:Hi {{ul|Janeesussman}} - On the page, in the orphan box is a "Find tool link". Click on that, and it will show you pages on which Falk is mentioned. I find it easier to bring the other pages up in a separate tab, and then find Falk's name. Once you do that, you can edit that section of the other article, and simply put a wikilink around Falk's name, like this: [[Stephen Falk]]. I did the page for ''[[You're the Worst]]'', so you can review what I did on that page. Good luck. [[User:Onel5969|Onel5969]] ([[User talk:Onel5969#top|talk]]) 18:06, 5 March 2015 (UTC) |

16:50:18, 27 February 2015 review of submission by Leeharrispomeroy
Leeharrispomeroy (talk) 16:50, 27 February 2015 (UTC) I am trying to resubmit an article on the architect, Lee Harris Pomeroy. the article is at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Lee_Harris_Pomeroy_(2). It has been rejected twice but I have revised it adding many links to Wikipedia sources and other articles. I am new to Wikipedia. Please help me to get this article accepted. thank you Joan Ratner jratner@lhparch.com
- Hi Leeharrispomeroy - Please see WP:CIT on how to format references. Right now, your article technically has zero. What it does have are "raw links" in the body of the article, which is a no-no on Wikipedia. After you make the format corrections, let me know and I'll take a look at it. Right now, it's difficult to assess the article in its current shape. I hope this helps. Onel5969 (talk) 12:35, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

Good morning! Thanks for helping me with the "Stephen Falk" page. How do I get it to link to the "You're the Worst" page and the "Orange is the New Black" page and the "Weeds" page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Janeesussman (talk • contribs) 17:17, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

User Rasane, Draft:T.B. Narasimhachar
Hello! I have rewritten my article on T.B. Narasimhachar to avoid copyright violations. Considering that most of his writings were done in pre-internet era, I'm wondering how you'd like me to establish "notability". I've provided as many online links as I could, in the reference section. There is quite a bit of buzz around his works, this being his birth centenary year. I hope you can approve it soon. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rasane (talk • contribs) 19:18, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Rasane - The copyright issue is much better. Citations to the subject's own writings don't show notability, as they are not independent. Sources need to be from secondary sources about the subject. They also don't have to be online, so if you find references to him in books by other authors, or in newspaper/magazine articles which are not online, you can certainly use them as sources. Right now, the article also has raw links in the body of the article, which are a no-no. You should turn them into references. Also, there is an NPOV issue as well. I hope this helps.

21:14:53, 27 February 2015 review of submission by Elemont.aide
- Elemont.aide (talk · contribs)
I am requesting a re-review because I have edited the same problem multiple times. I keep getting told that I need to cite using footnotes, but somehow every reviewer has decided that a"Footnotes" section, and use of footnotes, don't count as footnotes.
I work for the Senator who is the subject of the article I am trying to publish, I am not just publishing this for kicks and giggles. I have been assigned this article creation by him and several other staffers, so it needs to be published ASAP. I'm not satisfied with the "cite using footnotes" line as a reason for decline because they are VERY OBVIOUSLY used in the article and I've read the recommended pages for using footnotes at least ten times. Trying to keep making these changes is beginning to waste a lot of valuable time. Elemont.aide (talk) 21:16, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
Elemont.aide (talk) 21:14, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
- Elemont.aide, you and the other staffers should check out Wikipedia's guidelines on Conflict of Interest (WP:COI). You cannot create or edit an article about your employer, so it's inappropriate for that to be a task that's assigned to you.
- Good luck.
Tung (talk) 21:40, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

- Hi Matthew.novitzky - It just doesn't appear this person meets the notability requirements. They have founded two non-notable entities. That's their claim to fame. Without more in-depth coverage, I don't see an article here. Sorry. Onel5969 (talk) 13:33, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
Olympic Animal Sanctuary Draft
Hi,
What do you need?
The OAS draft has 25 verifiable and RELIABLE sources that tell the OAS story.
"NOT" included in the draft is any personal attack of the director regarding him attacking a protestor or his criminal background.
There is no way to make this article into a story about a wonderful, warm and fuzzy animal sanctuary. That is NOT factual!!!
None of the draft is my opinion or expresses my opinion in any way.
The entire draft is 100% factual and only facts, with references to prove such without a shadow of a doubt!!
If you can be of any assistance, it will be greatly appreciated. :-)
Thank you very much for being part of Wiki, it is a very valuable asset!!!

