Hi. Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for working to improve the site with your edit to André LeBlanc, as we really appreciate your participation. However, Wikipedia cannot accept unsourced material or original research. This includes material lacking cited sources, material obtained through personal knowledge, or which constitutes the an analysis or interpretation by the editor that is not found in cited sources. Wikipedia requires that the material in its articles be accompanied by reliable, verifiable (usually secondary) sources explicitly cited in the article text in the form of an inline citation, which you can learn to make here. This is especially important for passages that mention a subject's accomplishment and qualities, like "his considerable artistic skill" or "Andre was an accompllished writer and reporter" and "His attention to detail, advanced illustration skills and meticulous pen and ink work were greatly admired by fans and colleagues alike." I have removed some of the unsourced material, and placed fact tags at the end of the unsourced passages still in the article. If citations are not added to the article within a month, that material will be removed.

Also, here some tips to help make your editing go more smoothly:


 * As an encyclopedia, material in Wikipedia must be written in a formal tone, which means, among other things, that we do not refer to the subjects of biographical articles by their given name, as indicated by WP:SURNAME.
 * Proper nouns like Fifth Avenue and Portuguese are capitalized.
 * Slang phrasing or shorthand should not be used. A location should not be given as "35th and 5th avenue", but "35th Street and Fith Avenue".
 * Be careful of "peacock terms" and phrases not directly relevant to the article subject, such as "the popular newspaper" or "legendary animator Alex Toth". See WP:PEACOCK for more on this.
 * Names of titles and locations like "St Francis of Assisi", "Huntington NY", "Long Island NY" and "NY/CT/NJ region" should generally not be abbreviated in the text of the article body. (Exceptions can be made for portions of articles where conciseness is needed more, such as tables.)
 * Sentences should end in only one period, not two.

If you ever have any other questions about editing, or need help regarding the site's policies, just let me know by leaving a message for me in a new section at the bottom of my talk page. Thanks. :-) Nightscream (talk) 03:39, 5 October 2013 (UTC)
