Jackson C. Frank
Hi Stanley! Welcome to Wikipedia! I recently reverted an edit you made to Jackson C. Frank, consisting of the following copy: "Addenda/correction - marriage date: Jack married Elaine Sedgwick on February 2, 1967 in a church in Elma, NY. I was there and played lute music for the processional (The Galliard for Queen Elizabeth by John Dowland) and the recessional (Kemp's Jig, anon.) at their request. I have confirmed the marriage date with the Elma Town Clerk. Richard Stanley" Wikipedia has a community policy against what is called "original research". In essence, information in Wikipedia must always originate in a published source, like a news article or another encyclopedia. Research you've done yourself, or events you've personally witnessed, are not in scope for the project.

I hope this hasn't put you off Wikipedia! For what it's worth, when I first started, it took me a little while to learn the norms of the community, and it was really frustrating for me. If you have any questions, I'm happy to help! Just leave them on my talk page.
