Sourcing

User:Box32 please be more careful to ensure all the material you add is securely sourced. In this edit [1] you stated that 'Jackson ultimately decided to retire from boxing due to health reasons', I have found nothing in the source to support your assertion that he had made such a decision for health reasons or any other reason. See WP:BLP.SovalValtos (talk) 10:57, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

He has retired due to health reasons, and the reason I know is I’m the article author, his manager, his coach, and his father. So I probably well informed. Don’t you worry, once the full statement comes out in news and by the BBBofC I’ll be sure to add that citation, however quote me. I’m also a boxing historian, a Tv boxing pundit so I’m probably more informed than most on this subject.

Not everything in notables person life is written in the papers or news online to create a wonderful citation.

I feel as his manager I’m more than qualified to comment. Box32 (talk) 11:32, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ashlee Eales boxed a 6 round fight against a journeyman Omir and lost - added the boxrec, so please don’t remove those records. Box32 (talk) 12:02, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I feel as a non connected editor, you should not edit the article, because you are his father. DACartman (talk) 15:21, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User:Box32 Wikipedia is an Encyclopedia. Articles in Wikipedia should contain only verifiable information and opinions that already exist in reliable sources, not as you seem to think, is it allowable to wait until 'the full statement comes out in news and by the BBBofC I’ll be sure to add that citation'.SovalValtos (talk) 12:21, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
