User talk:Lloydj2

Hello. I see you've edited the article John Lloyd (journalist), stating that its content was "inaccurate". Are you John Lloyd yourself, as your username would seem to indicate? If so, Wikipedia would value your input in making the article as accurate as possible. However, your edit has had unfortunate consequences. You have deleted all the sources contained in the article, and you have also deleted all the categories which are used to index articles. In addition, your version of the article is entirely unsourced, which means it cannot meet Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion. One of the cornerstones of Wikipedia policy is that the content of each article must be properly sourced, for verifiability. Otherwise the encyclopedia would be utterly unreliable. Please read this page on the inclusion of sources: Verifiability. For the time being, I'm simply going to restore the categories you inadvertently deleted. However, you need to provide verifiable sources for what you've written into the article. Otherwise you may be almost certain that editors will delete your contributions and restore the properly sourced version. Could you also point out what the inaccuracies were in the original article? If you'd like to reply to this, please do so here rather than below or on my talk page. Thank you, and I hope the end process of this, with your valued assistance, will be a reliable, accurate article. Aridd (talk) 19:48, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
