Hey, I was just looking at the page for Gov. Jindal and it looks like you've been doing a great job over there. Keep up the good work! - Schrandit (talk) 20:29, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Boromir123! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 14 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

  1. Marnix Van Holsbeeck - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Thanks!--DASHBot (talk) 04:50, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

addition

saw the edit on the voting record. I was going to check on that myself later because it seemed POV. Thanks for the clarification.Malke2010 02:43, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Summary: A couple of users have given me some advice that I should explain the reasons for deletion/changes either on an article discussion page or on the edit summary. I promise to be more diligent in this regard in the future.Boromir123 (talk) 04:52, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Blogs

Just a quick note - there is a significant difference between a blog by a newspaper reporter done on a newspaper website, and a personal blog. The first is a reliable source; the second is (almost always) not. To quote the guideline:

Some newspapers host interactive columns that they call blogs, and these may be acceptable as sources so long as the writers are professional journalists or are professionals in the field on which they write and the blog is subject to the newspaper's full editorial control.

You're welcome. And, with apologies for bringing up something else - when you post a comment on a user talk page that is not part of a continuing conversation, please use the "new section" tab, rather than adding the comment to an existing section. And when you do add a comment within an existing section, you should indent it using one or more colons, depending on how indented the prior comment is. (More on talk page norms can be found here.) -- John Broughton (♫♫) 15:51, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
