Kenneth McDuff

Hi Dudley,

I'm interested in this edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kenneth_McDuff&diff=next&oldid=338471591 , specifically the claim that someone called 'Smithee' was involved in the case. Do you have a reference for this information? 'Smithee' is a well-known Hollywood pseudonym, so I'm suspicious of its uncited occurrence as a real name ... 109.224.131.181 (talk) 17:51, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Encyclopedic style of writing

Hi.

Wikipedia is no gossip magazine or a place for sensational styles of writing. For example alone-standing citations like ‘[...] the Duke was, "Absurdly negligent and stupid about his own affairs"’ are simply not found in encyclopedias. A text should, first of all, be moderate and balanced. This includes that a case, positive or negative, should not be given unproportionally broad attention.

Could it perhaps be a good idea to make your text more encyclopedic?

It could otherwise be worth reading some introductions, for example Wikipedia:BLP and Wikipedia:WWIN

Greetings,

Proposed deletion of Cartridge (surname)

No evidence of notability, fails WP:NNAME and WP:NOTDICT, sourced only to dictionaries and no other sources were found to show notability. I don't see redirecting as a viable WP:ATD due to the parenthetical disambiguator.
