[edit] Esquerita
Hi, I saw you working on the Esquerita article. Do you perhaps have a source that he died of AIDS. I've been searching for a while for that but couldn't find it (online). There is not much info about him online and I don't have any other sources of him available. Garion96 (talk) 04:34, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, it really is a shame. I will definitely contact them and see if I can get reliable source there. Thanks for the tip. Garion96 (talk) 03:33, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] PDQ Chocolate
Hello. I noticed that you added back in the external links that I removed (removal addition). I am not going to remove them again, but rather, I would like to give you some good reasons why you maybe should:
- None of these links describe the subject of the article. I did a search (using Google) for a mention of "PDQ Chocolate" on the three websites, and this did not yield any results. See Wikipedia:External links#Links normally to be avoided, item number 13.
- The links, then, do not relate to PDQ Chocolate so much as they do to Ovaltine. Because they are, in fact, the official sites of Ovaltine, their appropriate place is at the bottom of the Ovaltine article (where they are).
It's important that people know where you got your information from. I mean, where did you learn that Ovaltine discontinued the product around 1995? Please excuse if I'm being annoying; however, I would appreciate if you considered my points. Thank you, and happy editing :) GracenotesT § 17:04, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Please see Wikipedia's guideline on reliable sources. It's important to draw information from credible places; it certainly doesn't give readers confidence in a source if, in the midst of citing that source, you point out that it contains important errors. Having to do something like that should be an indication to you that the website you're citing is not the best source of information and you should find a better one. Sources should never include personal websites, privately written articles, blogs, wikis, or discussion forums.
At times, a better one can't be found. That's okay; just leave the information out of the article until you can find one. This is particularly important in biographies of living people. According to our policy, any information about a living person that can not be properly verified should be removed immediately. Kafziel Talk 18:43, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
