Shane Bowden review

Hi.

Thanks for reviewing my edition. I was wondering if you could help me with the article. I just revised a link about the archibald prize to link to the actual wiki page where it shows him as a finialists.

What else would help.

Hello there Tiam,

The main problem with the article is that it is completely devoid of reliable sources that can back up the content that was written. These sources are required for any article par the inclusion criteria - However, since the article you wrote details a living person it is absolutely mantadory to back what is written in the article with these reliable sources.

As to what constitutes a reliable source: Any secondary source that is independent of the subject of the article and which was written and published by an entity of sufficient size / acclaim. Since this is quite a mouthful of text it may be easier to explain if i break it down into parts:

• Secondary source: Anything not published or written by someone close to the subject (Sources written by family members, employees et cetera cannot be used)
• Independent: Anything not related to the subject of the article (Advertorials, paid-for article et cetera cannot be used)
• Entity of sufficient size and acclaim: Something known or expected to write correct information (Major newspapers et cetera are examples that would pass this criteria).

Wikipedia itself cannot be used to cite an article, since it is a tertiary source. Additionally, you might end up with circular referencing where article 1 cites 2, 2 cites 3 and 3 cites 1 again. Excirial ^{(Contact me,Contribs)} 20:19, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
