JF Robitaille edit
Hi. I've moved the article Jf robitaille to JF Robitaille, notice the change in capital letters. Can you give some sources for the article as to its notability? (Click on those blue links to read about them.) --EarthPerson 18:32, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
- Hi. As far as citing sources, a simple way is to put the URL for the page you found the information at the end of a sentence using ref tags, like this:
- JF Robitaille is something something something<ref>http://www.somewebaddress.com</ref>.
- You also need to put references section like this:
- ==References==
- <references/>
- This section will pick up <ref> tags and list them in order. Again, take a look at wp:cite and play around in the wp:sandbox. Take a look at Thomas Turgoose, an article that I created that has three references in it.
- I think you may have a issue with notability though. I did a google on "JF Robitaille" and most things that came back were mostly just about the music, but not much notability about the artist himself, at least not in terms of Wikipedia. Here were the best sources I could find:
- http://www.nowtoronto.com/issues/2006-06-08/music_feature12.php
- http://www.mri.gouv.qc.ca/usa/_scripts/ViewEvent.asp?EventID=4237&Menu=&lang=en - this is press release on a government cultural site - unusual (to me at least)
- http://www.montrealmirror.com/ARCHIVES/2003/082103/music6.html - this is old
- http://www.roughtradeproducers.com/bilerman.php which seems to be related to Rough Trade Records
- But again, these didn't talk about much more than the music. You may also want to look over wp:band which deals with particulars for musicians. Good luck. --EarthPerson 20:29, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
