Sources in biography articles
Hello, I'm Ponyo. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person   on Mike Renzi, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Note that private interviews are considered original research and do not meet the independent reliable sources required for biographies. Thank you, -- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 23:31, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

As noted above, your changes are being reverted as they violate Wikipedia's policies regarding living persons. You cannot add material to biographies that is based on private research. Only information published in reliable sources can be added as personal knowledge is unverifiable.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 20:58, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

If you continue to add poorly sourced material to a biography article based on original research, you will be blocked from editing. If you are affiliated with Mike Renzi then you have a conflict of interest and should not be editing the article directly; instead you should use the article talk page to suggest changes as explained at WP:SELFPROMOTE.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 23:03, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Note that I have started a discussion regarding the poor sourcing and promotional nature of the article here if you would like to participate.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 23:13, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