Rsmith127 (talk) 17:21, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Rsmith127 - If you made the story it would fail based on an NPOV issue. That's not the problem. The issue is the article reads very informally. For example, the "Snaps" story doesn't belong in an encyclopedic article. You actually do a very good job of NOT having an NPOV issue (one way or another) in the Neglect section, but the entire section is written as if you're telling your friends the story, not writing an article. For example, the first sentence, "In the fall of 2012, former volunteers who had worked at the sanctuary, alleged the dogs were suffering from neglect." is in a very informal tone. A better way (and this is just an example, one of many possible avenues) might be: "In ___________ 2012, allegations of neglect were made by former volunteers of the shelter." I hope this helps.

Don Pendleton won a Grammy in 2015. Does he meet notability guidelines now? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oogatha (talk • contribs) 03:07, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
- Oogatha - If he won a Grammy, that is definitely one of the criteria as per WP:NMUSIC. Add a reference, and he should be approved, based on that alone. However, there are other issues with the article. For example, the quotes section should go away; the references need to be properly formatted (see WP:CIT); and there are other, little, formatting issues (italicizing titles of films, section heading capitalization). Once you correct those things, resubmit. Onel5969 (talk) 13:37, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
Unsigned comment about unknown article
Just curious, which two sources are the non-notable entities and why? Have a great day! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:302:D90:CE39:CC1A:8B6F:9D28:8861 (talk) 16:47, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
RE: Olympic Animal Sanctuary
Your suggestions are very helpful. :-)
The Snaps article was included to show some of the success OAS had, my attempt at a NPOV. It will be removed.
I'll rewrite the article and formalize the tone.
IMO, the article reads similar to the "Bad Newz Kennels dog fighting investigation" article that is already published on Wiki...??
Unlike Bad Newz Kennels, there was never a real investigation of OAS and abuse charges were never filed. The owner simply succumbed to the protests and decided to close OAS on his own accord. No real story on that issue.
Thanks, Ron

Tradesy
Hi Onel5969,
Thank you so much for reading the wikipedia article I submitted. I know the first one which was written by our former writer was not from a neutral point of view, but we did make considerable changes for the current one making sure it's from a neutral point of view and with sources cited. You can see where the citations came from. I understand why the first article was rejected, however, this one seems to meet the guidelines. Were your concerns about any particular paragraph?
I'm a long time supporter of wikipedia and I love what it stands for, however, I would really appreciate additional feedback about what needs to change to meet the guidelines. Everything in this article is cited and from a neutral tone of voice.
Thank you for your feedback and your assistance.

- Hi ElizaSh - phrases such as "platform enables users to to buy and sell", "Tradesy charges a 9% seller commission", "provides free shipping" are all advertising. In addition phrases like "DiNunzio envisioned an expansion of the peer-to-peer concept, from a weddings related marketplace to a broader, women’s clothing resale site." are definitely NPOV in nature. When the history section deals mostly with $$ raises, that doesn't help either. Right now, the subject only seems to be notable because they raised money.Onel5969 (talk) 03:41, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

04:40:15, 2 March 2015 review of submission by 216.49.47.213
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
When profiling me for its own website, PLAZA NOIR used my own personally written bio on its link. It is basically the same bio found on my OWN website <www.michaelstephans.com>, and in the Encyclopedia of Jazz (Lewis Porter, Ed.), and on the jazz website, <www.allaboutjazz.com> and on my author page at amazon.com.
This and other data was submitted on my behalf initially by Mr. Gene Perla MONTHS ago and has been refined several times according to guidelines established by Wikipedia. Please advise as to how this process might be expedited. It appears to be dragging on and on, e.g., One reviewer requests that a modification be made; the modification is completed -- only to have the draft rejected by another reviewer. THIS HAS BEEN A VERY DRAWN OUT, FRUSTRATING PROCESS!!! Please advise how AND WHAT EXACTLY to modify/update/correct/whatever, so we can get on with this, fix it, and get this entry up and running. We need YOUR HELP, PLEASE !!

