Please don't remove any sourced content from this page without discussing it at Talk:John Noguez. Even if you sent an email to the Wikimedia Foundation, there are thousands of editors out there that don't know about its content or your concerns. We are very serious about potential issues with biographical articles of living persons, so please try to explain the matter at the article's talk page so other editors may understand your motivation.

- Thank you for your email, but please note that this is absolutely not the preferred way of communicating at Wikipedia. We have our user talk pages for personal messages. Also, Wikipedia does not have a board of editors that controls the content of the articles. In fact, Wikipedia is "the encyclopedia that anyone can edit". That is whey our articles are based on consensus among the various editors. So if you think there is an issue with sources and content in the article about Noguez, please discuss it with our community of editors. I learned yesterday that apparently you've already been advised to do so when your initial email to Wikipedia was answered. So please go ahead and open a new section at Talk:John Noguez to find consensus for your proposed changes to the article. De728631 (talk) 09:00, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
- I think since nobody has objected to your explanation on the talk page you can now edit the article content accordingly. But instead of simply deleting any existing text as you did last time, you should rewrite it so it matches your new sources. De728631 (talk) 10:08, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
