Renee Blount
Hi there Bikerham! I see that you've created an identical copy of Renee blount at the page Renee Blount. I see what you are trying to do, as "Blount" needs to have a capital letter. The way to do this is to move the page, though, not to just copy and paste the text. This ensures that the history of everyone's edits is kept (which Wikipedia requires because of its licensing). I've tagged the new page for deletion - once it has been deleted I'll change the small "b" to a capital "B" for you. If you have any questions, feel free to ask here as I'll be watching the page. All the best. —  Mr. Stradivarius ♫ 05:39, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry for all the confusion back there. It looks like the original page at Renee blount was deleted after you blanked it, and that the deletion tags from Renee Blount were removed. I hope everything is cleared up now! Again, feel free to ask me if you have any questions. —  Mr. Stradivarius ♫ 05:57, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

This is my first page, so thank you for your assistance. I see that one of my sources was tagged. Does the actual word, protege need to appear in the reference? Thanks. Bikerham (talk) 23:31, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
 * That's almost right. To be precise, it doesn't need to specifically include the word "protege", but it does need to say words to that effect. If it said something like "she was mentored by Arthur Ashe" or "she was a prominent member of the tennis group that Arthur Ashe coached" then it would be perfectly fine to call her his protege. When I looked I didn't find any language like this in the source, but let me know if I have overlooked something. —  Mr. Stradivarius ♫ 01:56, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
 * By the way, the relevant policy can be found at Verifiability in case you have a few minutes spare to read it. —  Mr. Stradivarius ♫ 01:58, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
