Hey OfficeBoy :). Thanks for your edit to this article - do you have any reference backing up the statement about his marriage? Ironholds ( talk) 20:43, 5 October 2013 (UTC)
By the way: Most of the sources give his middle name as Brodrick instead of Broderick.
Greetings, OfficeBoy.
Hi and thanks for locating middle names in the Homer Davenport article, but can you tell me the source you used to find them? The source we have in there doesn't verify the info and as Homer Davenport is a featured article, we have to verify EVERYTHING. So if you could, pop by that talk page (or answer here) and let me know the source. Montanabw (talk) 21:24, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current
Arbitration Committee election. The
Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia
arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose
site bans,
topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The
arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to
review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on
the voting page. For the Election committee,

Did you attempt a legitimate (sourced) edit in the Peg Entwistle article, or was your mention of 1888 and the USS YALE meant as something else? Peg Entwistle was not yet born in 1888, and she never sailed on the YALE. This is clearly shown and sourced in the Ellis Island Foundation records and a biography detailing her family and their arrival to America. The edit you attempted has been reverted. 169.232.212.171 ( talk) 06:31, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

Are you serious? Hit Ctrl+F on this very talk page and you'll find previous instances where you've been told Find a Grave isn't reliable. Numerous editors have referred you to Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources, and if you Ctrl+F on that page, you'll find that Find a Grave is marked red for "generally unreliable", because it is user generated. You need to abide by our sourcing policies and practices while you're here on en.wiki. It's not optional.
