Steve Lukather
I understand that you're here making edits to Steve Lukather's article as his publicist, but you should be aware that Wikipedia requires high-quality sources for information added to articles such as Lukather's, which is a biography of a living person as well as a Featured article. You addition of personal information such as his children, and his side band performing at the Baked Potato, are unsourced and I've removed them. I've deliberately omitted details on Lukather's children because they are not related to his notability and he generally make a point not to mention them in interviews. -- Laser brain  (talk)  18:51, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

Luke requested these changes himself - including mentioning his children. We would like this to stand please. We work in management. --- skhmusic


 * That's irrelevant. Please read what I wrote, and review Verifiability and Identifying reliable sources. We have standards here and you'll have to edit within those standards regardless of what the subject of the article is asking for. -- Laser brain  (talk)  19:20, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

So I have to find an article where Luke mentions all four of his children to post that info? Makes no sense.


 * Yes. It makes no sense because you're not bothering to read anything I'm trying to show you. If you continue to make unsourced edits, your editing privileges may be revoked. -- Laser brain  (talk)  20:35, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

Why did you take out the side project? I linked to it! Might be helpful for you to actually help me here rather than continue to erase what I've done. Also - him having four children is a fact - i don't understand why that needs to be footnoted.


 * Hi, I've repaired the side project mention (the citation template was incomplete and had an error). I know his children are a fact, but we have a policy of being very strict when it comes to articles about people. Everything has to have a citation. I'm sure you can understand why we would not want to be in the business of presenting facts about people's personal lives without a reliable source cited. -- Laser brain  (talk)  19:15, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
