We re are all nobody Amy Macdonald If that is who you are Your experience here is a common story but only because people can t appreciate that Wikipedia takes no one s word for it The fact is that on Wikipedia all the editors are nobodies I m nobody you re nobody is nobody In fact you don t even have a name you are just a number So it s never enough to say It s true because I say so and I should know Wikipedia needs reliable cites that prove it is true So if you really think the figures are wrong and really want your No 1s back please find some cites that prove it No one is saying you are wrong they are saying you have to prove it That s how Wikipedia works If it didn t work that way then your article would be full of rubbish that someone else once swore was true but didn t have a cite for Have you looked at some of the crap that editors like and myself keep out of your article If it wasn t for Wikipedia policy on cites you would be complaining on your MySpace blog how Wikipedia will believe anything anyone writes about you So you can t have it both ways
