First of all, in Wikipedia, all your truly epic and amazing skills as a journalist, and make sure you understand this, mean nothing!!! There is no way to verify that you are who you claim to be, and the rules for how you do things in no way are held above Wikipedia's standards. I suggest you read WP:RS for the details on reliable sources. It in no way states that you need x amount of confirmations to add something to an article. You just need one that can be considered "reliable". The reference you added was from an unofficial fansite, who were making a claim with no statements from those involved and no way to back them up. My source was from the actor in question's personal website. Information must be from a source deemed reliable by that page.

I would not recommend leaving a comment like you left me to anyone else ever again. You come off sounding pompous, arrogant, and superior, when in reality you have almost no experience in Wikipedia and clearly have not read the rules regarding how things work.

"Geez, teenagers"? Your 26!!! Where the hell do you get off!? Your barely 8 years older. Anyway, I may have been mistake about that website, but that does not in any way change the fact that your source is also unreliable for every reason that I stated.

And yes, you were pompous. In what way can this be taken other than "pompous":

I am a professional journalist with a journalism degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I work for a TV news station as a news producer and a Web producer.

You were trying to punk me out into thinking that because you have all this real world training that you "must be right" and I am just a stupid kid. It was insulting.

Also, despite the fact that I was wrong, it does not change the fact that Wikipedia is NOT journalism and it has its own methods for sourcing and referencing. kingdom2 (talk) 18:53, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What you "know to be accurate and reliable" may not be, and in this case was not, what Wikipedia considers accurate and reliable. kingdom2 (talk) 00:57, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

^^^--Gotta love it when condescending people on here are forced to eat crow. Tonight's episode proved I was right! weswilson4 (talk) 10:25, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
