Band and bio articles

edit

It's not just you. About a thousand articles a day are deleted from Wikipedia. A big fraction of those are band and biographical articles. In general, trying to put yourself, your friends, or your group into Wikipedia doesn't work. It can backfire, too; see WP:VAIN. Thanks. --John Nagle 20:23, 14 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Re: Kiki Carter

Hello....I think the best way to do it would be with footnotes. The most common way of doing this is, after the sentence you want the footnote to refer to, I think you add the following: <ref>[http://URLaddress.com Link Title], supporting info (dates, publication stuff, etc.)</ref>.

For print sources and other ways of handling this, WP:FOOT is a good resource. That's the best I can tell you, since I haven't used footnotes too much (haven't edited a lot of articles requiring them), but that page should help. Good luck! -- H·G (words/works) 01:24, 15 July 2006 (UTC)Reply


I've cleaned up a bit. It's probably best to look at the format of similar articles, to see how consistently you can follow that. For example:

  • The main section of most articles is only a short summary of who they are and why they are notable; I reformatted it that way.
  • When you reference another article, the first reference should be linked. Wiki articles can have too many links anyway; multiple links to the same article tends to exacerbate that.
  • There may be too much detail here, making it hard to find the notable parts. There's more detail than articles about much more famous people, and that family tree doesn't seem to fit into the narative.

I split it into sections to make it a bit easier to navigate. By following other article's format, removing extra links; maybe remove some uneccesary detail and references, and adding some relevant external links, it should help it. Sanbeg 14:49, 17 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

There seems to be a fair amount of duplicatate links, between the references and sources sections. This should be cleaned up. When possible, it would be good to link the title of the reference (i.e. rather than having generic anchortext like "online story"). Since she doesn't seem to get signifigant hits from search engines, it's important to have meaningful links to help establish notability. But don't try to overcompensate with duplicate links and things that may not be relevant. Sanbeg 17:58, 19 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

License tagging for Image:Kiki Carter.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Kiki Carter.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 03:05, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Dlspace72.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Dlspace72.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MBisanz talk 03:21, 17 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
