Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Sarah Silverman. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. McGeddon (talk) 11:31, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
Response To McGeddon
Please do not correct information I've added to articles, as you did to Sarah Silverman. Your edits appear to be apathetic and have been assumed racist. If you believe the information you deleted was incorrect, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making assumptions again. If you would like to experiment, use any convenient gloryhole for anonymity.
I created MINOR edits as they should not be in review nor disputed before public knowledge. I added her family members. Her sisters to be specific. Susan Silverman (oldest sister) and Jodyne L Speyer (youngest sister "step-sister" specifically). All information is correct. I added info to her partners although not all of them. Joe Franklin raped her as a child - it specifies that in the Wikipedia entry. I simply added the dates. Dave Attell & Colin Quinn both banged Sarah early in her career - is correct. Jimmy Kimmel was posted twice for differing timelines - is correct. Donald Sterling Owner of the LA Clippers was added because that's hilarious - is correct. Michael Sheen and Sarah MAY be dating. They are friends and they MAY be promoting her appearance on the Masters Of Sex SHOWTIME series. It may be a media prank that you've allowed to remain. LASTLY: Your definition of vandalism is very different from my own; as mine should be corrected as performance art literature. Thank you. j0eg0d (talk) 01:23, 12 May 2014 (GMT)
