Hi there. I'm sorry you are bothered by the content of the article Misha Sedgwick. However, your comments can not be placed in the main article. Every article has an associated discussion page, which you can access by the "discussion" tab at the top of the page. For convenience, I will provide you a link here, Talk:Misha Sedgwick. You will also find a history there of discussion on the article.

One of wikipedia's principles is verifiability through reliable sources. Whether you agree or not, a published newspaper is considered a reliable source, while your claimed personal knowledge is not. I will also point out that another contributor to the article claims to have personal knowledge from the Sedgwick family that Misha is not related, and if we included your personal knowledge in the article, we would also have to include his, and the article would degenerate into truly nothing more than he said-she said gossip. The newspaper articles are at least an independent source.

I suggest that you contact the Post and ask them to print a retraction. If you can prove your case to them I'm sure they will (or if not, there are many other publications in NYC that would compete against the Post and would probably like a chance to catch them in a falsehood). If you can get a correction published in a reliable source then come back with the date and page number, and maybe a url, and we will support changing the article. Thatcher131 12:12, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
