[edit] Shed

I've removed this from the article: "Few people know that Dexter (A.K.A Nick) used to live in a shed which was located in his back garden in Cotham Park, Bristol." Reference needed.--Ethicoaestheticist 10:22, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

However, I am 100% sure this is true as I am related to the artist himself. I don't understand how to give a reference and just wanted my step-uncle's real name and to tell how he expressed his artistic talent when he was younger.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Alice Street (talk • contribs) 18:22, 11 June 2007 UTC.

Thanks for your comment. Apologies for accusing you of vandalism. To be included in the article these details need to be backed up with a published source - say, an exhibition catalogue or an interview. According to WP:V, "The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth." In other words, it's not enough that the statements are true, they have to have been published by a reliable source.--Ethicoaestheticist 18:57, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
