DISCUSSIONS

Bai Ling birth year

edit

Hi, the edit you did was undone. Please read this link. Lacking a better source, her own father indicated she was born in 1961, and he would be a fine authority on the subject. Thanks. • Lawrence Cohen 06:39, 29 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Unsourced information

edit

  Please do not add unsourced or original content, as you did to Winona Ryder. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Ward3001 (talk) 02:46, 2 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Vogue

edit

Can you help me with the vogue cover template. On its talk page there are some images that I need help with.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 06:16, 6 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

Victoria's Secret

edit

I see you only put one template on may pages even when the subject had appeared on two. I think they should have each template they appear on. I think this will really be an issue with Vogue where two or three templates is going to be common. This is common with templates. Look at an athlete like Robert Horry, Tiger Woods or Shaquille O'Neal.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 01:36, 9 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

Victoria's Secret Fashion Show

edit
  1. Do you have a source for [this edit?
  2. Are you keeping the list in the article and the template in synch?
  3. Are you adding the template to bio articles as appropriate?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 00:32, 24 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hi. When you recently edited List of Marie Claire cover models, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Anne Hathaway and Kate Walsh (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Proposed deletion of List of Lucky magazine cover models

edit
 

The article List of Lucky magazine cover models has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not worth an independent article for just one cover model. If necessary, merge to Lucky (magazine).

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

  Hello, I'm Meters. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Richardson family murders, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Your edit directly contradicted the cited source, as well as other sources we use in the article. Can you provide a reliable source showing she was 14 and not 13 when sentenced?
