Right... Where to start.

That maybe worth noting. But a lot more clearly than you manged to do it. Pages that should have be published somehow wound by DC wound up published in an altered ate by another company. DC never published those pages, which began a story arc, but published the remainder. This is closer to what is in Bob Hughes' (the only by line i can find related to that page) text that what you added.

Next is the bigger problem: You need to cite where you got the information. That citation needs to be in the article. Not something you pull out and show only on your wall when questioned on it. Full stop. This is not an unreasonable or excessive requirement. It is part of responsibly writing or contributing to an article.

Putting in the citation allows a reader to judge the source of the information. Leaving it out does make it look like the Database is making things up. Remember, you name is not attached to it when someone reads the article. It is only attributed to the DC Database as a whole.

Also, the readers, as well as the other editors here, cannot read your mind. Putting the citation in avoid others from coming to your wall - if they figure out you are tho one that added the information - and asking why you added. What you based it on.