216.49.47.213 (talk) 04:40, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Michael - Sorry you feel frustrated. I looked at the history of the draft, and I can only see where it's been declined once prior to my declining it a couple of weeks ago. Sometimes, as editors, if we get severely backlogged on reviewing drafts, we don't have time to list all the issues with an article. We should, that way a page author can deal with everything at once. So here are the issues with the article. First, there is a potential conflict of interest, this close relationship does not preclude your friend from writing the article, but does mean that editors will look closely at any potential neutral point of view issues. While your article does not necessarily have any NPOV issues, the overall informal tone of the article can make it appear so; this is the second issue with the article (and another that it would be declined for). Phrases like "and many others", "Stephans leads three distinct but interrelated lives", "played with personalities", give the article an informal, un-encyclopedic tone. The third issue is the same issue which was mentioned by the previous editor who gave a link to help with the formatting of citations, which still needs to be corrected. The fourth issue is formatting, please see WP:MOS for how to format album, book, song, and article names. The fifth issue is the copyvio one. If you want to donate the material, the process is detailed at WP:DCM. I hope this helps. Onel5969 (talk) 13:19, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi,
This in reference to this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Jef_Boeke.

Request on 09:06:49, 2 March 2015 for assistance on AfC submission by Tcannonrb
Hi
Thanks for your review. Could you advise on how best to make changes so I can publish?
Would emailing permissions-en@wikimedia.org and granting permission to copy material (specifically the press release work)? We own the copyright. If so what should the email cover and is there specific wording?
I read that I should then place OTRS pending on the talk page?
Thanks Again
Tcannonrb (talk) 09:06, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Tcannonrb - the process for donating copyrighted material can be found HERE. The references to the benefits of folks who use the survey should be deleted, as they are promotional in nature. Hope this helps. Onel5969 (talk) 13:55, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
Hi Onel5969 thanks for that - Is it all the references or specific ones? Also is that the main issue or is it a copyright issue? If so which bits? Trying to figure out the best course of action. Tcannonrb (talk) 14:43, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Tcannonrb - The article also has a promotional tone to it. Articles should TELL us about the subject, not provide SALES information. The second and third paragraphs are clearly promotional in nature. Also an issue with the International Accommodation Quality Mark wording. Onel5969 (talk) 03:21, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
Onel5969 I have made a number of changes to sourcing and wording. If you could look to see if this is better that would be great then I will resubmit. So you know I have also only kept the references of those who benefit where they have demonstrated how they use the survey operationally. I think I have removed the ones where it was used for an award win etc. (Tcannonrb (talk) 11:23, 4 March 2015 (UTC))
Article Submission
Hey there, Onel5969, thanks for reviewing my article draft. I actually have a question regarding one of my submissions. I'm not quite sure about the notability of organizations (I did have some secondary sources?)? Do you mind taking the time to explain this to me as well as 'verifiability?' Site: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Emerging_Strategy Thanks a lot! Debtang1019 (talk) 09:51, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Debtang1019 - most of the sources you have are for verifying purposes - meaning that they verify the underlying facts of the article. Notability are overall articles from secondary, reliable sources (that are not niche sources), showing that subject is notable). Onel5969 (talk) 03:45, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
Ruggero Vanni
Hello Onel5969,
Thank you for reviewing the page I submitted: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Ruggero_Vanni
I have been leaving in the States for 25 years but I got my degree in contemporary art history in Italy and I know that my written English is not perfect. Before resorting to take your time, I did try to understand where the problem with my footnotes resides, but I don't quite see where I failed to meet the proper criteria. I would greatly appreciate if you could guide me on how to address this problem. I really want to learn how to properly write my submissions because I intend to write entries on several accomplished artists. But before waisting more time of Wikipedia's editors, I would like to make sure I am on the right track.
Thank you,

