Hey, sorry to come across strong like this, but I ended up reverting your addition of Jessica Mathews' marriage date because I could find no source for it. (I also tagged the previous citation to an ancestry website; I believe it's unreliable because information in that genealogical record appears to be submitted by a member of the public.) We have strict guidelines for sourcing in Biographies of living persons; see also Help:Referencing for beginners for information on how that's done. Given that I couldn't find when she married Charles G. Boyd, I'd be interested in a source that provides such detailed biographical information. – Anon423 (talk) 10:12, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
On an unrelated note, I appreciate your use of edit summaries. Many new users don't use them well. Thanks for being descriptive. – Anon423 (talk) 10:31, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
