If the information is not updated, you update it by writing in a line about his retirement. I suppose under your current reasoning we should remove all of our information on any person's article who has retired from their profession? If you choose not to revert yourself on the article I will seek administrative assistance.  Gloss •  talk  03:12, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

Why are you picking a fight with me? I am new here and just trying to accurately update the article. You could try being helpful and offer proposed edit, rather than just reverting it.
 * What you fail to see if that you're picking the fight by continuously reverting to a version of the article where you have removed content. You removed information and did not provide a source for the information you added. You must find a reliable source to back up your claim and stop removing content.

Fine, whatever. I don't need to waste my time here. I thought I could be helpful and update an article with new information. Guess it is preferable to have inaccurate information than to make a change.
 * You're welcome to make the change if you provide a source to back the information up with.  Gloss •  talk  03:38, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

What source? There is no press release about it. But it is true and is not a point of contention, there is nothing hidden or exceptional, he just retired.
 * How do you know it's true if you have no source to confirm it? This is an encyclopedia and that is an article on a biography of a living person which needs to be taken extra special care of.  Gloss •  talk  03:47, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

I was there when he said he was retiring. Upon reflection, I see your point of taking extra care to keep biographies accurate and actually appreciate the effort you are making to insure accuracy. However, I don't think that there is any actual written source to reference. If one person's word is not sufficient, then I suppose the original article will just have to remain unchanged. Seems like that policy will lead to a lot of stale information though.