Stephen Falk orphan
Stephen Falk's page says it's in an orphan. What should I do with this? Please advise!! Many thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Janeesussman (talk • contribs) 17:11, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
- Janeesussman - in the announcement box, there's a "find links tool". Click it, and it will bring up a list of potential articles which refer to Falk. Some will not refer to the Falk your article is on, but some will. Open the link to the new article, then edit that article, by putting double brackets around the first reference to Stephen Falk, like I've done here. After you do that for all the pertinent articles (you don't have to do it for all of them, but since this is the article you created, you may want to), you can remove the tag at the top of Falk's page. It's not that difficult. Onel5969 (talk) 17:36, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
Nsolcis
hi, my name is nsolcis you denied my request to add my article about Leba on wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:LeBA It seems your are requiring more links from notable print or websites? how many are needed?
thank you for your help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nsolcis (talk • contribs) 17:32, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Nsolcis - there's no set number. Right now you only have one good citation for notability purposes: the South Bend article, and since more than half of it is an interview, even that is not great (interviews are primary sources, and notability references need to be secondary sources). The LA Mag citation is okay, but very brief. YouTube is not a trustworthy source, and the RS citation doesn't even mention the article's subject, in fact, it appears to contradict some of the information in the article, since it says the mural was solely done by someone else. The other two citations are simple listings, which are good to verify facts in the article, but not for notability purposes. Just my opinion, but I would say you should find at least 3 more good references. Hope this helps. Onel5969 (talk) 13:58, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
Rejection of correction to wiki Non Evans
Correction of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non_Evans by BancAtebion
Greetings. You recently rejected my submission to amend an incorrect Date Of Birth and its corroborating reference. What further evidence is required to allow reversion to the accurate data?

- Hi BancAtebion, and welcome to Wikipedia! Just add a source. Right now, there is a source listed in the lead of the article (the first paragraph), which is a "dead link". But the fact that there was a link, makes me want to have a new source in order to change the date of birth. Happy editing. Onel5969 (talk) 14:01, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

- Hi JPanic15 - I think the corrections you made, although slight, have gotten rid of the informal tone of the prior version. Nice work. I think, however, that you might need another couple of good references to show his notability. At least one of the CTV links is dead (as happens frequently with links to videos, that's why they are not used often). Onel5969 (talk) 14:12, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for your suggestions for improving this submission. The question that I have is how to show evidence of "notability." The subject of the article is an academic and author of books in his field. Should I add references and quotes from independent reviews of these works. About 20 published reviews of these works have appeared in scholarly publications, and a large number of citations of research reports have appeared. Should I add quotations from these sources in the different sections of the Wikipedia article?
- Hi Bobowikibobo - regarding notability, take a look at WP:NACADEMICS on what would make an academic notability. The reviews are good things, and you can list them under references, like you currently have done for the 3 there. Quotes should only be used to make certain points. Also, please take a look at WP:MOS and MOS:LAYOUT for formatting tips (e.g., don't add bold or italics to section headings). Hope this helps Onel5969 (talk) 14:55, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

Draft article rejection
Hello - I've just seen that an article I submitted for review - Draft:Teenage_Time_Killers - has been rejected following your review, with the feedback that it is not written in the "encyclopedic" style that is expected. I was wondering if you could offer more specific feedback as to which parts you feel do not meet the guidance.

- Burlington Bert - First, use of peacock terms like "supergroup", "famed"; and terms like: "The list of guest artists then grew from there", give the article an informal feel. Coupled with the fact that a large part of the article is taken up by a quote and a list of performers, and the article and the article reads informally. Also, please see WP:CIT on how to properly format your citations. Onel5969 (talk) 14:03, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
Draft article rejection
Hello - Thank you for reviewing my article - Draft:VBox_Home_TV_Gateway - I saw that you rejected it as it is not written in the encyclopedic. I was wondering if you could offer more specific feedback as to which parts you feel do not meet the guidance. The feedback seems very general and I would like to amend and resubmit, but would like more specifics in order to do so. Many thanks User:Rimavich (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 13:39, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

