Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Minicraft, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! — | Gareth Griffith-Jones | The Welsh Buzzard| — 18:14, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

Hello Bugfroggy, thank you for your efforts to improve this article. But information about living people must be based on reliable secondary sources (for example reputable news media, books and journal publications from topic experts, etc.) - see WP:BLP. I have reverted your addition, but please feel free to re-add it, if you can provide such a high-quality source for the information. Please see WP:RS for more information about reliable sources.

Hi GermanJoe. Thank you but I would like to point out the source provided is the California Birth Index, which is a government controlled database. With that said, the link provided may be a third party provider (I could not verify). Would a more reputable provider such as https://myheritage.com/ or https://ancestry.com/ be more desirable in this case? I've cited four other sources here. ^{[1] [2] [3] [4]} Bugfroggy ( talk) 02:37, 27 June 2018 (UTC)

I read through WP:BLP and seems I misunderstood what "secondary sources" means. Thanks! Bugfroggy ( talk) 02:41, 27 June 2018 (UTC)
