Hello. I'm afraid you've fouled up a citation again. Until you've got more experience in dealing with wikimarkup, could you please not alter the references? Thank you. -- Skarl 19:52, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Majel Barrett's birthplace
If I might jump in: What I think you're trying to do is change Majel Barrett's birthplace in the article to Columbus, Ohio, citing as a source a conversation you had with her. Wikipedia has policies and guidelines as to what is a reliable source; Generally, unpublished personal conversations are not considered verifiable for Wikipedia purposes the way a newspaper article, like the one in the San Jose Mercury News giving her birthplace as Cleveland, Ohio.

If she was born in Columbus, we want to know that; However, to include it in the encyclopedia requires that it be cited to a reliable source, that is one that can be independently verified. Wikipedia is not a publisher of original research. If you'd like any help with sources or with writing a reference citation, please feel free to leave me a message. --SSBohio 01:22, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
