David Graeber
Welcome to Wikipedia, Margeryanne. Thank you for your edit to David Graeber but unfortunately I've had to undo it for now. All Wikipedia articles must be verifiable to reliable, published sources. This is especially important with biographies, and in this case the source we have (an interview with Graeber in that) says born in 1961 to working-class Jewish parents in New York. I have no reason to disbelieve you when you say that you know that his father was not Jewish, but I hope you can appreciate that since we have no way of verifying you are who you say you are, we can't take publish that based on your word for it alone. Do you happen to know of any published reliable sources that we could use to correct this information? Thanks, –&#8239;Joe (talk) 09:59, 11 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Hello, thank you for explaining why my edits can't be published yet. I am checking to see if there's a verifiable record I can submit. Would a marriage certificate be acceptable? 2601:1C0:4C82:3340:0:0:0:D4CA (talk) 20:59, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Not really, unfortunately... that's not a "published source" that anyone can access. Something like a biography of or interview with Graeber? –&#8239;Joe (talk) 06:26, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
