Proposed deletion of Lourett Russell Grant

The article Lourett Russell Grant has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

ResearchData575. how do I validate an article with news clippings which are not available online with a url?

Please help me with...

Researchdata99 (talk) 20:21, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a requirement that sources be online. The citation just has to give sufficient bibliographical information about the publication for someone to be able to look it up. This means that just "clippings", without identification of the newspaper or magazine they were clipped from, can't be used. You would also want to provide a publication date. See WP:Offline sources. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 20:43, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I want to use a newspaper a reference but I don't understand all the questions asked in the cite news form. Can someone help me . Most are just directing me to a link and I don't have much time to validate the artist that was on a ticle. It is a singer that was on a disco billboard chart . I have the exact date but I still don't understand the question on the citation. Please can't someone follow through with me until I get this right. I would really be grateful. researchdata575Researchdata99 (talk)

Not every field has to be filled in:

Last name - of author - you can leave this blank if there's no author
First name - of author - you can leave this blank if there's no author
Green plus sign: click on this to add additional fields for additional authors
Title - Title of article. Sentence case is preferred, but title case okay. All-caps is not okay.
URL - your clippings don't have a URL
Access date - without a URL, you can't have an access date
Work - name of the newspaper or magazine
Agency- if there's a distribution network, like AP or Reuters, I think it would go here, but you can leave blank
Issue - newspapers don't usually have an "issue", but magazines and journals may
Publisher - sometimes it's necessary to list a publisher separate from the name of the publication, but you don't need to fill this in
Date - publication date in the format appropriate for the article or yyyy-mm-dd, which is always acceptable; month and year for monthly magazine, etc.
Ref - you can leave this blank
Ref name - the only reason you'd need to fill this in is if you wanted to cite this article in more than one place; it's a name you make up, but should be fairly short, can relate to the author, date, subject; name should be unique within the scope of the page you are editing
Ref group - you can leave this blank

Hope this is helpful. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 06:44, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Hot to Trot (December 27)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by KJP1 was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This has four references, of which the most recent is thirty-seven years old. If the song had Notability, I would expect more recent references to support a claim to enduring significance.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Hot to Trot and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Hot to Trot, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and save.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Olympiodoros Military leader, bronze original in 280 B.C.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Olympiodoros Military leader, bronze original in 280 B.C.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused duplicate or lower-quality copy of another file on Wikipedia having the same file format, and all inward links have been updated.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Disambiguation link notification for January 4

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Rick Derringer, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Jake Hooker (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Reliable sources and significant content

Hi, Researchdata99. Your additons to Cleopatra have now been reverted twice. It might help if you were to carefully read Wikipedia's advice and policies on reliable sources, especially for Good and Featured articles. Unfortunately, your sources were adequate for the content you added, but the content itself was not adequate or appropriate. I strongy recommend that you read up on these issues before you consider adding the same content, or content based on critiques or comments about the same dancer. Thanks for reading this, Haploidavey (talk) 07:35, 8 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Layla Taj

Hi again. You appear to be trying to publicize Layla Taj by inserting statements about her and images of her dancing or photos of her impersonations in articles that essentially have nothing to do with her; for example, her impersonations of Nefertiti and Cleopatra VII. Please don't. Thanks, Haploidavey (talk) 08:42, 8 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

With reference to some of the text you've added, very little of it seems supported by the sources you've used; some of it seems to reflect only personal opinion, and has no support or commentary from any independednt, secondary or scholarly source. Please read WP:Peacock. Haploidavey (talk) 08:52, 8 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

We also should not depend on self-review, reviews at web-sites hostd by the subject, self-promotion by the subject or sites where by other editors promote sales of a subject's works (See Salome, and Dance of the Seven Veils). Haploidavey (talk) 12:19, 8 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Promotional

The sources used for the Layla Taj article are almost all promotional press-releases, notifying the public of planned performances (and the performer's background) before the performances themselves, based on what the subject says about themselves, plus embellishments by the Wikipedia editor. The subject's web-site offers videos for sale. At least one source is actually a blog, and is misused; the article text has "Some have noted that Taj's bloodline of ancient Greek nobility is justification for her depiction." In the blog, it's not "some", and it's not a justification. It's an observation that Taj's performance as Cleopatra is the only one by an Egyptian that the blogger (Abdi Ferdosa) knows of.

Wikipedia doesn't usually allow blogs as sources (see WP:Blog - not even when a very positive comment is made in response to that tiny part of the blog pertaining to Taj, just 2 days before the access date given by the WP editor. Haploidavey (talk) 06:23, 11 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've left the same information on Talk:Layla Taj. Haploidavey (talk) 06:48, 11 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
