Your edits to Ann Aiken
I saw one edit of yours which looked like vandalism, and caused me to use the "rollback" tool which reverted all your edits. On looking at them, they were clearly not vandalism, so I have restored them. However, you have added a lot of material without citing any sources: please be aware that everything in Wikipedia must be verifiable from an independent, reliable source, and that this is particularly important in biographies of living persons. Please follow the links I have provided and read the policies and guidelines they point to; if you cannot provide sources for material you have added, it is likely to be removed.

 * As well as Verifiability, which is one of Wikipedia's three key content policies, I should have included pointers to the other two: Neutral Point of View and No Original Research. JohnCD (talk) 11:29, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I have since reverted all of the edits. Please note a very important policy - WP:BLP - as this person is a living person and the content was uncited, and it was most definitely not written from a neutral point of view. Do not re-add the content unless it is sourced to published, Wikipedia defined reliable sources, and is written from a neutral point of view. Also note that undue weight rules would also apply due to the shear size of your additions in regards to this person's entire career. Aboutmovies (talk) 16:06, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
