Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Gibbs (surname), it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Philipnelson99 (talk) 20:36, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Gibb. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Philipnelson99 (talk) 20:52, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did on Gibb. This violates Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Binksternet (talk) 06:55, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

Gibb/Gibbs of England

Do you wish me to cite all the published articles and documents in verification of my statement regarding the history of the Gibb/s family? There are a great many. I am only the latest in a long line of Remembrancers (Chroniclers) of the family. A Considerable amount of the family records/photos/Portraits are held by Kew, the National Portrait Gallery and similar. Naturally, they don't allow me to take the documents out nor indeed will the Scottish Records Office where you can examine all the documents relating to the Kings of Scotland though they are very fragile, you need an appointment and approval as well as the ability to read Latin. The same applies to the English and French Heralds Courts and they Scottish Lyon Heraldic Court. Finally, one of the papers I would refer you to is from the Vatican and relates to the history of the Cardinals.

Up to now the Remembrancers have not had to deal with open Social Media where unfortunately it appears you can publish whatever rubbish you choose to do without any come back or being held to account.

First, welcome to Wikipedia Richard. There is no issue with posting the history of the name Gibb's, if it is sufficiently notable, something that you will have to prove through reliable sources. Second, this appears to be a topic very close to your heart, and thus you may have some issue posting objectively, particularly in the assessment of notability and reliability of sources. If you believe you can overcome this, then you are very welcome to chronical the history of the family.

You mention some documents in the Scottish Records Office and others in Latin. If these meet the standards for sources, then those will be fine - the requirement is that they are accessible, even if it requires considerable effort or cost, and both of those sources do meet that requirement.

I will note that one issue you are finding is that the page you are contributing to is the wrong one. You should be creating a WP:DRAFT for the page Gibbs (surname), the first so you can work on the work without introducing unencyclopedic "Work in progress" paragraphs to the article, such as "I request that someone form Wikipedia assist me as the nature of your editing suite is problematic and will not let me file the 'Proofs' in the correct area.", the second as the page you are editing is a list of people with the name Gibbs, not an article on the name Gibbs.

It's also possible that your article will be about a specific family of the name Gibbs, as opposed to the general class, so you may find yourself needing to create a different, more specific title for your article.

As for the question you raised, in the quote included above, it might be helpful to read this for including proofs (references) -- NoCOBOL (talk) 11:42, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