- Susheelseth25 - The article needs to tell us about the company, not sell the company's products. Phrases like "which has grown to address inventory recording and management needs of business enterprises" are promotional in nature. When you take into account the brevity of the article, that one sentence gives it an overall advertising aspect. Onel5969 (talk) 14:17, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
The Morris Quinlan Experience
The Morris Quinlan Experience
Hello
You've just declined this article (3rd March 2015) on the grounds of not being sufficiently notable. However, I believe at least two of Wikipedia's notability guidelines are indeed met for this ensemble, as follows...
"1. Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent from the musician or ensemble itself.[note 1] This criterion includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, books, magazine articles, online versions of print media, and television documentaries[note 2] except for the following: Any reprints of press releases, other publications where the musician or ensemble talks about themselves, and all advertising that mentions the musician or ensemble, including manufacturers' advertising.[note 3]
Works consisting merely of trivial coverage, such as articles that simply report performance dates, release information or track listings, or the publications of contact and booking details in directories."
Album reviews in The Times and Melody Maker, as well as the feature article in the Newcastle Journal were all independently written, and despite being unavailable online, are all verifiable.
"12. Has been a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national radio or TV network."
Does not the group's live appearance as guests on Ned Sherrin's Loose Ends programme on BBC Radio 4 (Saturday 11th August 2001) count here? It was a segment of approaching 10 minutes duration, during which Sherrin gave a lengthy introduction to the band, and talked further about them after their live performance of one of their pieces, all in front of a live audience. Most notably, the segment was repeated on the Loose Ends Pick Of The Year show at the end of 2001.
The band can not yet claim 'rotation' play for any of their releases, but they are regulars on Bob Harris's BBC Radio 2 Sunday Show (considered to be a very influential rock music programme, if not the most influential currently on UK radio), and indeed a playlist search shows they have received more Bob Harris plays than even (for instance) Kate Bush!!!
That said their most recent singe release 'Scarborough Fair' received multiple plays on the Radio 2 network, not just from Bob Harris.
BBC Radio 4 and BBC Radio 2 are major national radio networks in the UK.
One of the band's members, Dave Maughan, is well known as a record producer, having recorded and produced Mercury Music Prize nominated Little Black Numbers album by Kathryn Williams, who herself has guested on an MQE released track. Would it be helpful to this article if Dave Maughan had a Wikipedia entry?
Hoping you can reconsider the article...

Hi there, I really need some help. I have looked at other articles and ours has been declined https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Elizabeth_%27Lizzie%27_Sophia_Sider This is what you wrote to me This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms, that are designed to promote or show-off the subject. It seems pretty formal to me. Can you please be more specific? This is kind of frustrating as I am not a great writer and this is one of our clients and I would love to get this resolved. Any specific help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time. Bbentllc (talk) 18:16, 3 March 2015 (UTC)bbentllc
- Bbentllc - First of all, you have the trivia of her singing national anthems in the lead. Second, you have this long, completely uncited, section on musical beginnings, which is mostly again trivia. That entire section could be cut down to 3-4 lines. Comments about donations also don't belong in the article. Also make sure that facts like chart #'s, and views need citations. Hope this helps. Onel5969 (talk) 14:48, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

I think I’ve found a good solution to fix the defect in the submission. Among the many reviews of the author’s books and the hundreds of citations in journals, I found a representative sample of scholars and research scientists in the field who have evaluated the work of this project in professional peer-reviewed publications. In the article I inserted quotations from these authors: Alexis Kirke and Eduardo Miranda (Plymouth University) Jane Hill (University of Arizona) Yi Xu (University of Pittsburg) Mihye Han (University of New Mexico) Vasiliki Chondrogianni (Bangor University). I was careful to select quotes that would actually be interesting to the reader and had content directly related to the themes in the article. As soon as I proofread the article, I’ll resubmit.

My Adele Poston article
Hi, Thank you for reviewing my Adele Poston contribution back in January! I was happy to see you are a New Yorker! You probably moved to get away from the snow but it's really lovely snowing this evening!
Anyway, I made some of your suggested changes to the document, but was confused about the citations. I think I need to hyperlink every number to the citation, correct? Is the form okay just not the linking to the citations?
I would also like to add back the photo of Adele from WWI which someone removed. I sent an email from her living family who own the photo, with their permission, to Wikipedia email address. Is there anything else I need to do? Thanks so much.
This is my first attempt at putting something on Wikipedia and I'm a bit overwhelmed!

