I am extremely appalled by your behavior and other editors on that forum. Do I have to ask your permission before editing? You have not responded to the draft that I proposed. You have continued to be bias towards all of my edits. ] (]) 01:12, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

  • I almost fell into the same trap as you did, but after one of the sources in the old version of the article clearly showed that one of the roles wasn't as an uncredited extra, I dug a little deeper. As such, AGF was not hard in this case. :) Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 07:53, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

Question

Apologise in advance if I am doing this wrong, I am new to this. So for to understand how would I properly link a movie/play title from a given article to an outside page showing proof of the claim?Sindanda (talk) 15:32, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

  • Sindanda: The simple answer is that we don't directly link to articles in that manner. In this situation, we would use <ref>Insert web link here</ref> to the right of the movie the person had a role in; and, if there are two square brackets either end of the movie's title (which is a wikilink), you make sure that you do not put that reference inside those brackets, but next to them. I strongly suggest you go and read Misplaced Pages:Citing sources for more specific details, particularly with regards to reference formatting (it is generally frowned upon to just have a raw link on its own), and I would also recommend that you familiarize yourself with WP:RS, which IMDB does not satisfy. I thank you for asking for assistance, and for also heeding my advice about how to sign posts correctly. :) Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 15:47, 23 November 2014 (UTC)
  • Lukeno94: Thank you for pointing that out, it's a lot to take in so guiding suggestions are always welcome. I have read now the WP:RS and see your point. So to confirm I understand this all correctly. Other than the rare external link it would be better that any film/play which one wishes to link themselves to be in the appropriate Wiki database. That way so long as the given page is in line with WP:RS than the actor(s) page is safe as it is citing an already confirmed wiki page? Sorry again for this, I do read the help material but I have always learned better via a conversation style forum. :) Sindanda (talk) 15:55, 23 November 2014 (UTC)
  • To reference something in line with WP:RS, you would be looking for an external article on a website that is known to be fairly reliable in its area. So, for example, something like the BBC, or the Guardian would be good examples of generally reliable references; however, there are also references that are reliable for their subject areas. Generally, we avoid blogs (with a few notable exceptions), Wikis, fan sites and tabloid newspapers as references, particularly in a WP:BLP, which Schooley's article is classified as. Local-scale sources (so county or town/city specific) are capable of being reliable (and, indeed, they often are), but they do not count towards notability (again, with a few exceptions, like the New York Times, for example).

Re -- your comment would be more helpful to the committee if you'd be willing to take the time to wikilink the ANI threads. NE Ent 15:07, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
