Calvinlin97, good luck, and have fun. -- – S. Rich (talk) 00:39, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

Also, Calvinlin, the wiki-link you added was to a "disambigulation'' page. That is, a page that said "do you mean Coachella, California or the Coachella Festival"? (Words to that effect.) We want and need links that are helpful to readers. I thank you for your contribution, but please read the different info in the welcome page above. It will help you become a more effective contributor.   – S. Rich (talk) 00:44, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

Sorry S.Rich! I'm starting this project on wikipedia for a class I'm taking so I'm new to using Wikipedia! Go easy on me! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Calvinlin97 (talk • contribs)

No problem. I'm here to help. That's why I posted the welcome message above and the added explanation. Don't worry about a thing. You cannot break Wikipedia. – S. Rich (talk) 01:00, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

Celebrity images and personality rights
There shouldn't be any problem with including images of relevant celebrities on your Wikipedia article. I suggest you just use the images used on other Wikipedia articles, since those have already had their copyright cleared. Personality rights generally apply to things like putting a celebrity's image on a t-shirt or cereal box, and shouldn't affect use in an encyclopedia article.--Pharos (talk) 15:46, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Also, I just had a look at your article, and you really want to organize it more in terms of different communities and fields of activity, rather than by famous individuals. Wikipedia has the dry taste of an aged encyclopedia.--Pharos (talk) 23:21, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

In order to help other students like you enjoy editing while contributing positively to Wikipedia, it's extremely helpful to hear from real student editors about their challenges, successes, and support needs. Please take a few minutes to answer these questions by clicking below. (Note that the responses are posted to a public wiki page.) Thanks!
