User talk:Ptoddjohnson

November 2022
Hello, I'm Toddst1. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person   on Steve Fossen, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. WP:DOB is one of the more serious areas of WP:BLP.

Steve Fossen confirmed his birthday on his Facebook page with a reply thanking his amp supplier Ampeg for birthday wishes posted on 11/15. Ptoddjohnson (talk) 01:40, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

Please stop adding unreferenced or poorly referenced biographical content, especially if controversial, to articles or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at Steve Fossen. Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory or violations of personal privacy and is in violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. ''Reliable sources go in the article, not vague allusions to them in edit summaries. They are always required for WP:DOBs.'' Toddst1 (talk) 01:41, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
