Citations?

{{helpme}} How am I doing for citations now? Randomtox (talk) 18:57, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have no idea what you mean. Gtstricky^{Talk or C} 19:04, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not looked in deep, but they're at least aesthetically correct. — neuro^(talk) 19:23, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

{{helpme}} Sorry I forgot to mention that the page I'm referring to is John Dunsworth. Sorry I'm new to all this. :P Randomtox (talk) 19:45, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, looks good to me. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP)} 19:48, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your citations are good, and pretty well organized... the only thing I would recommend (as I did in one of my edit summeries of that article) is if you could find a good generalized bio of him somewhere to verify birthdate, education, etc... - Adolphus79 (talk) 19:52, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, but after an entire day of searching, this was all I could find about the man. Not even a birth date. I will try to keep looking, but everything I find pretty much says the same thing as what I wrote. Randomtox (talk) 20:31, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Therein lies the problem, one of Wikipedia's primary policies is verifiability... We need reliable sources cited for any information that may be included in an article... Not being able to find any biographical information on him means that most of the information could be (but is not necessarily) grossly incorrect... The article, and it's sources are not bad enough to be deleted immediately, but without those references, someone may question it in the future... - Adolphus79 (talk) 21:05, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well I can at least find a citation to verify the place and the 'year' of his birth, but apart from that, the exact date I will have to find out some other way. I know his daughter and co-star is on the official Trailer Park Boys forum, she might tell me... although I dunno how that would help... heh :P Randomtox (talk) 03:56, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
