Your addition to Gene Kelly
Hi. I've just removed the material you added to the Gene Kelly article, but I wanted to tell you why -- not because it's not worthwhile, but because the way you formatted it and cited it, I really couldn't tell what was going on. I take it that all the material was quotes by Kelly and about him, but it was very unclear who was saying what, and all the cites were to "Gene Kelly", when in fact that's not the case. I think you need to build some text around it to act as a framework, something like: "Kelly commented that..." or "So-and-so once wrote about Kelly that..." and so on, so you have a paragraph or two that is fluid and reads well, and not just some quotes strung together. Also, take as much information about where these quotes came from as the website provides, and use that information in the citations, crediting the person who said it and where it came from. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask, I'll be glad to help. Ed Fitzgerald t / c 03:28, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
