Donny Long
editWelcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions, including your edits to Donny Long. However, please be aware of Wikipedia's policy that biographical information about living persons must not be libelous. Any controversial statements about a living person added to an article, or any other Wikipedia page, must include proper sources. Please note that derogatory information published under a pseudonym is not considered reliable. • Gene93k (talk) 03:16, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Re:
editI understand your concern. However, I think we should wait to see what happens. — scetoaux (T|C) 02:45, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Okay. I agree completely. Let's let the admins handle it. James W. Ballantine (talk) 03:00, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Information from governmental sources
editNot acceptable either; please read the policy on biographies of living people. Unless its been substantially covered by reputable media, we're not interested. Since you seem to have such an interest in adding negative material to the article, I'd suggest that editing the article at all probably isn't a good idea. Take some time to learn what Wikipedia is about and then see if you'd be interested in editing; Wikipedia:Five Pillars is a good place to start. Shell babelfish 15:07, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
