Installation

I've done my best (ref-wise) to help get this article kick-started. There is of course two orphan ref tags still generating errors, but I'm sure you (the creator) will easily be able to locate and address them. Good luck, and stay well! :) -- WikHead (talk) 14:26, 23 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Removed broken ref

I have removed the reference tag <ref name="Weekly Planet" /> that was not defined in the references list and was causing an error. I searched for Weekly Planet to try and find a reference to Lennie but found nothing. Any help with this reference would be appreciated. 64.40.54.21 (talk) 22:36, 23 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Good work! I would have removed that myself, but assumed the creator may just have forgotten to paste it in. -- WikHead (talk) 22:46, 23 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

note from creator/author

THANKS folks! yeah i'll be continuing to locate source confirmations, all further HELP is appreciated! meanwhile i stand by all the facts currently entered, as i'm sure confirmation exists... questions though: are Japanese-language credits valid? protocol? &... i happen to have hardcopy of illustrations printed in newspapers which are now defunct several years (Screw; New York Press), would those fall under "public domain" and be post-able within this article??

"are Japanese-language credits valid?" Yes, they are valid.
"protocol?" You can add references in any fashion that you're comfortable with.
References don't have to be online. If you have a reference in a magazine, book, newspaper or whatever, you can just add it.
In general, references are used to show notability. This article Ypasses because it has more than 2 references from relaible sources that show notability.
References are also used to verify details stated as facts, but only when the facts are questioned or likely to be questioned. I think you've covered all the facts anybody would question, so the article Ypasses that too.

So I'd say you don't have to work on referencing anymore. If somebody has a concern, they will add a {{fact}} tag that looks like this.^{[citation needed]}. Then somebody, anybody can fix it by adding a reference at that time.

"i happen to have hardcopy of illustrations printed in newspapers which are now defunct several years (Screw; New York Press), would those fall under "public domain" and be post-able within this article??" Sorry, it won't be in the public domain. For illustrations and other artwork, the copyright is still held by the artist (or their family) for 70 years after their death. But I'm not an expert. You can read more about it at Wikipedia:Public domain#When does copyright expire?. To use any illustrations like those you mention, you would need to have a reference that talks about that specific illustration and you'd need to write a fair-use rationale for it. Also, the image would have to be reduced in size to 300 pixels wide or smaller. You can read more at WP:NFC and WP:NFCC.

Kind regards. 64.40.54.78 (talk) 10:42, 24 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
