Florence Reece

Do you have a source for her children's names? Saying you're a relative is not a substitute for providing a valid source. BrineStans (talk) 03:50, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

I do have a copy of my grandmother's will (dated July 12, 1979) and probate documents (Knox County, Tennessee, no. 40893-3, and my uncle David R. Reece was the executor). The will shows my grandmother's surviving children at that time--Leonard T. Reece, Omia R. Paul, James T. Reece, Elmer Reece, David R. Reece, Julia R. Pressley, and Earl B. Reece. My mother's birth certificate. Letters from my grandmother to my mother (these are personal too and not for publication). My mother's handwritten family tree, showing her parents and all her siblings. I do not feel comfortable posting these documents however. Obituary notice of my grandfather, Sam Reece. That I could post. I'm not sure how to do so here, as I am not familiar with Wikipedia talk pages. I would also suggest you check the Find A Grave page for Florence Reece. It is in the process of being updated by Don Sanford to show all 10 of my grandmother's children. I do object to a complete stranger over-ruling a relative.

Do you have the newspaper and date Sam Reece's obit was published? BrineStans (talk) 23:57, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

Also, it is usual practice to not list the names of children, unless they are notable in their own right or subject to significant media coverage (think Blue Ivy or Prince George). —C.Fred (talk) 01:55, 16 May 2016 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Tessiesss. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Florence Reece, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

• avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
• instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
• when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
• avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
• exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a family history or memorial to a deceased relative. —C.Fred (talk) 02:26, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
