Talk:Bernard Belle

Suggested improvements
I realise that this article is under construction. Please don't take anything in this section as criticism; I'm just trying to help an editor who knows the topic (but may be new to Wikipedia) to improve a promising page. (I apologise for telling experienced editors what they already know: please correct my mistakes and omissions.)
 * 1) Most importantly, the article would benefit greatly from a new References section quoting some reliable sources to back up the information in the article. I've looked for a few myself but failed, e.g. a search at grammy.com doesn't list Belle's awards.  The existing references don't mention Belle, so they may be better presented as External links.
 * 2) Replace italics by wikilinks ]] in those names of colleagues etc. which have articles, e.g. link to Michael Jackson. Some article titles may be longer than a simple name, e.g. Teddy Riley (producer).
 * 3) Whilst some songs such as Remember the Time are notable, some others will never realistically deserve their own articles, so we could replace their redlinks by simple text.
 * 4) Click on the blue links: a few such as Gospel and Today lead to unrelated articles. Each of these should be replaced by a more accurate link if it exists (e.g. Gospel music, Today (band)), a redlink if the topic is notable but doesn't have an article, or simple text otherwise.
 * 5) A few more categories such as Grammy Award winners and People from (Wherever) would be useful: there are many examples at the bottom of articles linked from here.
 * 6) Like most new pages, this page will be an orphan: few other pages will link here. Pages which already contain Belle's name could be improved by bracketing the first mention to form a wikilink.  The pages this article links (or should link) to are good candidates; Special:Search/Bernard Belle lists others.

I could attempt some of this myself but I'm sure a subject expert could do it much better. Certes (talk) 22:03, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Update: some work has been done but the article could still benefit from: Certes (talk) 11:10, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) references to prove he's notable (Blairsmom is working on this but other help is welcome)
 * 2) more categories - can anyone familiar with music categories help?
 * 3) more links into the page: I've added brackets to pages which already mention Belle but could his name usefully be added elsewhere?
