Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living persons, as you did to Bruce Gary. Thank you. ''Your edit was unacceptable, because it was copied from a non-reliable source (http://www.one-stop-drums-info.com/legendary-drummers-g-i.html) and possibly incriminates living persons. See our policy on living people.'' Drmies (talk) 19:32, 7 June 2011 (UTC) Merry Stewart (talk) 19:59, 7 June 2011 (UTC) The information I posted was originally written by ME - no one else. If it's on another site, it was copied and edited from Wikipedia and from my own writing. I am a family member of Bruce Gary. No one mentioned in my edit is alive. They are ALL DEAD. Bruce Gary's mother and father are both DEAD. Everything I wrote is absolutely true and I am asking that you reinstate my writing. What else do you need in order for this to be verified?

Are you going to respond? I want the truth to be publicly shown on this site. My writing regarding the abuse and beatings of Bruce Gary by his alcoholic, drug-addicted parents is absolutely true and not nearly all of the sordid history of this talented musician who grew up with criminal abuse.

I expect that you will reinstate my writing. Please tell me what you need in order that this is verified and reinstated.

 * I hate to thwart your expectations, but there is no way I'm reinstating that information. It is unverified (whether it is true is of less concern than whether it can be verified--please see WP:V, and WP:RS for what counts as reliable sources) and its tone was far from encyclopedic. As for your claim that everyone involved is dead, I am not taking any chances. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 20:16, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

All you have to do is go to the Social Security Death Index and look up Helen Gary and Milton William Gary. Helen died in October 2010, Milton William died in 2005. They're dead. How else would you like me to verify this information? I am the reliable source. I was there. Merry Stewart (talk) 20:20, 7 June 2011 (UTC) Merry Stewart (talk) 20:29, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Please look at WP:RS. You are not listed there, nor is any other person. Besides, there might be other living relatives who could take offense at this: "Gary finally fled from the torturous physical, psychological and mental abuse as well as the daily beatings he received in the violent home of his abusive, alcoholic, drug-addicted mother and rage-filled father". This is simply not acceptable without an unimpeachable source. Drmies (talk) 20:23, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Well...I guess you have the power, don't you. Other living relatives don't concern me. None ever stepped up to protect Bruce when he was being tortured and beaten. Other living relatives only wanted him around when he was a pop star. Otherwise, he was shunned. So - the truth doesn't matter on this site. Too bad. I won't push it because you have your own agenda. Shame on you.
 * I do have my own agenda: WP:V. Drmies (talk) 20:30, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
