John McDermott (artist)
Hi, MNassau. Thanks for helping to improve the bio of John McDermott. Your efforts are very much appreciated. However, please note that the core Wikipedia policy of Verifiability requires that information in biographies be referenced to independent reliable sources. (That means previously published in, for example, magazines, books, journals or newspapers.) Therefore, I needed to remove some of the specifics that you added about McDermott's childhood. If you have access to published sources which might corroborate any info, then great -- please do add them. Otherwise, I'm afraid, the information cannot be used. If you wish to discuss anything about editing on Wikipedia, I'll be happy to help in any way that I can. Cheers. — Cactus Writer (talk) 23:42, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
