Hello, I'm Wtwilson3. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living person on Friedensreich Hundertwasser, but that you didn’t support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Sorry, YouTube is not a reliable source. — Bill W.

Reply to your message on my talk page. It's OK to cite the German source directly. In fact it's preferable. There's no rule that all sources have to be in English. In this case YouTube is not the source anyway, the actual program is. So add the citation that way and you're golden. — Bill W. (Talk) (Contrib) — 21:25, 26 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
