Good morning, Uzma Gamal. Many thanks for the very helpful message that you sent to me yesterday. "Rudy Buttignol" is my first attempt at Misplaced Pages. I think that I started about a week ago. It takes me a long time to do anything and to navigate my way around. I have started this new message here because I was unable to find your message from yesterday, June 11th. I answered to David by mistake, so here is the same reply to you.
In your June 11th message, you made 2 main points:
1) To "write in chronological order rather than resume multiple section style". Thanks for removing the "Awards" section heading and I can see how the article looks better.
2)To use only reliable sources such as those in newspapers and books.
I think that I am confused about when to use an external link ] and when to use a reference <ref>...</ref>.
The difficulty that I am having with using newspaper references that are not http is that I find the appropriate links and the entire article about Rudy Buttignol through Google, and then when I go to the newspaper can't get all of the information, especially the page #. I contact the newspaper for that info and then hear nothing. Are links to online newspaper articles not good sources to use on Misplaced Pages?
Also, regarding Rudy Buttignol's volunteer service to organizations such as the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television and the Canadian Cultural Review Board, I do not know how else to verify that he sits on these boards without linking to the section in the appropriate website. Is this correct for Misplaced Pages?
I really appreciate the rigour that Misplaced Pages supports regarding sources and for all of the help that you have given me. And I do want to present the best possible Misplaced Pages submission for Rudy Buttignol.
Thanks for writing back when you can.

Rudy Buttignol is on Misplaced Pages as "nationality Italian".

Rudy Buttignol is a Canadian citizen so would you please advise how I can change that? Many thanks.

Awards section for Rudy Buttignol was removed by someone-Hot Docs Doc Mogul is a huge industry award

Hello Uzma, I also notice that someone has removed the Awards section for Rudy Buttignol. That Doc Mogul Award from the Hot Docs Film Festival (2007) is a huge film and television industry award that should be noted in a non-peacockish way. Please help!

Many thanks, sofiabrampton

2)To use only reliable sources such as those in newspapers and books.

I think that I am confused about when to use an external link ] and when to use a reference .

The difficulty that I am having with using newspaper references that are not http is that I find the appropriate links and the entire article about Rudy Buttignol through Google, and then when I go to the newspaper can't get all of the information, especially the page #.
