Edits to Raymone Bain

edit

Hi there and Welcome to wikipedia. Sorry, but I had to revert several changes you made to the Raymone Bain article. You see one of the reasons the article keeps getting nominated for deletion is because of all the promotional language in it- by this we mean unsourced claims, unencyclopedic language, lack of citations and references etc. The page looked like a really overdone press release from a PR firm, not an encylopedia article. You will need to find mention of the award published in a newspaper or list of recipients from a reliable, third party independent source to be able to put it in. If you know of any articles published on Miss Bain that mention it, the award can go back in. I looked, and couldnt find anything, but then, I dont have access to some US newspaper archives. An unsourced photomontage is not suitable, and not a reference you can use to support any claim. If you need any help formatting references, drop me a line on my talkpage Curdle (talk) 16:35, 2 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

  Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), such as at Wikipedia:Teahouse, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

  1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
  2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button   located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 22:11, 7 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
