Joseph Medawar
Hi, Maryslucie. I've reverted your removal of sourced material from the Joseph Medawar article. While the quote from Template:BLP_sources is correct and unsourced claims should be removed, the information was sourced from multiple sources. You did have a point about the "convicted financial criminal" in the lead paragraph, as that sentence did not have a citation. It was obviously cited lower in the article (which you removed in the next edit), but it was a big claim to make without providing a cite in the same sentence. I've fixed that by reusing a cite that talks about his re-sentencing.

Interestingly, you seem to have skipped over quite a few claims in that biography that were completely unsourced (though flattering) in order to remove the sourced, unflattering claims. I've fixed that, as well, by removing unsourced claims. A more full quote (from WP:BLP)is: "Contentious material about living persons (or, in some cases, recently deceased) that is unsourced or poorly sourced – whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable – should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion". Thanks for trying to keep an eye out for WP:BLP issues on Wikipedia. Stesmo (talk) 00:25, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
