Your edits to Lee Miller
As you have a new account I decided to drop you a note to welcome you to Wikipedia, and to explain why I reverted one of your recent edits to the Lee Miller article and modified another edit.

Your second edit changed "Lee Miller was born on April 23, 1907, in Poughkeepsie, New York"

to "Lee Miller was born on April 23, 1907, in 40 S Clinton St, Poughkeepsie, New York"

I reverted this for the following reasons:


 * 1) The new fact is unreferenced, so it cannot be checked. See Verifiability.
 * 2) In my opinion, giving the full street address of her birthplace is unnecessary detail for an encyclopaedia entry. This is just my opinion, and I am nobody special on Wikipedia. If you disagree then I suggest you raise it on talk:Lee Miller.
 * 3) You put the street address inside the double square-brackets. This syntax is to link to another Wikipedia article. There is no page named 40 S Clinton St, Poughkeepsie, New York, so the link shows in red. It's often ok to add unresolved links, and they amount to a request that someone creates a new article on this topic. However, there will never be an article on this building unless it can be established that it is notable – see Notability.

Your first edit put the same information in the childhood_home field of the infobox for Lee Miller. This field is not currently displayed, but it might be in the future. I was in two minds about reverting this, but decided to leave the street address here. I moved the square brackets to make the wikilink work, and added the   marker.

Please don't be discouraged by my changes to your edits, and continue contributing to Wikipedia. Verbcatcher (talk) 00:02, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
