User talk:Nancybourdain

Welcome
Hello, Nancybourdain, 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 have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and have been reverted. 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.

There is a page about the verifiability policy that explains the policy in greater detail, and another that offers tips on the proper ways of citing sources. If you are stuck and looking for help, please 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: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on. Again, welcome! Toddst1 (talk) 13:26, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

regarding edits to Tony's biography
Assuming that you are in fact Nancy Bourdain, Anthony Bourdain's ex-wife, I just wanted to extend my warmest welcome to you and to try and explain why some of your edits have been reverted by others. When making edits to a subject you are close to, it may be considered a conflict of interest, and is governed by additional strictures. I urge you to read the linked policy. More importantly, the ultimate rule regarding whether content is included or not in Wikipedia is not truth, but verifiability. What does that mean? Don't add information without providing a reliable source that verifies the facts. Hearsay and personal anecdote are not an acceptable form of verification, especially when what you say is contradicted by reliable sources. Van Tucky  talk 17:57, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
