Welcome!
Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Your edits to the article for Mark Holmes (musician) have been reverted as they contradict the existing references cited in the article. Holmes' year-of-birth, for example, has been reported by multiple sources as being 1960, not 1966. His emigration date was also reported as being in 1977 by The Globe and Mail. Should you have references you can cite from reliable sources that support the dates you submitted, then you may wish to discuss them on the article's talk page. If the dates are in dispute, the article may require some rewording, but one should avoid simply changing information in an article that is supported by sources without some sort of discussion or rationale.

When it comes to biographies of living persons, it is of special importance that the information added to the article be verifiable to the reader. This is achieved by including citations from independent and reliable sources.

I might also surmise by your username that you may in fact be the subject of the article. If that is the case, you might also find the following guidelines to be useful:


 * Biographies of living persons: Dealing with articles about yourself
 * Autobiography: If Wikipedia already has an article about you.

You may wish to familiarize yourself with Wikipedia's conflict of interest guideline.

In effect, it would be preferable that you:


 * avoid editing articles about yourself, your family, friends, or clients.
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the request edit template);
 * disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.
