Welcome!
Hello, Sleuthgirl, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits to the page Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller did not conform to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may have been removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations verified in reliable, reputable print or online sources or in other reliable media. Always provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.

 * I made a change to the article here that updated the source information for the "March 13" day of death. This way, the March 13 date has its associated sources, including an addition of a newspaper article from March 13 that states that she died that day. And then revised the note to say her date of birth is also shown as "March 18" with its associated sources. I hope that makes sense. Please feel free to leave a message if I can clear any questions you may have.


 * Basically, if you change information in an article, the source(s) needs to be updated.–CaroleHenson (talk) 14:27, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I literally called the clerk's office from the town she passed away in and the funeral home that handled her remains and got the date from them. If you want to verify it, feel free to call them as well.  The clerk's office number is (508) 532-5520 and the funeral home number is (617) 332-0047. She passed away in Cushing Hospital, Framingham on 13 Mar 1968 & was cremated at Newton crematorium on 16 Mar. 2600:8804:874E:6700:A5C6:C95D:EA08:E251 (talk) 16:49, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Apologies i think i misunderstood your message. I literally only made the account so i could fix her date of passing. 2600:8804:874E:6700:A5C6:C95D:EA08:E251 (talk) 16:51, 6 June 2023 (UTC)


 * I appreciate that you want to make the correction. Thanks for that!


 * In the future, please add a new source:
 * It makes the information in the article in-synch with the sources.
 * Provides a source for the specific change in the information.
 * (P.S. There are some articles that are not well-cited. In those cases, I still always change or add content with a source.)


 * FYI, Wikipedia is a tertiary source, where information is gleaned from published and edited sources - like books and newspapers - or websites with editorial review. The information that you are suggesting to be used is original research and not even published.


 * Good sources for dates of death are newspapers. I primarily use newspapers.com, but also Library of Congress newspapers, newspaper archives for my state, etc. Here's a list of newspaper sources and Wikipedia library is a good place to find newspaper and other sources. Glad to have you here!–CaroleHenson (talk) 21:56, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
