September 2012
Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw how you edited or created Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Chase Coleman, and I noticed that the username you have chosen, "Chasetool", seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of something other than yourself. Please note that you may not edit on behalf of a company, group, institution, or website, and Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or have the appearance of shared use. Please take a moment to create a new account or request a username change that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and remember that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. SarahStierch (talk) 05:36, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi there Sarah! Thank you for your attendance on my wikipedia page and my user name. My user name is indeed specific and individual only to myself, Chase Coleman. You can see that my personal email registered on the account is also chasetool@gmail.com. This has been a handle and email I've used for quite a long time now. Please tell me if using my online handle "chasetool" is okay or not, and thank you again! Chase Coleman 08:23, 13 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi, Chase. Hope you're well today. I'm not Sarah, but I happened on your page and I can tell you that your username will be okay. I think Sarah was simply concerned that someone might be using your name without you knowing. We wouldn't want you to be impersonated. Take care. NTox · talk 19:56, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

Chase Coleman
Hi Chasetool, thanks for your submission of Chase Coleman for article creation. The article is now looking pretty strong, however there was a lot of basic mark up work I did on it so that it comes to meet the WP guidelines. You reverted at that mark up and I have reverted it back so that it stands a chance of passing the article submission process. Here are some of the basics of editing that I hope will also be useful to you in editing other WP articles.
 * In the body of an article links are not inset like this. If there is information that needs to be given to support a statement then it is offered in an inline citation, like this: . See Link Help.
 * WP has a guideline on what counts as a reliable source. Blogs, forums, personal, private webpages and other user edited web material don't fly. These include all Wikipedia pages, Wikia and other wiki sources. They can't be used to reference. IMDb is also held in this category as it can be edited by anyone, so all the IMDb sourcing means the article might not pass.
 * Common words, phrases, professions (like actor, director etc) are not linked nor 'pop band', 'TV series', 'high school', 'college' etc. See WP:OVERLINK for more details.
 * Wikipedia is first and foremost an encyclopaedia. It is not interested in promoting the subjects of its article (or condemning them); it aims for a neutral, scholarly tone. Articles are not resumes or soapboxes.
 * Articles should not be written or edited by the subject of the article or someone close to them. This is held to be a conflict of interest.
 * Editorial comment should be absent. Phrases like "he is currently studying with the astounding Jennifer Gelfer" and "A new chapter in Coleman's life began", have no place in an encyclopaedia article.

To increase the strength of the article, add references from articles from major publications such as the New York Times, The Washington Post, The Guardian, The New Yorker etc and/or books that mentions Coleman. These are much stronger sources than IMDB, Daytime Stars and Strikes.com or TV.com. The idea is to demonstrate that Coleman has international notability, relevant to someone in Jakarta, Wellington or Saigon. It's worth noting that, yes, many articles don't conform to the basic standards. IMDb is cited all over WP and minor subjects of no notability at all are given articles. There are plenty of terrible articles on WP but the idea is to reduce their number, not increase it. See Other stuff exists for more detail. I hope that all helps clarify what is needed. Help:Wiki markup has more on proper formatting. Please ask on my talk page, or here, if you have questions, comments or thoughts on this. Best wishes and happy editing.
