Hello, I'm C.Fred. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the page Jenna Busch, because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 01:06, 29 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Hello I am Cris2877 The external link LegionofLeia.com is a valid link to Jenna's actual website that she owns.  She gave me almost all the information for the page.  The other external links really weren't important, but that particular one is, I put it back under her name.  Jenna Busch brought it to my attention today that most of her wiki page was gone.  I'm going to re-add some of her information but I won't add links, they really weren't necessary.  Thank you for the tips and introduction, I really need help.


 * How do I write her page and keep it wiki legal? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cris2877 (talk • contribs)


 * I hate to say it, but the short answer is, if she's giving you information and requesting you to write it, don't write it. You have a conflict of interest with Busch if you're on her behalf. Wikipedia articles are encyclopedia articles written from neutral point of view. The editor who pared back the article was concerned with the tone, that it was overly praising of Busch.


 * The article is also in dire need of secondary sources. It could be tagged for deletion for being a biography without reliable sources. —C.Fred (talk) 03:29, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

No, she hasn't asked me to write it. It is something I have wanted to do because she's fairly big in our geek community. I did ask her some questions via her website contact. I have followed her work for years. I truly believe this person needs a page. cris2877

Sorry, I am really new at this. Secondary sources are links to articles that have been written about her? cris2877

Can I put this back into my sandbox so that I can do the citations without the page being deleted? I've added one, but i am having difficulty with the technical aspect. cris2877


 * I've cleaned up the reference a bit, so you can see better the mechanics of it. In the article's current state, I don't think it'll be nominated for deletion. That said, you might want to work on sections of the article in your sandbox and then show them to other editors for review.


 * Be careful about using material you've gotten from her first-hand. Wikipedia has a policy against original research. That's why secondary sources are reliable sources that have been published about her by an independent party. Usually, that means newspaper and magazine articles. Blog articles written about her are tricky, because many blogs are not reliable sources. —C.Fred (talk) 11:54, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
