Disputing sourced information in articles
You removed some apparently appropriately-sourced information from the Kristina Train article and noted in your edit comments that the "source is not accurate." Do you have an alternative source, or are you basing the claim on personal knowledge? If you're personally or professionally connected to the article's subject, you might want to keep in mind the suggestions at WP:AUTO and consider raising future disputes on the article talk page, rather than simply making unsourced edits. I'm leaving the edit alone in this case because the information you removed (whether or not accurate) doesn't seem particularly important anyway; however, keep in mind that other editors have access to the same sources and could re-insert the same claims again -- so starting a discussion on the talk page might be a more permanent way of addressing the issue.

If you're not claiming a personal connection to the subject, I would recommend just keeping in mind in the future that other Wikipedia editors have little reason to take the word of a single editor over that of a publication that is known to do at least some fact-checking -- so you want to make sure you're citing your own sources (ideally independent of the article subject) if you're going to claim that other published information is inaccurate.

Thanks!

 * Actually, I'm overlooking the obvious, aren't I? If "MHAM" expands as I'm guessing, then of course you'd have reliable info...  However, if you haven't already, please do take a look at WP:COI.  You really shouldn't be making substantive changes to these pages without running it by others on the talk page first. 67.127.53.126 (talk) 21:12, 9 August 2010 (UTC)


 * I work with Kristina Train (Michael Hausman Artist Management), and while the info I changed isn't entirely inaccurate, it isn't correct either. Kristina asked me to make the changes, and I made them without thinking, and I should have consulted with the other editors.  I do apologize for that, but I hope you understand.
