==COI== |

Looking at your contributions regarding Jennifer Thomas and her works, please note that if [[WP:COI|conflict of interest]] ou must declare it. If you work directly or indirectly for her or an organisation, or otherwise are acting on her behalf, you are very strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. If you are paid directly or indirectly by the organisation you are writing about, you are '''<u>required</u> by the [[wmf:TOU|Wikimedia Terms of Use]] to disclose your employer, client and affiliation.''' You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at [[User:{{ROOTPAGENAME}}]]. The template {{tl|Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: <span style="font-size:85%;"><tt><nowiki>{{</nowiki>paid|user={{BASEPAGENAME}}|employer=''InsertName''|client=''InsertName''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></tt></span>. If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. Note that editing with a COI is discouraged, but permitted as long as it is declared. Concealing a COI can lead to a block. Please do not edit further until you respond to this message. |
|||
Also read the following regarding writing an article |
|||
*you must provide '''[[Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources|independent verifiable sources]]''' to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the [[Wikipedia:Notability (music)|notability guidelines]]. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the organisation, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the organisation claims or interviewing its management. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls |
|||
*you must write in a [[WP:NOTADVERTISING|non-promotional]] tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. |
|||
*there shouldn't be ''any'' url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections. |
|||
*you must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in [[WP:COPY|this policy]]. That applies ''even'' to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state '''clearly and explicitly''' that the text is '''public domain'''. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described [[Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials|here]]; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient. |

Revision as of 07:08, 30 November 2018
Hi Alfshire - congrats on the recently added references which, in my view, satisfy WP:COMPOSER. I note the BLP Notability tag I placed there has now been removed by Lacypaperclip, but given the article was declined by Onel5969 twice, (Dec 24, '15, and again on Jan 7, 2016), and given also that s/he is (by edit count) 20 times more experienced than me, I feel s/he should have final say in whether or not Glen Gabriel now meets the necessary standards.

Thanks Mark, I took your advice when creating a new article for opera singer Jeffrey Lawton, I think it is one of my better articles as a result. Alfshire (talk) 17:37, 3 December 2017 (UTC)

Excellent job on Jeffrey Lawton Alfshire - and now you're getting in the swing of things - I thought you might like to pop over to the Øyvind Mæland (Articles for Deletion) page - so you can see how tough the rules are - even for such a wonderful composer as he 
. I archived your stuff by the way - good housekeeping. MarkDask 09:31, 29 November 2017 (UTC) 00:53, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for your kind encouragement, something I have learned over time is to temper enthusiasm and check out articles written by the experts like yourself. I'll have a look at Øyvind Mæland and do some research on him. Alfshire (talk) 08:02, 4 December 2017 (UTC).
A page you started (Roberto Danova) has been reviewed!
Thanks for creating Roberto Danova, Alfshire!
Wikipedia editor Markdask just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:
There are too many names listed in the first section - better to list those you can reference in your "Discography" section and delete the rest in favour of the phrase "and others". It's about readability. As it it is too taxing on the eyes. Better to reduce that list :)

Thanks, I did think there were too many names myself, but I wanted to show the scope of the subjects work world wide. Some of the artists mentioned are very popular in their own countries and since Wikipedia covers the globe I thought I'd include them in the main section. You are right though readability is the most important aspect and I'll remove some to make it clearer. One mistake I think I made is not to create a table for the discography, but having initially entered all the text and references in standard format it was just too big a task to amend it all to tables. Maybe a lesson learned for the future. Your help and advice is much appreciated. Alfshire (talk) 08:06, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
