Personal testimony

Look, it is VERY simple!

Wikipedia articles require reliable sources. Your father's personal testimony doesn't count, and that applies whether you put it in the main article or attempt to create a new article. The material that you persist in trying to add is [[WP:OR|original research, and is NOT allowed Mayalld 22:18, 11 November 2007 (UTC) reply
