August 2016
Hello! Thank you for your recent contributions to Yura Min. I did have one note for you. I am working on a maintenance project to clean up Category:Pages using infoboxes with thumbnail images. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this: SomeImage.jpg, instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do: SomeImage.jpg. There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!!

Categories
Hello. Please have a read of WP:Categorization - categories are not some generic metatag as you claimed here. They're intended to be used fairly carefully, and if they come up as red links then there's probably a good reason why. In general you should avoid really general categories such as "Biography" - which would potentially have millions of members, you should try to find more specific categories without veering into WP:Overcategorization - the ideal category has around 20-50 members.

Disambiguation link notification for August 15
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Alexander Gamelin, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page ISU. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Yura Min
Hi, regarding File:Yura Min & ice dance partner, Alexander Gamelin.jpg it looks like this got missed on commons as all your other images uploaded the same day are marked as having an OTRS email on file. You'll need to go to commons and point out the error to the deleting admin or ask on the Commons:OTRS/Noticeboard. Just un-deleting here will have no effect as no one on commons would see an edit summary. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 16:03, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

I've been tasked to write an article for a career college with a 40-year history that is not yet published on Wikipedia. I need clarification about "acceptable sources" to support facts before I begin. The institution does not have third-party articles on the internet to substantiate its history. It does it print documentation issued by credible third-parties such as the Department of Education and the Commission that accredits the institution nationally and authorizes it to provide course offerings to the public. Are such print documents acceptable sources? If they are acceptable, what is the process for citing the sources? Thank you for your attention. IceTwinsMom
