Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
No edit warring or sock puppetry.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Using IMDb as a source

Hi, and thanks for your contributions to the article Phil foster. I'm leaving you this note to let you know that the IMDb is acceptable as a source for only certain information, as per Wikipedia:Citing IMDb. Any articles about actors have to satisfy the notability requirements for people in general and actors in particular. As well, since he is still alive, an article about him will need to conform to Wikipedia's policy on biographies of living persons. Thank you. --Drm310 (talk) 00:30, 13 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Phil foster

Hello, Justinlovesfilms. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Phil foster, for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. If you don't want Phil foster to be deleted, please add a reference to the article.

If you don't understand this message, you can leave a note on my talk page.

Thanks, VViking_TalkEdits 00:42, 13 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your reference

Hi again. There's a couple of problems with the reference you added at Phil foster. First, references used to verify a certain statement should be placed immediately after the statement. That's referred to as an inline citation. You can get more help on how this is done at Help:Referencing for beginners.

The other problem is the source itself. It appears to be a fan-run site or blog, which is a type of source referred to as a self-published source. Self-published sources can only be used with great caution, particularly as a source for a biography of a living person. To quote that policy, "Some news organizations host online columns that they call blogs, and these may be acceptable as sources so long as the writers are professionals and the blog is subject to the newspaper's full editorial control. Posts left by readers are never acceptable as sources."

To prove this person's basic notability, you'll have to find some non-trivial coverage in sources that are considered reliable. --Drm310 (talk) 21:40, 13 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
