Welcome!

Hello, Melnickmx, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits to the page Peter Rodgers Melnick have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may be removed if they have not yet been. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. As well, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Sourcing material
I don't know how familiar you are with Wikipedia's rules, but especially in the case of articles about living people ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons ), everything has to be sourced - there has to be a reliable ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:RS ), verifiable ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acceptable_sources#Sources ) source, such as a newspaper, news or government web site, book, etc., that states the information. Even if you have first hand knowledge or experience, you have to use a source. In fact, people aren't supposed to contribute to articles about themselves because of potential bias.

So if you want something to stick on WP, find a good source. I did a quick lit search, and couldn't find one for that statement. Not yet anyway. Welcome to WP... Smm201`0 (talk) 12:09, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