Draft:Acoustic liner
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Acoustic_liner
First and foremost thanks for reviewing my article.
I can understand your comment about terms like "basically" or "interesting evolution". On the other hand, I do not understand why while I cite a reference using something like "as shown by Jones et.el.[5]" is giving the feeling that this is an informal essay. This is the way I cite references on my scientific articles. Should I use a different way to cite an article on wikipedia?
Thanks for the clarification.
Best regards Dr.eng.dc (talk) 12:04, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
- Dr.eng.dc - on Wikipedia, you simply state the fact, then give the reference to back it up. You don't even need to use any part of that. For instance, the sentence could simply read: "The acoustic liners' performance can be verified by means of ground tests on real scale engines", with the two reference notes at the end. Onel5969 (talk) 03:37, 5 March 2015 (UTC)made
Ok, thank you. I have the modifications. Best regards Dr.eng.dc (talk) 07:41, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

Dear Onel5969, Thank you so much for your help! I am so excited and will look at how to make it a higher class article. Thank you for taking me under your wing. This has been an interesting learning process. I am very interested in WWI, too, and especially nursing in WWI. I am in process of clarifying copyright issues so her WWI photo can be uploaded.
Diannaa (editor) also helped me and I am grateful to both of you. I heard from the permission person and am investigating the photo copyright further. I hope to get her on a USPS postage stamp so these efforts are doubly important!!

finding an editor to write an article about Lee Harris Pomeroy.
It has been suggested by Justlettersandnumbers at Wikipedia that I may have a conflict of interest in writing this article. I am an employee of Lee Harris Pomeroy Architects.

My issue is well after the tail hook scandle and and ordnance accident burning AO3 Brian Powers (my shipmate) and the infamous "Tea and Cookies" comment. I had a bad expierience well before all the female pilots and ordnance mishap aboard USS Saratoga. I have A copy of the investigation on pdf aproximately 200 pages; the response is libleous to me, but all things considered I demanded a court-martial but was refused. However I was allowed to complete my final fifty-four months with an Honorable discharge. I was at quarters when Commander Michael Longworth pinned the Silver Star on Gillespie in 1988. A lot of story about this infamous man, but one cannot source this type information I possess anywhere on the WWW furthermore the national archives refused to release it, but I finally got the CNO to release it to me simply because I made the complaint. I do not have much free time, but if someone would like my info to gain insight how the military cleverly covers-up wrong doing; it shall be an interesting read.

- Hi Reelnrod007 - The issue is that while sources don't necessarily have to be accessible over the internet, they do have to be accessible to the public. If they're not, that pretty much amounts to original research, which is a no-no on Wikipedia. Especially if the information is contentious, or might be deemed defamatory in any way. Thanks for sharing your story, though, and thank you for your service. Onel5969 (talk) 13:52, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

Carroll F. Gray
Onel5969 (talk) 13:30, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Carroll F. Gray - First, please always sign your comments with the four ~ , that way other editors can understand which editor they are speaking with. Second, sorry about your attempts to message me. Another editor who had left a prior message had left some code in their message which hid anything written after it, so your attempts did not show. I've corrected that.
- Now, on to about what you are truly interested in, your article. Aside from the citation issue, there are a few other changes you should make. First, lose the dialogue between the subject and an interviewer. Doesn't belong in an encyclopedia article. Instead, transform it into prose and in your own words describe the gist of that conversation, then use the current citation to back up that prose. Second, the long list of exhibitions, etc. should also be converted into prose, with the reference to the subject's CV used at the end. I've temporarily reformatted based on it as a list, but prose is always stronger. Hit the highlights, and add a summation. Third, after the Hollingsworth quote, the next paragraph deals with "him". Is this referring to Hollingsworth? Or the article's subject? It's unclear. Fourth, check your redlinks. Several actually do have wikipages, you simply haven't connected to them correctly, e.g. Grand Rapids Art Museum instead of Grand Rapids Arts Museum. Fifth, and finally, check out WP:CIT regarding how to format your references. Anyway, hope this helps, and keep on editing! Onel5969 (talk) 13:45, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

I find it easier to bring the other pages up in a separate tab, and then find Falk's name. Once you do that, you can edit that section of the other article, and simply put a wikilink around Falk's name, like this: Stephen Falk. I did the page for You're the Worst, so you can review what I did on that page. Good luck. Onel5969 (talk) 18:06, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
