From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome to Wikipedia! I see that you have added a lot of content already. But please be aware that Wikipedia requires all information to be verifiable, that is, you should always cite the sources that you are relying on, especially when writing about living persons.

Thank you for your mail. An "unsourced" tag doesn't imply that the article is incorrect, only that it lacks references which enable the reader to verify the information quickly. (If it is clear that information is incorrect, it should be removed right away instead of just marking it with a tag.) Thanks also for searching those web pages and adding them to the References section in Andrew Knight, that improves the situation definitely. However, the "unsourced" tag calls for sources which are specifically covering the facts mentioned in the article, not just any reliable publication which mentions the artice's subject.

I have edited the article Andrew Knight to add some specific sources and correct errors (in part using the links that you provided), and now I think the global "unsourced" tag is no longer needed, although some facts are still lacking references.

Please do not copy text verbatim from sources, as you did with [1] and [2], as this means infringing other people's copyright in most cases.

Also, be careful not use pages like this from Answers.com as a reference - that was just a copy of the corresponding Wikipedia article, so it is not a reliable source.
