I have an article I am trying to reference at: http://www.christianitydaily.com/articles/2245/20150219/criminal-minds-season-10-episode-16-spoilers-major-cast-member.htm

But when I add it, then click on the references it goes to the home page of the reference and not the specific article. How can I link this article correctly?

thanks,

brittany

@Bcornwell32:   Fixed: You seem to be putting // at the end of your URLs. If you remove them, the links will go to the correct place. I have taken care of the links in your draft, just make sure that you don't have any extra //s at the end for future links that you add. --Ahecht (TALK

thank you so much! i had one more question if you don't mind. in my article i explain that i co-founded a group called 'polo buddies' and then i describe what the group is. would it help to add a reference to the website www.polobuddies.com after that explanation. Or would that not be helpful. thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bcornwell32 (talk • contribs) 20:46, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

My article was given conditional acceptance and marked as "Start-Class", with the recommendation to add further categories. I have now added all the relevant categories, as recommended. Will my article now be changed from "Start Class" to a regular article? FoxyFlute (talk) 04:55, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@FoxyFlute: I have reassessed Johann Baptist Wendling as C class and removed the maintenance tag. If you're confident that a tag is redundant, be bold and remove it. WikiProject Classical Music may be able to give more advice. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 07:29, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have updated the article somewhat sucessfully. I've noted a bit of a problem with the only photo in the article, that it lacks the name of the user and the nature of the copyright in its file. I may need some help doing this, as I've seen little about modifying an existing photo once you've brought it into an existing wiki file. If someone could access my article I'd be thrilled, or just get back to me. I only currently need someone to verify that the one photo I have in the article will pass muster!!

Thank-you so much!!

Hi Dcw2003 - Happy to help. On citations themselves, where to insert, etc., see WP:CITE. On how to format those citations, you can take a look at WP:CIT. The latter will also has a link when you want to use the same reference many times. To use a reference, you need a page number. I would select one of the versions of the autobiography, and stick with that. You can "ping" me here, (use the @Dcw2003: template), or you can message me on my talk page if you need further help.

I am not clear what exactly notability requires. Mike Jones was an eminent 20th century muralist and trade union artist.. I have referenced all that and provided background on his life, with significant facts hyperlinked. I have included footnote references. Could you give me specific examples from the submission of what needs to change. Many thanks. Willygg (talk) 17:20, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have asked for help at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Socialism#Mike Jones (artist). You may find Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners useful in further improving the Draft. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 13:32, 24 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, My article wasn't approved, but it is comparable to the following pages:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellen_Eagle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Maidman https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_T._Scott https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Kassan

My article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:ArtVigilante/sandbox

What can I do to improve my article. Should I list exhibitions like Richard T. Scott? I like the simplicity of Ellen Eagle's page. Please advise.

Madegray (talk) 20:09, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I am trying to create a wikipedia page to point to and distinguish Gordon Gray, the publisher from the other Gordon Gray's that are on wikipedia. I'm not sure how I would go about proving his date of birth and birthplace. All other information is public and verifiable. What needs to be done to have the page approved?

Hi Madegray - There are two issues with your article. First, there is only a single reference, and while that establishes Gray as the founder of Mafia, it is a mere mention of him. There are two types of references, those which verify facts (like your reference), and those which establish notability. Your reference would help establish the notability of Porter (who the article is about), but not Gray. We need to see coverage like this about Gray, to establish notability, and they need to come from independent sources. Second, once you have the notability references, you need to make sure that each assertion you make which might prove contentious, has an inline citation. You can learn more about references at either referencing for beginners or citing sources. Further, you can learn how to format your citations at citation templates. Assertions like changing the name of the company would definitely need a reference. Finally, while not a problem, you should remove the sentence about his net worth. We don't report unknowns.
