Renaissance fair
Hey. I just saw your contribution to the Renaissance fair article. While your addition is fine, it's unsourced, and can be construed as original research. On Wikipedia, the text in articles needs to be verified by outside sources. If you could perhaps dig up some sources to match the claims made in your edits, that'd be great. Feel free to ask me if you need help adding the references in. Thanks! &mdash;  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 22:52, 8 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Okay. First off, stop copying text from other articles and pasting it into Renaissance Pleasure Faire of Southern California. The History section of that article should be just about the SoCal faire, and nothing else. Perhaps we should add in some text about how it's been the basis for other faires, but not to the extent of what you're doing. The article has a certain scope; please maintain that. &mdash;  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 23:04, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi. Sorry, I'm new to Wiki-editing (obviously). The material I am editing has to do with what myself and my parents have done. It's first-hand family history. Please let me know how to go about these changes properly if the references involved are first-hand knowledge. Oh, and thanks for your guidance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Susidhe (talk • contribs) 23:09, July 8, 2008


 * Well... now we're talking about a different story. See, you're a conflict of interest editor because you're personally involved, so you need to be very careful of your edits. &mdash;  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 23:10, 8 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Makes sense, but could you clarify then. I cannot list the actually names, dates, places, etc. of the things that my parents and I have done, because we are ourselves? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Susidhe (talk • contribs) 23:13, July 8, 2008


 * First, please sign by writing four tildes after your comments ( ~ ). Next: it depends what you're going to add. The ren fair page shouldn't be a place to list what you've done, because that's potentially adding undue weight, and the text may not maintain a neutral point of view. So really, I can't really say one way or anything if it's okay to add what you will, until you actually add it. Going back to what I originally said, all of the text on the page should be verifiable. Aside from asking you firsthand about it, additions really should be covered by a secondary source. &mdash;  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 23:24, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
