I have reverted your recent edits. Family statements and word of mouth are not reliable sources for Wikipedia purposes, see WP:RS. Also, we do not put user signatures in articles.--ukexpat (talk) 16:40, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

How is the owner of a privately owned item word of Mouth? If I owned a patent on an item would that be word of mouth? How do we legally protect our rights to the postings on this page? We are in legal ownership of this lake so legally we have a right to what is posted on this page? --SchulerSwanie (talk) 16:44, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

To be frank, we only have your word for it, see WP:Verifiability and WP:RS. There is no way for you to control the content of the article - no one owns a Wikipedia article. That's why we focus on sources - if the article has reliable sources, changes that conflict with the sources can be removed.--ukexpat (talk) 17:01, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
