[edit] F. Javier Cevallos

Wikipedia policies on verifiability and biographies of living people mandate that any controversial statements made in articles should be backed up by one or more reliable sources. That is why you need to cite your claim.

As for how to cite the claim, I'm glad to help. WP:FOOTNOTES gives the fancy method, but it's really simple to just leave web link after a paragraph. If, for example, your corroboration is found at the web address http://www.newsstories.com/cevallos, then after you write your statement, just add this after the period of the last paragraph:

[http://www.newsstories.com/cevallos]

which will look like this in the article:

Blah blah blah vote of no confidence.[1]

As for where I "get off changing something" when I "know nothing about it", I've been doing this for years and I'm quite familiar with our policies that are designed to protect article subjects from potentially libelous statements. Your claim, if it is properly sourced, sounds worthy of inclusion, but if unsourced cannot be allowed to stand. Please check out the links in the welcome message above for more information.
