User talk:Skinnzy

Hi,

I have recently created 3 articles using the AfC wizard, submitting 2, and was working on the third in a AfC page. When the first came back as accepted, I noticed that as a logged user, I could create articles myself and did not need to post a request.

Anxious to get my newest article up, I copy/pasted the text from the AfC page into a simple create page. Now I have a tag at the top of the finished article saying: This article has recently been created via the Articles for creation process. The reviewer is in the process of closing the request, and this tag should be removed soon. So I blanked the AfC page and put it up for speedy delete. Will this sort things out? Hopefully you can understand exactly what I've done. Here is the new article:

Atlantic Food and Horticulture Research Centre

(BTW, I'm wondering if I went overboard on the refs...?)

See Wikipedia:Copy and paste moves, it should be fine, but since the AFC submission has already been deleted I can't be sure. It would have been better to move the submission, but that doesn't matter now. Regarding, the references - they look good, well done. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 04:44, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

Actually I've requested a history merge just in case. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 04:51, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

Hello Skinnzy and thank you for reviewing my submission for actress and singer Lini Evans. While it's disappointing my first 'go' was rejected, I'm open to constructive criticism and determined to keep trying.

I'm having difficulty finding what exactly constitutes reliable sources in her case, so any help would be most appreciated. For example, in noting her multilingual singing performance for the renowned CCTV, should I cite http://space.tv.cctv.com/article/ARTI1240884117978397? (You'll see her name is in English just 2 lines above Avril's photo, amidst all the Chinese writing). There are pages and pages of reputable sources online about Lini, however many are in Chinese!

She is already cited on another Wikipedia page, see 2008 @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miss_Chinese_%28Vancouver%29_Pageant. How should this be referenced? Perhaps I should have added a [1] after her Reference for Fairchild TV?

Or would I also need to provide archived links to newspaper articles written about her? An entire article was written about Lini in the Vancouver SUN prior to her prestigious singing for Chinese Premier however, since it was in 1999 it's not easily accessible. Please note most of her highest-profile engagements are Invite-only and Live, attended by MLAs, premiers, mayors etc.

If her IMDb credits, which have all been verified BY IMDb prior to posting, are insufficient for Wikipedia, what else can prove Lini's film & tv credits?

I note a fellow actor/friend of hers, Ali Liebert, has no citations in her Stub Profile. Would this be a preferred option for Lini?

Thanks again and I look forward to your comments, Nate J.S. 02:54, 5 November 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nathanhoody (talk • contribs)
