User talk:Nicol Jones

Hi, Nicol. Thanks for your comments on my talk page and your correction to the Robert McKimson page. Would it be possible for you to cite a source for your information? It's not that I don't believe you about your grandfather's dates; rather, Wikipedia has a verifiability and source citation policy. To prevent later contributors from changing the dates back, it would be nice if we had a source listed for your informaion. Even if it's a birth or death certificate, that should be fine. Thanks for your help. — BrianSmithson 08:35, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry, Nicol. I should have clarified. If you have personally seen the birth and death records, your word is as good as any other Wikipedia editor's. No one else needs to see the documents. However, in case someone challenges the information, it would be a good idea for you to go ahead and take a photograph of the marker when you get the chance and then upload it to Wikipedia.


 * I just checked the earliest version of the article (which I wrote), and my sources indicated birth and death dates of 1910–76. This would have been from That's All Folks! by Steve Schneider. Others have added the later information, based on who knows what sources. Just so you know where some of the misinformation ultimately stems from. Thanks again for your interest and contributions. — BrianSmithson 01:21, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
