Your assertion of false quotes and sources at the Christina Aguilera and Whitney Houston articles[edit]

Hello, NBJames. I noticed this edit and this one made by you. And that you discussed one of the matters at User talk:Roux/Archives/2012/June#Christina Aguilera Vocal Ability Section. I want to know are you certain that what you removed are false quotes and wrongly-attributed sources? When debating the Christina Aguilera quotes, you stated that you wanted visual evidence and that people can attribute false quotes to sources. But I must inform you that Wikipedia includes sources without url links all the time. Just because a source doesn't have a url link so that you can verify the text...it doesn't mean that the source is not accurately attributed. This is where we assume good faith on the part of the editor who added the material. The only way to check if such material is correct, unless obviously wrongly attributed (such as obvious vandalism), is to either find an online version of it or to go to a library and rent out the book so that you may read through it and verify if the text in the Wikipedia article is true or not. We generally don't remove sources simply because we think they may be falsely attributed.

That said, you are not the first to question that Whitney Houston source. Flyer22 (talk) 17:00, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

NBJames, also see what is stated in this link about your edits to these articles. I am waiting for your response. Flyer22 (talk) 20:23, 7 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
