I just realized that the template doesn't point to the Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard#Obie Scott Wade link. This is where the issue is being discussed.--CaroleHenson (talk) 00:08, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

CaroleHenson, the template unfortunately doesn't have that functionality. Noticeboard links keep changing (and later archived, unlike an AFD which has a dedicated page) and I guess it would not be practical to have it. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 03:32, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thanks! Makes sense.--CaroleHenson (talk) 03:39, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Here are some potential sources for citations. You'd have to look through to see that they meet WP:GNG definitions re: sources: 5 articles in HighBeam, some articles that are reliable sources in google news, and what look to be 3 sources that could be used in google books, although 2 of them are snippet views--CaroleHenson (talk) 11:52, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've used all that I could find here that were reliable sources - and added new content to the article.--CaroleHenson (talk) 19:51, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I removed uncited content, if you can find sources, let me know and I'd be happy to return cited content. The strike- outs mean that sources were found for those bits of info:
