Talk:Chris Rice

Untitled

I'm as big a Chris Rice fan as anyone, but this article seems be badly in need of reworking for more nPOV and sources, and less reliance on quotes that seem to come from a PR release. (As usual when I make these statements rather than just editing, I don't feel up to the task, but am hoping to entice someone with more time and WP experience to take the initiative.)

Fair use rationale for Image:Chrisrice-12.jpg

Image:Chrisrice-12.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 20:14, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Edits

I added some more external links and awards to give more credibility to the article. Hopefully, this is accurate. Also, since this article was 'tagged' for use of the word "trivia" as a header I changed it somewhat and removed tag. If someone else has a better name - go for it. Hope this helps.

Citations

I haven't done a lot of edits on Wikipedia before and am a bit unclear on the citation rules. Can someone explain or point me to an explanation of what constitutes a secondary source when all you're trying to do is demonstrate that the person has published a book, sold some artwork, or released an album (see the "Other" section that I recently added to this page). I get that it's not appropriate to cite a commerce site (e.g., Amazon), so what else is suitable documentation unless there is an independent review of the work? Or is that the whole point: if it hasn't been reviewed, it's not notable enough to mention? For the book, is a page on GoodReads.com acceptable?

Thanks for your help! Joecandeux (talk) 01:14, 17 December 2018 (UTC)

The Wikipedia:Citing sources page should explain the basics. WP:PRIMARY vs WP:SECONDARY will explain the difference, but Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources should be kept in-mind as well. GoodReads is a user-run site (see Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 249#goodreads.com), so no. To prove that the work existed, it should be enough though, but a secondary, reliable source would be a better choice. Something like a mention from Christianity Today or CCM Magazine. {{primary source inline}} are not tags of shame, they're intended to inform the reader that the sources are not as good as they could be and they're designed to help editors try to improve the reference, which is looks like is your goal.

Is that picture even the right Chris Rice? Not such a good Wikipedia page 2600:1700:579C:4010:E4E1:13D7:6CD2:56DF (talk) 01:56, 10 November 2022 (UTC)
