 * On the Grieves page, [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=613720036 your edit] caused a missing references list (help | help with group references) . ([ Fix] | [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Help_desk&action=edit&section=new&preload=User:ReferenceBot/helpform&preloadtitle=Referencing%20errors%20on%20%5B%5BSpecial%3ADiff%2F613720036%7CGrieves%5D%5D Ask for help])

✅I fixed this problem, and I thought I would drop you a quick note to explain why it happened so you can keep contributing to Wikipedia as effectively as possible.
 * In the body of the article, adding References like you did is a good thing. However, articles about people have a special section at the end called Persondata. It consists of standardized data fields with basic information about the person (name, short description, birth and death details) that can be extracted automatically and processed by cataloging tools and then used for a variety of purposes, such as providing advanced search capabilities, statistical analysis, and automated categorization. The information isn't meant to be read by human beings.  The information there should already be stated (and suitably referenced) in the body of the article, and references are not supported within the Persondata.
 * I hope this makes sense; good luck in your continued Wikipedia editing! --Gronk Oz (talk) 02:14, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
