city limits

 * Please don't remove the references about the magazine. You're going to get it deleted off wikipedia if you're not careful! The article about City Limits is not your platform for marketing the publication, its supposed to neutral and unbiased and supported by independent sourcing!--Milowent • hasspoken  22:29, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
 * You can't do it; I'm serious.--Milowent • hasspoken 01:56, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I can help, I if knew what you are attempting to do? Don't be shy!--Milowent • hasspoken  20:39, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Definitely wasn't trying to be shy, it's taken me most of the day to figure out how to talk to somebody about the page. First off, how can I get the "close connection" and "notability" tags that are currently on the article removed? Secondly, I want to avoid rollbacks of the edits that I've been making and I'm realizing that a large part of the reason why it's been rolled back is because I haven't been providing references as I go along. Can you direct me to somewhere that I can get info on the proper format for in-line citations as I try to independently source the page?--Gebrik184--Gebrik184 (talk) 23:03, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
 * 1. re References: You can take a look at articles for other publications (hit edit and see how the references are formatted) to see how to add references.  See, e.g., The New York Sun.
 * 2. re close connection: Unfortunately the edits you make are being identified as likely being made by someone associated with the subject.  The content needs to be neutral (see WP:POV)
 * 3. re notability: We need sources written about the subject.  I.e., if the NY Times has written profiles of City Limits, I could use those sources to show notability and I could remove that tag myself.
 * Hope this helps as a start, keep asking questions if you have them, I'll try to check back. Many editors forget how daunting it can be to start editing wikipedia, but I do remember :-) --Milowent • hasspoken  20:39, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
 * 2. re close connection and notability: Can the case for close connection be made if user is one of the few people with access to information about subject area they wish to write about? Because city limits is old and was an alternative news source, the content and history we want to write about on the site's wikipedia page isn't readily available in a lot of other places --Gebrik184
