Reliable sources
I've undone your edit to Ed Gein because your grandmother can not be considered a reliable source as defined by WP:RS. Thanks, --Hammersoft (talk) 19:35, 22 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Let me add, for the sake of clarity, that we are not suggesting that your grandmother is in any way unreliable; only that Wikipedia editors must use information that other reliable sources have already published. We appreciate your attempt to improve the encyclopedia, and I hope that this does not discourage you from continuing to contribute.  If you can locate a published source that corroborates your grandmother's version of events, you are welcome to re-add the material and cite the source.  If you have any questions or need any help, please feel free to leave a message here, or on my talk page.  Cheers,  DoctorJoeE  review transgressions/ talk to me!  20:20, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

My source is Clifford Banks who found Henry Gein's body with hypodermic needle marks in his arms. There was no fire! Ed reported Henry missing and a search party. including my Great Uncle, Clifford Banks, was formed. My edit was 100% fact.


 * I'm sorry, but as DoctorJoeE has explained above other reliable sources have already published and published source is needed for the information to be inserted in the article. Please read WP:OR for further information. Regards, David J Johnson (talk) 21:16, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

Henry Gein
Hi Rusty - I thought you might be interested in a newspaper article that appeared at the time of Henry Gein's death. It appeared in the Wisconsin Rapids Daily Tribune, May 19, 1944, page 1, column 1: 'Rites Today For Man Who Died in Roche-a-Cri Fire Plainfield, Wis.- Funeral services were held here this afternoon for Henry Gein, 42, town of Plainfield farmer who died of a heart attack while trying to protect his farm from the ravages of a grass and brush fire.

Mr. Gein who lived on a farm in the Roche-a-Cri community -with his brother Edward and with their mother, Mrs. George Gein, was burning over their marsh Tuesday when the fire escaped control and required the emergency help of a crew of voluntary fire fighters. At day's end, with the fire under control, the men returned to their homes when it was discovered that Henry Gein had not come in with the others.

A searching party, with lanterns and flashlights, searched the burned over area and in the evening, sev- eral hours after the search began, found the dead body of Mr. Gein, ''lying face down. Apparently the man'' had been dead for some time when he was found, and it appeared that death was result of a heart attack, since he had not been burned or otherwise injured.

The services this afternoon will be at Goult funeral parlors in Plain- field, the Rev. Wisner, new Baptist minister at Plainfield, officiating. Burial will be in Plainfield ceme- tery.

Mr. Gein is survived by his moth- ''er and brother. He had lived all his'' life in the Plainfield community and was unmarried.

Interesting, huh? 32.218.45.136 (talk) 22:44, 22 July 2015 (UTC)
