I only updated my arrested record and changed my year of birth because it was wrong, it said 1973 but I was born in 1977, I can provide proof.

I have just added facts that are true and accurate.

Thanks AbuHaleemaShakil ( talk) 18:30, 23 June 2024 (UTC) reply

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Abu Haleema, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. AntiDionysius ( talk) 18:34, 23 June 2024 (UTC) reply

I am Abu Haleema, I can provide proof, I was born in 1977 not 1973. All I've done is updated facts which are true AbuHaleemaShakil ( talk) 18:35, 23 June 2024 (UTC) reply

The point is that things on Wikipedia need to be attributed to a reliable source. That source can't be just your own personal knowledge; it needs to be something published somewhere. AntiDionysius ( talk) 18:39, 23 June 2024 (UTC) reply

if the article is about me and I am correcting my date of birth how is that not a reliable source. And updating my arrest record to show my terrorism conviction I can provide proof from BBC articles and other news outlets that reported it AbuHaleemaShakil ( talk) 18:41, 23 June 2024 (UTC) reply

If you can provide those articles, that would be great, and I would be happy to update the article to reflect the information in them.

But you cannot be a source yourself. Like I said, Wikipedia is based on published sources, not on the personal knowledge of editors. If you click on the links I provided it will explain why. AntiDionysius ( talk) 18:43, 23 June 2024 (UTC) reply

Here is an article from the independent about my terrorism conviction in 2021 which also says I was 43 when the article was written which confirms my year of birth as 1977 AbuHaleemaShakil ( talk) 18:50, 23 June 2024 (UTC) reply

i can send you a photo of birth certificate and driving license, I don't have a passport, it was seized in April 2014, that part of the article is correct about me AbuHaleemaShakil ( talk) 18:39, 23 June 2024 (UTC) reply

The problem isn't verifying your identity. The problem is "I know because it's me" isn't a source we can accept on Wikipedia. AntiDionysius ( talk) 18:41, 23 June 2024 (UTC) reply

So what is the reliable source that says I was born in 1973? That is a blatant lie, I was born in 1977 AbuHaleemaShakil ( talk) 18:42, 23 June 2024 (UTC) reply

You are correct to note that it's not sourced, so I will remove it from the article. AntiDionysius ( talk) 18:44, 23 June 2024 (UTC) reply

so it's ok to lie about me because I'm a convicted terrorist? AbuHaleemaShakil ( talk) 18:42, 23 June 2024 (UTC) reply

I have just tried to copy paste a BBC article about my terrorism conviction in 2021 which also says that I was 43 when the article was written but apparently it won't let me. AbuHaleemaShakil ( talk) 18:46, 23 June 2024 (UTC) reply

Here is another article my terrorism conviction which says I was 43 at the time it was written which confirms 1977 as the year I was born AbuHaleemaShakil ( talk) 19:10, 23 June 2024 (UTC) reply

I've just edited it with sources this time.

Is that okay? AbuHaleemaShakil ( talk) 21:04, 23 June 2024 (UTC) reply

and the sources I have cited say I was 43 at the time those articles were published (July 2021) which ties in with my year of birth being 1977. Can you update as well please? AbuHaleemaShakil ( talk) 21:08, 23 June 2024 (UTC) reply
