Personal knowledge is not enough
Saying “I know (him/that/anything) personally” as you did in your edit to Huntington Beach High School (specifically, this one: Special:Diff/932188136), is not enough for inclusion information in Wikipedia. Please see the essay Wikipedia:Verifiability, not truth, which presents a wide perspective of the TRUTH in encyclopedia. It also refers to more detailed guidelines and policies, like
- Wikipedia:No original research, which explains why 'I know' doesn't suffice in general,
- Wikipedia:Verifiability, which describes why references to external sources are important, and
- Wikipedia:Reliable sources, which explains what sources should be used as references (and what types should not – and why).
As a simple example imagine me. I do not know Mr. Morris. I even have no possibility to meet him – I don't live in Huntington Beach, not even on the same continent! How can I know the nickname you entered is actually true? Suppose some day some bored teenager comes and replaces the nick with "Fanny Lorris", also claiming 'this is true, I know him and I know those students, they actually call him like this'. How will I know who is right then, without any external, reliable source? --CiaPan (talk) 08:11, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
