Welcome to Wikipedia. Please be aware of Wikipedia's policy that biographical information about living persons must not include unsupported or inaccurate statements. Whenever you add possibly controversial statements about a living person to an article or any other Wikipedia page, as you did to Gerry Connolly, you must include proper sources. If you don't know how to cite a source, you may want to read Referencing for beginners for guidelines. Thank you. ''Blogs are not considered reliable sources. Please source to a reliable source if re-added. '' ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 16:49, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Hello ConcernedVancouverite. I think that you have no reason to revert my additions. My sources include the Huffington Post and the Washington Post. If those aren't reliable, then I don't know what would be. I did include a Politico blog for a statement about the district. This is not controversial and you have no reason to remove it, let alone remove it along with the other sources. Please see BLP:RS for living persons if you are unsure of the policy. As you may be aware, it is unethical for users with an interest in the subject to remove RS. I don't necessarily think that you are Mr. Connolly, but I would be shocked if you didn't have any sort of skin in the game.
 * I am going to re-insert my changes and please discuss on the talk page if you have any problems with my reliable sources backing up the material. TheRealMolder (talk) 21:07, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living persons, as you did to Gerry Connolly. Thank you. ''We're talking about citations here -- Oblique references to Washington Post stories that don't even reference Mr. Connolly aren't an excuse to post unsourced political hits. In addition to WP:RS I would suggest that you take a look at WP:OR and WP:COATRACK'' Arbor8 (talk) 23:10, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
