Noah Cyrus
Hi EvieEvEv! I can see that you really want to expand the Noah Cyrus article, which is great. But we need reliable sources for any additions, especially when we're writing about living people. We can't quote Wikipedia as a source, because that's like saying "it's true 'cos I say so". Well-respected newspapers and other news agencies are usually considered reliable sources, as are official press releases by record companies, TV companies and managing agents.

We also need to keep the balance right between the subject of the article (Noah Cyrus) and other people involved with her. Many of them have their own articles which readers can find by clicking on their names in the Noah Cyrus article.

Hope these pointers help -- Timberframe (talk) 23:35, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for persevering! Some good refs in there now. Still have to be careful about things like "It is believed..." - better to say that "It is reported by..." and add the name of your source, or leave it out until you can find comfirmation from a reliable source.

 * Timberframe, while making constructive suggestions, is not being to the point. Edits such as this, that add WP:PEACOCK promotional language are not welcome in Wikipedia. Let me give perspective. Do not add material that speculates that she is an "upcoming actress". You have no idea if this is true. Therefore, it is unencyclopedic. Do not add material that suggests she is important because people she is associated with are important. Notability in Wikipedia is not established by "who you know". You are likely only a few edits away from being blocked from editing. Do not repeat your edits. Wikipedia is not a fan site or a free promotional platform for Noah Cyrus.
