Citation 3 & Names that already have an article but it's about the wrong person. & Multiple sources

1. Should I keep putting citation 3 over and over again? 2. What should I do when there is already an article for a name but it's the wrong person? 3. Should I look for more sources for the ones that are just releases from the Robert F. Kennedy Humman Rights site? InezSerrano (talk) 01:18, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

For 1. yes, you did it just right. 2. If there isn't an article for the person, either don't wikilink the name or wikilink it to a disambiguated title so that it doesn't go to the wrong person's article. For example, say an award winner was Sally Field, an investment banker. You could link it as [[Sally Field (banker)|Sally Field]], and that would display as a redlink so other editors would see that a possibly notable person doesn't have an article yet. 3. I think the RFK site is sufficient. Schazjmd (talk) 15:18, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Should we have the Ripple of Hope Award on this page?

I added it because there was some back and forth editing related to J. K. Rowling's award. I thought it would make things less confusing. There is still an error on J. K. Rowling's page, but I can't change it. I don't know if the Ripple of Hope Award should have a seperate page or something. InezSerrano (talk) 01:33, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ripple of Hope Award is currently a redirect to this article. It probably could be forked into its own article. I wish I could find out more about the history though. It's confusing; there was a Robert F. Kennedy Ripple of Hope Award back in the 1980s, but it seems to have been presented by something called The Mentor Network. There was also a Robert F. Kennedy Ripple of Hope Award in the 1990s, but it was related to tennis somehow and I couldn't trace the presenting organization. Schazjmd (talk) 15:18, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Flags.

I don't think that there should be flags on this page because nationality isn't very important. Should I remove the flags? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Icons#Inappropriate_use_2 InezSerrano (talk) 01:33, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, they should be removed. (BTW, instead of a URL to the Wikipedia page, you can make it a Wikilink like this: [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Icons#Inappropriate use 2]].) Schazjmd (talk) 15:18, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
