[edit] BLP and sourcing

If you are going to add content such as this, it must be very solidly sourced according to the Wikipedia policy Biographies of living people. That kind of accusation leaves Wikipedia vulnerable to libel charges. Do not re-add that material without having rock-solid sources. If you have any questions, please leave a message on my talk page. – Dreadstar † 06:35, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your tip about adding content (re: Dennis Gallagher). I'm confused though; what I wrote is not biased, controversial.....it is fact based on media reports and factual events that have taken place. Should I add a source? Is that what you are implying that I should do?—Preceding unsigned comment added by Jagejamesh (talk • contribs) 10:50, 4 August 2007
Thanks for the great question, Jagejamesh! Yes you definintely need to supply sources for content in Wikipedia, especially when presenting negative information about a WP:BLP. Another editor did that very thing: [1], so the content can stay. Without a reference, it appears that Wikipedia is saying that about the person, and if it's incorrect info...they could sue Wikipedia. We just need to be careful! Also, try not to add too much content on that one issue, we don't want it to become an attack article..so read through WP:UNDUE.
Read through all of these articles, they are cornerstones for content in Wikipedia:
