don't have a reliable, secondary source, you could potentially try to get it published in a reliable, secondary source (based on your non-public proof), for example, in a reputable newspaper. If such a source would publish it, we, as Wikipedia editors, would trust that they have fact-checked your claims and the information could then be included using this publication as a source. However, given the nature of the allegation, it would probably have to be a very reliable source known for rigorous fact-checking.
 * I hope that cleared things up. Please reply below if you have any further questions. Felida97 (talk) 08:23, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
 * A national newspaper is going to run an article so when it’s published I’ll send 2A00:23EE:1718:7041:496F:EF7:FC6A:1B2D (talk) 12:20, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
 * (I'm assuming you are Ladyhales and just forgot to sign in.) Sounds good! After it is published (and ideally accessible online), you can re-add the incident/conviction yourself, together with that source. Felida97 (talk) 18:33, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at David Bedford, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. 24.184.246.211 (talk) 16:01, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
