Re: Joan Crawford - The usual method of asking for sources is not to undo an edit, but to ask for sources to be added in order to back up the addition to the article. As such, I undid your revision and rewrote what I added to include sources for the comments relating to her birth. Likewise with her boxoffice receipts for films leading up to the so-called box office poison label, I have researched this subject VERY thoroughly and all box office stats are in my possession from the Eddie Mannix Ledger, which is in print and can also be accessed in its original form at the NY Library for the Performing Arts as well as at the Academy of Arts and Sciences Library in LA.{{unsigned|Tal1962}} |

:Hi Tal, |
|||
:I encourage you to improve the article. However, you ''must'' include a full citation for the content you are adding, and remove sources for content which no longer verify what you've replaced. It's not possible for other editors to verify much of what you've written on the article without relevant page numbers for books. [[Wikipedia:Bare URLs|Bare URLs]] like http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=mp0fAAAAIBAJ&sjid=gdUEAAAAIBAJ&dq=joan%20crawford%20television&pg=858%2C6180927 will eventually go dead. Sourcing to fan sites needs to be avoided whenever possible, per [[WP:SOURCE]]. Include ISBNs for books whenever possible. I'd be glad to help you format the content correctly (that's easy), but you can't rely on other editors to add page numbers to incomplete citations... ''you'' must provide them. There's no way any editor is going to go through your [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Joan_Crawford&diff=531705011&oldid=531019702 38 consecutive edits] on that article and try to re-source what you've already written. Statements like "Charles Kidd, in Debrett Goes to Hollywood, also says Lucille was probably born in 1904." need sources. You added "Her older siblings were Daisy LeSueur, born in 1901 and died in 1904", but included no ''new'' source, leaving in the old source: does ''Abilene Landmarks: An Illustrated Tour'' truly verify what you wrote? In short, there are problems with your added material, although I don't doubt much of it is 100% accurate. Other editors must be able to verify the content. <font color="#0000FF">[[User:Firsfron|Firsfron of Ronchester]]</font> 01:12, 7 January 2013 (UTC) |

I'd be glad to help you format the content correctly (that's easy), but you can't rely on other editors to add page numbers to incomplete citations... you must provide them. There's no way any editor is going to go through your 38 consecutive edits on that article and try to re-source what you've already written. Statements like "Charles Kidd, in Debrett Goes to Hollywood, also says Lucille was probably born in 1904." need sources. You added "Her older siblings were Daisy LeSueur, born in 1901 and died in 1904", but included no new source, leaving in the old source: does Abilene Landmarks: An Illustrated Tour truly verify what you wrote?
