Jan Linton
Hi there! I've just done some basic cleanup of your article on Jan Linton - it looks as though you uploaded it in raw RTF format, rather than using the Wikipedia-specific markup. You might want to look over it and see if you want to change the layout, add some more links, etc - after familiarising yourself with how Wikipedia markup works. :) Tevildo 22:25, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. I think you may have not seen the the the template at the beginning of the section which asks for all additions to also have, at the point of entry, adequate verification (see WP:V, and WP:CITE for further information.)  DDStretch    (talk)  06:42, 10 April 2008 (UTC) Hi, Thanks for your message. I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean (or whether this is the correct place to reply). In the cases of the names I added, the individual's Wikipedia pages also stated the information (which in most cases, such as Tim Firth, is public knowledge). Therefore, I thought there was some form of verification on Wikipedia itself.


 * It isn't the case that articles on wikipedia can be used to verify information in other articles. If you spend time looking at the reviews for GA or FA status, you will see cases where references are requested. Can I suggest that you take the time to transfer appropriate citatoons from nthe articles you think have them into the Warrington article itself? In the case of Tim Firth, what is common knowledge to one may well not be common knowledge to another, particularly anyone who doesn't have an interest in the areas Tim Firth is active in, and I think you can help prevent any future difficulty by merely providing the reference for the fact. Please consider doing this, as it will help prevent someone later on having to try to find them and make a decision about which references are the most appropriate ones to add.

 * I asked about this in two places, and got the following responses: here and here. Although some differences exist, it seems as if on balance, it would be good practice to re-check the information and add it to the Warrington article, as I asked before. So, could you find the time to do that? Many thanks.  DDStretch    (talk)  13:52, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Sorry for my ignorance, but what exactly would you like me to re-check and how would you like me to reflect that in the Warrington article? In the case of Tim Firth (although I did add other names), his writing credits are found extensively on the internet (imdb.com, for example), and his Warringtonian heritage is alluded to in the biography section of his website, timfirth.com. Having said that, the biography contains false information regarding his education (I know because I went to the same south Warrington Grammar school).


 * For all the names you added, you need to provide verification, by means of a suitable reference to as reliable a source as possible of their links to Warrington. If you want to use any references that are in other articles on wikipedia, say for person X, you need to be able to check again for yourself that these references really do state that person X had the connection with Warrington that you want to say they had. If they are web-based references, you should then give the date on which you looked at them to confirm the information. Your own personal knowledge can be used to guide your choice of reference, but it cannot be used as a reference. Does that help at all?  DDStretch    (talk)  21:13, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Burning Shed! 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 insure 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 Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the article:
