Bill Huard article
editThank you for your note on my talk page. I went through it after you added your changes and fixed some of the formatting issues to make it look a little better. The biggest issue now is the citing of sources. Please take a look at Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:No original research. Wikipedia requires all content to be "verifiable", meaning that some time in the future, someone looking at the article, could go to independent sources (like news articles, books, team websites, etc) and confirm everything in the article. Wikipedia actually has a policy Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons that says that anything unsourced can be removed from a biographical article at any time, particularly anything controversial or negative. So the biggest issue is finding and citing independent sources for the information that you have added. I will keep that article on my watchlist and the "cleanup" notice at the top will invite other editors to help. I have also listed a request for assistance on Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard. This notice board is a central area for requesting assistance on articles ot this kind. Again, please take a look at the Wikipedia policies and guidelines I linkes - I think they will help. Thank you. --BigDT 05:08, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
