Hi GiantSnowman,

Please elaborate on what is considered a reliable source. Someone has created this page about my son using unreliable sources. Personal information has been incorrectly cited which could prove detrimental to my son's career.

I can provide a birth certificate proving the information currently cited is incorrect but cannot work out how to attach it because Wikipedia is not easy to navigate.

Any future queries about Cedwyn Scott can be directed to either myself, or his father, DarkBlueScott (who has also unsuccessfully attempted to correct the inaccuracies)

Thank you Onlygirl inthehouse (talk) 13:05, 16 June 2018 (UTC)

Hello, I'm GiantSnowman. I noticed that you made one or more changes to an article, Cedwyn Scott, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

 * Please see WP:RS regarding reliable sources. If this is your son you should not be editing as that is a conflict of interest, please see WP:COI. Perhaps you could contact one of the websites used to cite the older DOB and see if they will change it? GiantSnowman 13:11, 17 June 2018 (UTC)

On the contrary GiantSnowman, we as his parents, are the best editors of the page about Cedwyn because we know facts and truths and are not wholly reliant on incorrectly written articles. With your legal background you will fully appreciate the importance of factually correct information.

Publishing something seemingly trivial as an incorrect birthdate could prove very costly to the career of someone who works within the parameters of an age group but despite us knowing the truth and attempting to rectify the error, you kept reverting to the incorrect information based on a factually incorrect article.

Wikipedia is potentially a dangerous platform with anyone able to post and edit pages with factually incorrect information but because someone believes an incorrect article over the subject's own parents (and yes I am aware anyone could claim to be someone's parent) it remains as truth on a publicly accessible forum.

 * Respectfully - 1) we didn't know you are his parents and 2) I'm not sure decent agents/clubs are recruiting players based on what Wikipedia says about them...but whatever, it seems the DOB issue has been resolved. GiantSnowman 16:33, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
