Recent edits to Dick Donato
Welcome, and thank you for your attempt to lighten up Wikipedia. However, this is an encyclopedia and the articles are intended to be serious, so please don't make joke edits as you did to Dick Donato. Readers looking for accurate information will not find them amusing. If you'd like to experiment with editing, try the sandbox, where you are given a good deal of freedom in what you write. Thank you! JacobiJonesJr (talk) 02:09, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

Jacobi Jones Jr. here is a list of sources that support the evidence I put in that page. http://emptylighthouse.com/couples-therapy-s5-ep3-dr-jenn-vs-nikki-jenna-535579288 https://twitter.com/EvelDick https://www.facebook.com/happyhollywoodblog/posts/389020244585393

How many more sources do you want. I feel it is a slap in the face to be putting out true information and having somebody like you come and delete it. I believe that people need to know the mechanism of this disease so they don't make the same mistake Dick did. I would suggest doing a little research next time before you delete somebody else's work. Thank you!Matthoward01571 (talk) 15:00, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
 * The point is that it's up to you to add sources to what you add to the article. It's not for others to look at an edit and work out if it's true or not, you should already have provided that evidence.  This is even more true where the article concerned is a biography of a living person and there is strict policy  - WP:BLP - which states "All quotations and any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be explicitly attributed to a reliable, published source, which is usually done with an inline citation. 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".  When you first made the change you didn't include your source so Jacobi was quite correct in removing the information and you'll see in his edit summary that he beleived your edits were good faith but not in compliance with policy.  Once you re-added the information with a source there is no issue. Nthep (talk) 15:11, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
