Edits to McFly members
Hi tanstewie, and welcome to wikipedia. Good to see you editing McFly pages. However, I would like to make sure you are aware that one of the five pillars of wikipedia is that all information must be verifiable, have reliable sources, and above all, be notable. There have been several people adding detail about girlfriends and such to the McFly pages, but it is unlikely that it is truly notable. Also note that Wikipedia guidelines for biographies of living persons state that all potentially contentious material (such as about parents cheating, flings with Kelly Osbourne, etc) must in particular be verifiable - all information must be right, and without sources, such information cannot really be kept in an article.

If you have sources to back up your assertions, I encourage you to add them to the articles, as an encyclopaedia is only ever as good as its references. Such an effort was made on the main McFly page, and thus all information on that page is properly sourced.

Thankyou for listening, if you have any problems, please feel free to leave a message on my talk page. Happy editing! -mattbuck (Talk) 00:00, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
