- Dear Tacyarg,
- Thank you for your vidulence- the added content has been learned from both speaking to immediate family and from youtube interviews- how and where do I state this so that the edits remain?
- Thank you for your warm welcome. Blobfishthegreat (talk) 11:34, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
- Hi, information from family isn't acceptable I'm afraid; you need independent, reliable, published sources. YouTube is acceptable if the channel is the official channel of a reliable source. You mention talking to family - if you know the subject of the article, you should not edit the article. You can request edits on the article's Talk page. See the conflict of interest guidance. Best wishes, Tacyarg (talk) 01:26, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
- I do not know the subject I have just been in contact with family. Blobfishthegreat (talk) 20:28, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

- Have a look at WP:YOURFIRSTARTICLE, but you may want to consider becoming familiar with editing through carrying out smaller edits first. If so, try the Guild of Copywriters. Tacyarg (talk) 01:26, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
