Andover Hills, Lexington

Hi KYschools1, regarding the above article; I felt some of the content you added breached our WP:BLP policy; while the text was sourced it was removed because we don't consider these incidents, which had not been covered by major news sources, important enough to document on Wikipedia, per WP:NOTNEWS. Neither do we name non-notable people involved in these incidents; doing so can have real-world effects. The remaining prose is fine, though the locale's notability is now in question because it doesn't appear to have significant coverage in multiple reliable sources. Please don't let this put you off editing Wikipedia, but please keep these points in mind when you do. Best regards, Baffle gab1978 02:07, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Question about Andover Hills

Hi, Is there any ways I can improve the article Andover Hills, Lexington? I’m not sure which links I can use to improve it. Realtors isn’t a good source to use and that’s what I see when searching for facts to insert in the article. For example, there was a local car fire accident and I saw this source: [1]. Is there any links that provide facts about Andover Hills? KYschools1 (talk) 06:49, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again KYschools1, facts aren't enough; you need to find extensive coverage (more than a casual mention) of the locale in reliable, third-party sources (see here). Examples of reliable US news sources include The New York Times, Newsweek, USA Today, etc. – see here for a fuller (but by no means exhaustive) list. You're correct that the local property pages aren't acceptable sources. Local newspapers can sometimes be used if the information isn't reported elsewhere, but that seldom happens for notable incidents. If a volcano erupted or a big meteorite landed at Andover Hills, that would be notable and widely reported.
We don't cover minor crimes and incidents (car fires, petty crimes, dognappings) unless they are covered extensively in multiple, reliable sources; think about how many car fires happen every day, all over the world! We also don't add names of involved people who aren't notable (e.g.; Bill Place-Holder stole a car) because it invades their privacy and breaches our policy on living people. If there's anything else you need to know about Wikipedia, feel free to post a question at the Help desk. Best regards, Baffle gab1978 08:24, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

About Senate Bill 151

Hi, I just created a article regarding the Senate Bill 151, a controversial Kentucky bill introduced this year. Is the title of the article the correct name or do you think I have to move it to a new name? KYschools1 (talk) 06:52, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Copy edit of Don Ball (philanthropist)


I finished copy editing the article and I have some comments for you:

  • Try to stick to an encyclopedic style; it's not an obituary. You don't have the copy the tone or style from the source you're working with.
  • The article heavily depends on obituaries, which tend to provide a slanted view of a subject. Prefer third-party articles like the Lexington Herald-Leader's over the one published by the family—but there are still better sources out there you can balance out the article with. For example, I bet there is local news coverage from when he was a representative.
  • The article is sorely missing two things: what did he do in his home-building business, and what did he do for charitable work? The article says he got some awards for it, so it must be good. His involvement with horse breeding is probably also significant.
  • The website= parameter in citation templates is for the name of a website; don't just repeat the URL. For example if you were citing Wikipedia, you'd write "Wikipedia", not "en.wikipedia.org".
  • A citation at the end of a paragraph is generally assumed to support the whole paragraph. Most of the time you don't need to repeat the citation for every sentence, especially not if you don't have any other citations in that paragraph.
  • Be careful with your categorization—category:honorary degrees is for articles about honorary degrees, not for articles about people who received them.

You've got the essential skeleton, and a lot of different directions to expand in. Kim Post (talk) 07:11, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
