25px Your recent edit {{#if:Derek Mears|to the page :Derek Mears}} appears to have added incorrect information and has been reverted or removed. All information in this encyclopedia must be verifiable in a reliable, published source. If you believe the information that you added was correct, please cite the references or sources or before making the changes, discuss them on the article's talk page. Please use the sandbox for any other tests that you may do and take a look at the welcome page, if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. {{#if:|{{{2}}}|Thank you.}} Leivick (talk) 22:20, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

:Hello, I noticed your [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Derek_Mears&diff=next&oldid=289975045 reversion of a revert declared vandalism] by another user. In it you say that the information you provided is easily verifiable. However, when someone challenges information you add to the article, you need to provide a citation yourself; you cannot simply say "go look it up" and change it back. Please provide a citation from a reliable source or your edit is likely to be reverted again. If you provide a citation, then anyone challenging it would need to find a citation to support their own viewpoint. Thank you and let me know if you have any questions.

:: Nevertheless, his contribution was not vandalism, and the user who reverted it was in the wrong in calling it such. Gurch (talk) 10:58, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

OK, I'll keep that in mind. Dark Rahn (talk) 17:22, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
