Bonjour Thanks again for your help with Kirsten Ulve's page.

I was wondering if I could get your advice on another person's page I'm working on? The subject is an executive producer of independent and commercial animation in Hollywood. He has a huge list of credits and I'm running out of steam adding them. The citation list seems like too much as well. I was thinking when and if I finish this one, I may put together a page for his company Acme Filmworks as well. Should I dump the credits and save them for the Acme page? Any thoughts? Thank you. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Ron_Diamond Katherine311MH (talk) 14:26, 12 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Comment ça va, ?


 * In general, it's best to choose a dozen or so "Selected credits" rather than try to list everything, since Wikipedia is not a resumé. In this case, saving the list for the article on Acme Filmworks would be entirely appropriate. As for the multiple citations for most of the facts in the article — I'd reduce the citations to one or two (at the most) for facts that need verification. To meet the Notability requirement for a biography, we need at least three reliable sources that cover the subject in depth, not just multiple refs that all substantiate a single fact. (Also, if there are too many citations, editors may suspect it is a case of reference bombing, or an effort to mask a lack of references that cover the subject in some depth, but with multiple references that are only passing mentions.) In short: beyond using at least 3 "substantial" references that demonstrate in-depth coverage for notability purposes, it would be best to choose one or two of the best references per factual statement, rather than every reference that exists on the topic. Plus, it's less tiresome for you and our readers.


 * Glad to see you are on your way with another solid article! Grand&#39;mere Eugene (talk)


 * Comme ci, comme ça. Et toi?


 * Thank you so much for your help. I wish I had discovered you ages ago! Your notes make sense to me.


 * Another question, is it possible to change your user name once you have a Wiki account? I wish I had picked a gender neutral name in this environment, but as you can see I didn't really know what was up!


 * Yes,, see Username poicy], then make your request at WP:RENAME. Harassment continues to be an issue for us, but we have made almost a smidgeon of progress in the past few years. Still, we do have the Username policy for very good reasons. Let me know how it goes, and stay safe! Grand&#39;mere Eugene (talk) 21:11, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
