Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. JoshuaZ 19:57, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Help: Title Change

I've written this biography of the late stage and silent film star Paul Gilmore, but I had to list him as "Paul H. Gilmore" because there was another guy on Wikipedia named "Paul Gillmor." There really is no way to confuse the two because the spellings of the last name are completely different, but Wikipedia wouldn't let me list my guy as "Paul Gilmore." Hence, I had to add the middle initial to make it different.

I'd like to change that -- to list him, simply, as "Paul Gilmore," which is how he was known. How do I go about doing that?

Just as an added note; I'm rewriting the bio this weekend to reflect new information that has come to me, and will whip it into shape regarding style, references, etc.

Thank you for your help!Easyid (talk) 19:25, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Help with Gilmore entry

Hi, Hope you can help. I've worked for days on the Paul Gilmore (actor) biography and have resolved some issues, but can't seem to get anywhere with others.

1. When I do a search for Paul Gilmore, the page of politician Paul Gillmor comes up. There is a line at the top that directs the reader to actor Paul Gilmore, but it seems to me that a search for Paul Gilmore should pull up the Paul Gilmore page directly. Can you help with this?

2. I've provided extensive references based on new information that has come to me, but I can't figure out how to do the footnotes. I'll keep trying to unravel that one, unless someone can help me.

3. I have a photo of Gilmore that I am owner of the rights to, but there doesn't seem to be a way to upload it.

4. Finally, the three boxes at the top of my entry point to issues that I think I've resolved. Can they be removed?

I do appreciate any help you can provide. Easyid (talk) 17:57, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Wow... great job on the article. To answer your queries:

1. I think if you give it some time, the search results will become correct. Last I heard, Wikipedia uses Google for searches. Google will find that page and then it should show up correctly.
2. Looks like you got the footnotes generating now. Not sure what "Ibid" means.
3. Looks like you managed to figure this out as well
4. Yes, and it looks like you've done that

Again, outstanding job! —Mrand ^{Talk • C} 14:09, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Sorry for the belated reply, my filters accidentally dropped your email in the junk folder. I'm glad I could help, your superebly reseached article was the first time I've attempted using the reference tags - looking at the article in edit mode should show you how they work. I also figure out how to get to and correct the redirect, which is the first time I've tried that. Edward321 (talk) 17:05, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Fontane album.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Fontane album.jpg. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 14:30, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Thomas Fogarty

Howdy Easyid, Wow. Thomas J. Fogarty is quite a contributor to society. In reviewing WP:NAMEPEOPLE, I would recommend the following. First, there should only be one page per person. So I'd make sure to move any unique content (especially good references!) from the existing Thomas Fogarty article to the one on Thomas J. Then you have actually have a choice... you can either use the Thomas Fogarty page for the artist, or turn it into a disambiguation page and create a separate article with the title Thomas Fogarty (artist). The policy above seems to be slightly slanted towards NOT creating a stand-alone disambiguation page for most situations, but Thomas J. has been pretty busy, so some might argue for it in this case. It's really up to you! The good part is that these pages can be very easily moved around later if other more serious conflicts arise. If it were me, I'd probably just use the "Thomas Fogarty" article for the artist. Then at the top of that article, you would use the "for" template to create a wikilink:

For the surgeon, inventor, and winemaker, see Thomas J. Fogarty.

Have fun! —Mrand ^{Talk • C} 19:01, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Staunton, Virginia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by some search engines, including Google. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. SchuminWeb (Talk) 19:59, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Don_O._Newland

Another good job! I'm not an expert on biographies, but he seems to be well documented. If there were certain people that he did considerable amounts of work with, you might consider linking back to this article from there - i.e., you can help show the importance of a topic/article by having MEANINGFUL wikilinks to it. Having said that, unless I'm missing something, I doubt we would want to add him to the list of "Notable itinerants" on the itinerant page. As for this page itself, I wikilinked the first occurrence of the term "itinerant" (I certainly didn't know what it meant). My only VERY minor suggestions references should go after punctuation (not before). You can, of course, solicit more feedback from Wikipedia:Requests_for_feedback. Keep up the good work! —Mrand ^{Talk • C} 21:15, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
