I noticed that you created an article on the actor Chris Clinton. It's great that you've created an article on Wikipedia, but I would like to point out a few problems with the article. First of all, it does not cite any sources. (The external link to IMDB is not enough to stand on its own as a reliable source. IMDB's content is user-generated, so it is not, by itself, reliable.)  Because of this, I've added a tag to the beginning of the article stating such. Citations are a very important part of Wikipedia, especially in articles that are biographies of living people (or "BLP"). Every BLP article has to have at least one citation, or it risks being deleted.

Also, the picture that was included in the infobox of the article was not a picture of Chris Clinton; therefore, it has been removed.

I'm keeping a fairly close eye on the article, so I would encourage you to try and improve it - especially by providing references to reliable sources. Keep in mind also that any content you add to the article must be free content, meaning that you can't copy and paste material from other Web sites (including IMDB) into Wikipedia.

Once again, welcome to Wikipedia and happy editing! Sleddog116 (talk) 18:20, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

As near as I can tell from detailed searching, none of the roles you've mentioned in this article actually exist, and your article and link appear to be somewhat fictional. I've reverted the changes. Please don't make up material you contribute to Wikipedia, we'd love to have you stay and help us make more constructive changes. Have a great week. --joe deckertalk to me 02:21, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
