Can you please clarify why the entire section of Career was removed?
Hi @
Digie86, I'm declining this edit request because the source given isn't
good enough for what you want adding. The website you've given appears to be Ettinger's own website, and while (per
WP:ABOUTSELF) that can be used as a
reliable source for simple facts about the subject, the things you want adding, such as his date of birth, don't appear to be on that website (not at first glance anyway). The other paragraph you want adding about the website would need other
independent sources to be added to the article (for example, He is an expert,
according to whom?). If you need help with references,
this page might help you, and I will soon add a box to the top of this talk page with links to find
reliable sources about Ettinger. You could also visit the
reference desk. Once you've found reliable sources, you can re-submit another edit request. The career section that you added to the page appears to have been removed by
Buidhe per
WP:NOTCV. If you need any more help, click
here to find where you can get help. Thanks.

Explanation of issue:
Can you please clarify why my previous request to adjust the Infobox was declined?
Hi

This way whoever reviews your requested additions can click on the citation(s) for each fact and check their veracity. Using the Edit toolbar is the easiest way; click the "Cite" link and choose the type of citation, and a box will appear with fields to fill out.
