Masiela Lusha

Hello. As a point of policy, I could only find one link in the additions that you made to this article that are permissible on Wikipedia. Wordpress is a self-published blog and not permissible under WP:ELNO, as is poemhunter.com. An unspecified link to a talent agency confirms nothing and may be interpreted as inappropriate promotional material, as does linking to Barnes & Noble, which is a sales site. The boxxnet link is questionable, but does not support the content it is supposed to support. Finally, IMDB biographies are not considered reliable sources as there is no editorial oversight to fact check and verify the content of the biography. Also in passing, if you are connected in anyway to agents, publicists or other organizations that represent Lusha, you cannot edit her article due to conflict of interest. If you are connected to her in this way, you may make suggestions on the article talk page and non-involved editors will respond. Thank you. Wildhartlivie (talk) 22:59, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Please do not revert the removal of this content. There is nothing in your addition that can be used because none of it is cited to sources that are permissible. Wordpress is never a permissible source. The image does have a mark but the image was uploaded by the photographer and released under Creative Commons license and is absolutely acceptable. Is your photo from the same event this one? Wildhartlivie (talk) 23:20, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I do not see any links that you added to major magazines. The only links I find that you added were to wordpress, boxxnet, IMDB, and poemhunter, none of which are permissible under WP:RS and WP:EL, and one to http://www.masielalushafoundation.org/ which might be permissible. What major magazines did you include? The only magazine links I find that were added today were by an editor who has identified him or herself as an agent for Lusha.

It would be best to add the links you find to the article talk page at Talk:Masiela Lusha. There have been major issues regarding this article and unsourced content, which is why nothing that isn't reliably sourced at the addition must be removed. If there are errors in the existing article, please list those on the talk page as well. I think the image is something that can wait, because we currently do have an approved image in place. I appreciate your desire to improve the article, but you have to understand the burden of verification under our policy governing biographies of living persons. Thanks.

(outdent) I am going to move your post to me to the talk page for Lusha so that other editors can weigh in on this content and sourcing. It would help for you to read WP:RS, describing what a makes a reliable source. The collegebound website isn't considered a reliable source. The Parade article does not support a claim of being the youngest author in the world to publish anything, nor does collegebound say who named her that or who named her one of the Top 10 talented poets. We can't include content that amounts to puffery and over-promotion. I'm very hesitant to add anything over-promoting what the Parade article says is a self-published book. ILW is self-published in a blog format and myspace and hollywoodsuccess are also self-published sources. The Illuminary website and IMDB filmography listings can support any work. In order to access the Hollywood Reporter website, membership is required and isn't acceptable because of that. I'm also concerned that some of these sources are the same links as submitted by her agent. In any case, this is being moved to Talk:Masiela Lusha. Wildhartlivie (talk) 01:10, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Please do not add content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did to Masiela Lusha. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Sorry to do this, but you continue to ignore legitimate reasons for not being to accept these sources. It's an issue Wikipedia takes seriously, either find acceptable sources under WP:RS or do not return this content. Wildhartlivie (talk) 19:55, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
