Help with Ekaterina Vaganova

edit

Re. Ekaterina Vaganova

Temir87, welcome from me, too!

I have moved your requests for help from Talk:Ekaterina Vaganova to your own talk page. We like to deal with 'helpme' requests on users own pages - to provide 1:1 support.

The article discussion page should be used to suggest and discuss improvements to the article with other editors.

This might sound like a fine line, but the main reason for my moving things here is, every time you get a reply here, you will get the "You have new messages" alert.

I will add replies below. Once again, welcome, and thanks for contributing.

For more help, you can either;

  • Leave a message on my own talk page; OR
  • Use a {{helpme}} - please create a new section at the end of your own talk page, put {{helpme}}, and ask your question - remember to 'sign' your name by putting ~~~~ at the end; OR
  • Talk to us live, with this or this.

The last of those is particularly useful - please try it; pop in now and say hello.  Chzz  ►  12:41, 22 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Sourcing questions

edit

The sources for this article are on the official website of Ekaterina Vaganova. The website is currently down for technical problems, but soon, in few days, it will be working again. So, please wait a little bit... Thank you!!! --Temir87 (talk) 08:11, 19 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

I'd like to ask you a question. Is it ok to leave as reference the official website of Ekaterina Vaganova in that way i wrote it? I wrote it in the External Links section. Or do i have to create the Reference section and put it there? And another question. There are even other references besides the official website, but they are in Russian language. Can i put them as references, 'cause they are available even right now, or not? Thanks! --Temir87 (talk) 08:35, 19 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

{{helpme}} I added the references and made some other changes. What else do i have to do with the article to get rid of the waning at the top of the page? Thanks! --Temir87 (talk) 09:22, 20 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

I have removed one of the templates at the top of the page for you. They can be found right at the very top of the edit window with brackets around them like these -> {{ }}. Hope this helps. Chevymontecarlo. 15:07, 20 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Thank you very much for the response! But can i by myself remove the warnings? For example i've already put the references, but the warning is still there... THANX FOR HELP! {{helpme}} --Temir87 (talk) 18:01, 20 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Please someone help me or give me advices! I've already put third-party references. What's wrong? And what's with the grammar, spelling or something else with the text? If you point to the error i'll try to resolve it. And it says that the article is an orphan as no other article links to it. What do i have to do with this? How can i make other articles link here if they don't mention Ekaterina Vaganova? Thanx!!! --Temir87 (talk) 15:31, 21 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

There's no real need to panic - there are tens of thousands of articles that have similar issues across Wikipedia. Every Wikipedia article is a work in progress. What it probably takes is someone not connected with the original work to tackle the issues - that's why those tags tend to exist. (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 12:05, 22 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
Currently, the article does rely quite a lot on the "dancesportinfo.net" website - which appears to be a primary source. "vaganova.info" is also not an independent source. Articles should rely on facts from truly independent reliable sources - that is, publications, wtih a 'reputation for fact-checking and accuracy'.
This is particularly important on biographies of a living person.
As advised above, there is no need to 'panic' - the tags at the top of the page are there to help; to advise on possible improvements. I do not think that the article is in any imminent danger of deletion, but please be aware that any facts that do not have a good reliable source may be removed - WP:V.
With regards to the 'copy edit' and 'grammar' tags, I will try to improve those areas myself.
Any user - including yourself - is welcome to remove the tags, if they have addressed the issues they raise. The tags are produced by the code at the very top of the article - ie {{multiple issues|cleanup=April 2010|copyedit=April 2010|primarysources=April 2010|orphan|date=April 2010}}
If you do have further questions, please add a further {{helpme}} here, on your own talk page. Best,  Chzz  ►  12:41, 22 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
P.S. You will be able to see the changes that I make in the article history - if you read my comments in my 'edit summaries', and look at the diff - e.g. this one - it may help you to learn about good practice on Wikipedia. Best,  Chzz  ►  12:55, 22 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

File permission

edit

When you uploaded the picture on the article, File:Ekaterina vaganova02.jpg, you said that it was "entirely your own work'. However, it clearly says that it is from "Piergiorgio fallaelli".

Wikipedia can only use files which are appropriately licenced, and this picture may be deleted very soon.

If it is your own work, please send a copy of user:chzz/help/myboilerplate to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org with the picture attached, and your own name on the bottom - then let me know, on user talk:chzz.

Thanks,  Chzz  ►  13:51, 22 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
