Advice
Hi, Simpson kid. I'm afraid I have had to undo your edits: Have a look at the links from the Welcome paragraph above, they will tell you more about contributing. Your First Article is a good one to read, and the list of Bad Article Ideas is worth reading, too.
 * anything added to Wikipedia needs to cite a reliable source, because of our policy of verifiability. That is particularly important where the information is about a living person - we have a special policy on WP:Biographies of living persons. So although you may personally know about Mr Woods' family, that's not a good enough basis for adding it to his article.
 * a person who is to be the subject of an article has to be notable, that is, interesting and important enough that other people have written about them, so that we can have reliable sources for the article. Also, an article really needs to be more than just a couple of lines.
