Help with Kristóf Nyíri citations

Hi Matthew,

I'm Lora. I am also a university student. But I'm single.

Regarding my submission: Kristóf Nyíri, which is inadequately supported by reliable sources... I am creating this account for Kristóf Nyíri himself, so I have spoken with him on many occasions. I realize this might fall under truth and not reliability, so I would like to clarify which sections of the submission you think require stronger citations. It would help me if you could let me know which sentences/ facts need alternate citations because in other wikipedia articles I have read, many facts are not cited at all, and the article has still been approved.

Please let me know, and thanks for the help. --LAinNJ (talk) 19:50, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, LAinNJ! Welcome to Wikipedia!
The citations used in your article are useless, because they're by the subject. You're not establishing notablility by using these citations. Wikipedia sourcing is backwards compared to academic sourcing, we want as many third party sources as possible.
If you revise your article and include third party sources, it's much more likely to be accepted. Good luck! ~ Matthewrbowker Talk to me 01:21, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Re-editing Rehearsal Club page

Hey Matthew -- any specific help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. The Rehearsal Club is/was a girl's residence for theater women. Opened in 1913 and celebrating a Centennial next year, 2013. We are trying to record our history using Wikipedia.

All the information listed has been validated . . . can you help me edit what would make the page more readable?

I can be reached directly at <EMAIL REDACTED ~ Matthewrbowker Talk to me 01:19, 24 June 2012 (UTC)> Denise — Preceding unsigned comment added by DenisePence (talk • contribs) 20:09, 23 June 2012 (UTC) [reply]

Hi, Denise! Welcome to Wikipedia!
The reason I declined your article is that I have no darn clue what it's about. Your post on my talk page was more clear than the article itself.
Why don't you revise your article, including a lead and a history section? Make it chronological. Support all the information with citations, and make sure that anyone can understand what your article is about. When you do that, you've got a great chance of the articlebeing accepted.
If I can be of more assistance, feel free to reply below. Good luck! ~ Matthewrbowker Talk to me 01:19, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thomas Sanderling on englsih Wikipedia

Hi Matthew, hope you can help me, do not know what else to do to create a post for Thomas Sanderling who really is a famous conductor and has a reliable german wiki page. What else can I do to make the text reliable? Thanks for your help! Al Al Busche (talk) 13:48, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Al! Welcome to Wikipedia!
The thing your submission is missing is references. The only references I see are primary sources and a link to the German Wikipedia (which violates WP:CIRCULAR).
I'd recommend that you find other, reliable sources, like newspapers and books. Once you do that, your page should establish notablility better.
Good luck! Feel free to reply below if you have any other questions. ~ Matthewrbowker Talk to me 02:18, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thomas Moore on Lily Kershaw's notability

Concerning the notablility of Lily Kershaw, i refer to the notable musicians article, item 10: Has performed music for a work of media that is notable, e.g. a theme for a network television show, performance in a television show or notable film, inclusion on a notable compilation album, etc.

Her song "As it Seems" was the song played during the ending seen of the season finale and was extremely popular. The reference to the show "Criminal Minds" has her as the singer/songwriter of that song as well as an actress on a previous episode of the show. A person who is both a character in one season and a contributing singer in another episode of the same major TV series is rare and notable. She also has appeared on other very popular TV series as referenced. Since I turned to Wikipedia myself to find out more about her and found that she did not have an entry, I felt she was notable enough to warrant a page.

If I simply need better formed references, please let me know. Thanks, Thom Tmoore (talk) 19:03, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Thom! Welcome to Wikipedia!
You're right, we do need better references. You're currently citing Facebook and a television piracy cite. Neither of these establish notability. It would be a good idea if you found reliable sources, like newspapers and books.
Once you do to that, your article should be a lot better off. Good luck! ~ Matthewrbowker Talk to me 02:21, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Understood. I have replaced the references and removed the Facebook reference but left it in as an external link. I will continue to look for better sources, but I believe this person is notable enough to at least get this limited entry into the wiki. Regards, Thom Tmoore (talk) 13:46, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

(Garyshack (talk) 07:08, 26 June 2012 (UTC)) Hi Matthewrbowker,[reply]

I noticed that you rejected my contribution due to the lack of references. I already included references from Reuters, Inquirer.net (a local newspaper) and public stock exchange website in the Philippines since the company is listed publicly with DMC as its symbol. I hope it will already merit your approval.
