Wikipedia:Requests for feedback/2010 July 2

Any help would be appreciated! This is my first page. Thank you much.

Hello there! I think you're off to a good start. You've got references provided, which is good. It would be best though if you could use inline citing of your references. It's not hard to do, and I would recommend reading Wikipedia:References for beginners to get the coding for it. Once you get that taken care of, I think you can go ahead and publish the article. Hope this helps. :) Pianotech (talk) 01:25, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your article is very well-written. It is good that you introduce the actors/actresses and their roles and explain the film. The only thing I found that you could improve is your references. They should be numbered, and if applicable you need a title, date, and author for each page. Jsayre64

This guy has written several very influential books is responsible for the publication of a whole genre of books and a renaissance in the western martial arts community. Does he meet the threshold for notability?

Hello! Notability is determined by the existence of independent, verifiable references. I would think that if you can provide at least three such references, you could state a case for notability. Notability isn't related to popularity, but to the fact that others who are not connected are writing about the person or subject. Hope that helps. :) Pianotech (talk) 03:33, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
See WP:BIO and WP:GNG for the notability criteria. -Reconsider! 09:16, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please review article so that "new unreviewed article" template can be removed


~~Lanchner (talk) 09:19, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Lanchner- You've got a good article going, but see if you can find more information. If not, you can leave the article how it is and it will still be a great article. Jsayre64

Yeah, the article could do with a bit of expansion. However, you could leave it as it is - it could be a stub instead. Chevymontecarlo 09:00, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You've got the right idea. You look like you know what you're doing. But try to fix that formatting error with the dotted-line box and the abnormal text font, and, even if you used it multiple times, you only have to list that reference once. Jsayre64

I corrected the first error Jsayre64 commented on - it's caused by leaving a space at the start of a sentence,
like this.
Other than that I think you need to try and find more Categories to add to the article as well as additional reliable references, if possible. At the moment the whole article really only has one reference. Chevymontecarlo 09:04, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please have a look and tell me what more is needed to make this article suitable for wikipedia - I created it in 2010 January and it was on wikipedia for about 6 months and then somehow it got tossed back into my workspace. Do I have enough sources?

A Google search for Jack Willer gives 118,000 hits.

Thanks for any and all help and pointers.

Cheers!

You need to add some more useful names to the references, such as [http://www.apple.com|Apple website]. Also, you might want to add an infobox to the article, such as this template, which you can use. I hope this is helpful! Chevymontecarlo 16:54, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

We need to know if this will be accepted. Also any notes on the format


~~Tgennert (talk) 16:18, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think the article needs an infobox if possible, I recommend maybe Template:Infobox person or something like that. Also please try and use inline citations to display the references correctly. I will post an example on your talk page to help you out. I hope you understand this. For more information please either contact me, ask at the help desk or take a look at WP:CITE.

article written about Malcolm Grear, an American graphic designer


~~ScreenDaddy (talk) 20:05, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Good article with four fairly solid references, so I think it's ready to go. An infobox would add a nice touch, though I think you can publish the article the way it is. If you do decide to add an infobox, a good one to use for people is Template:Infobox person. Good luck with the article. :) Pianotech (talk) 20:25, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Is my article well-written with reliable sources and a good amount of interesting information?

~~Jsayre64 (talk) 22:01, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but that is not at all the way footnotes are formed in Wikipedia. Please check out WP:CITE and footnotes. Referencing can trip up new editors. If the links aren't making sense to you, let me know and I can fix one for you as an illustration, but you can also look at just about any other article in Wikipedia to see how it is done.--SPhilbrickT 22:42, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Article unreviewed over a month. Would appreciate someone taking a look. Thanks

~~em2 on wikipedia (talk) 22:15, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Very good article! Just add a title, date, and author for each webpage in your references and continue the numbering system in the references. Good job! Jsayre64

Looks pretty good, I removed the unreviewed template. A couple things should be done; I'll do the first:
  • Looks like you created your own hatnote. I'll convert to use the usual template.
  • You have a number of well-formed references (e.g. [2]). However, you have some bare links embedded (.e.g josephbertolozzi.com link), which should be in proper format
  • In the reference section, you have a number of bulleted items. These belong int he external links section, unless they are being used as references, in which case they should be properly formatted like the others.
It is clear you know how to do references, properly, but check out WP:CITE and footnotes isif you have any questions, or just ask me.--SPhilbrickT 22:00, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, just wrote an article of the Serge Gainsbourg album Vu de l'extérieur. Surely anything by Gainsbourg is worthy of inclusion? Especially due to his longstanding legendary status in France. Any advice appreciated.


~~Perry (talk) 23:34, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. I'm sure it is 'worthy', but the requirement for a Wikipedia article is, some references to independent reliable sources, such as newspaper reviews or something. It needs to be verifiable and "notable" in Wikipedia terms - see WP:VRS.
The information you've put about his health, etc, is very interesting - but, you need to say where it comes from - provide a reference that the reader can check for themselves. See WP:CITE.  Chzz  ►  15:55, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
