User: Angryped has reverted an edit on the Marley article mentioning Scrooge's sister death, saying that "His sister's death during childbirth is why he resents his nephew. Certainly not a misnomer" I also tried to take Seasider53 advice on removing "portrayals" from the characters articles as they describe it as "Trivia and mostly unsourced for coming up on five years". My suggestions for the Cratchit article was based on these; "Scrooge threatens to sack his clerk if he asks for more coal to heat the fire. Cratchit wears his woollen scarf at work as he is so cold." is based on the sentence, "The door of Scrooge's counting-house was open that he might keep his eye upon his clerk, who in a dismal little cell beyond, a sort of tank, was copying letters. Scrooge had a very small fire, but the clerk's fire was so very much smaller that it looked like one coal. But he couldn't replenish it, for Scrooge kept the coal-box in his own room; and so surely as the clerk came in with the shovel, the master predicted that it would be necessary for them to part. Wherefore the clerk put on his white comforter, and tried to warm himself at the candle; in which effort, not being a man of a strong imagination, he failed." The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come shows Scrooge the Cratchit family mourning the death of Tiny Tim, with Bob returning from the graveyard where Tim's funeral will take place, and paying his respects to Tim's body upstairs. is based on "Yes, my dear," returned Bob. "I wish you could have gone. It would have done you good to see how green a place it is. But you'll see it often. I promised him that I would walk there on a Sunday. My little, little child!" cried Bob. "My little child!" expressing by offering Cratchit a drink of "smoking bishop", and even telling him to buy a coal-scuttle for his room. Bob is at first taken aback by Scrooge's transformation. Bob trembled, and got a little nearer to the ruler. He had a momentary idea of knocking Scrooge down with it, holding him, and calling to the people in the court for help and a strait-waistcoat.

Hi IP, The problem with your revert is that you didn't include a reliable secondary source that backs it up: that makes it easy for someone to delete. If you can source that to a high quality, reliable source, then it shouldn't be deleted. However, what you deleted was also unsourced, so that shouldn't really be there either, given it's partly WP:original research. I've tagged it for someone to find a source, but if they do, there is no reason for it to be removed. Having said that, there is no reason why your addition should also not be included if it has a secondary source to back it up: it's a valid enough point for inclusion. I suggest you do some searches of Google Books, or the book section of the Internet Archive to find something (preferably an academic source) that backs up your point.
