Hi Adrian8076,

There are citations in the article that covers the lead. Is it necessary to include the citations there again when they can be found within the body of the article? and since the lead is more like a short summary of the article. Stanleytux (talk) 14:22, 19 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Stanleytux, If there are citations for those parts then feel free to remove the "Citation needed" notices however it'd still be best to include citations in the lead. See the article Genevieve Nnaji Adrian Guildford (talk) 15:04, 19 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

GA nominees

Hi. I see that you're new here. I'm glad you're enthusiastic to contribute but you would do well to learn about Wikipedia before boldly charging forward. For example, I noticed that you re-nominated the Pope Benedict XVI article for good article status. As WP:GAI says, "Articles can be nominated by anyone, though it is highly preferable that they have contributed significantly and are familiar with the subject". Perhaps you're confused about that? That article has been re-nominated twice in the last couple years by more accomplished editors than you and they both failed, so I don't see how you can do any better. You have no edits on the article and I don't see any evidence of knowledge on the subject. My concern is that you'll waste the time of a reviewer that will specify what needs to be fixed and you'll be unwilling or unable to do so. You've nominated 10 other biographical articles for GA today alone!

So, if bringing these articles up to GA is work you're willing to do you are welcome to try. Be advised that GA isn't a throw-away process where you simply nominate it and wait to see if you win the lottery. I recommend you learn how to edit, get experience reverting vandalism, and start small. Again, we're happy to have you pitch in; just be careful not to bite off more than you can chew.

I noticed you have nominated Alan Rickman for GA. I can't obviously see any reason to fail it, but I think you are fortunate that a death of a living person is normally results in their articles being greatly improved partly because there are suddenly well-written online obituaries to source from, and their death puts attention on everyone to look at the article and fix it. I certainly am sceptical you would know that the article covers the "Broad in coverage" and "Focused" parts of the GA criteria - I think over time the "Death" section will not be as important as you think it is now.

The Wikipedians we lose

By the way, in regards to your user page we keep track of deceased Wikipedians at WP:RIP and Wikipedians that quit editing at WP:MIA. So to answer your question, sometimes people do notice and do care. Chris Troutman (talk) 10:48, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@ Chris troutman Nice :) That was useful. Thanks! Adrian Guildford (talk) 16:58, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
