Hello, I'm Hulmem. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Terry Kath, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. hulmem (talk) 23:14, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

Sorry for initially responding with just the canned response above. Let me clarify a little. Unfortunately, content added to Wikipedia must have a citation to a reliable, published source, that anyone can refer to and verify the information you added. Wikipedia attempts to provide factual information and we cannot just take an editor's word that they are who they say they are and they did what they say they did. Is there a reliable published source with this information? I hope so. I'd also caution against using non-encyclopedic wording (e.g., "lovingly restored") — see MOS:WTW — and self-promotion — see WP:NOTPROMOTION. — hulmem (talk) 23:33, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
