Any action in Red Square recently?

Anna Wintour revert
OK, here's my problem(s) with this:
 * On 23 January 2012,
 * My understanding of MOS:DATE is that we generally don't use full dates unless there is some good reason to do so. And there isn't here; this will date fast.


 * ... the first day of the auspicious Chinese Lunar New Year of the Dragon,
 * What's the relevance? Oh, I see, it's because Anna's a dragon lady. Sorry, that's a stretch.


 * ... acclaimed culture writer Arturo Tora'
 * So acclaimed (see WP:PEACOCK, by the way) we don't have an article on him at the moment.


 * ... tweeted on the online social networking service Twitter,
 * Where else would someone tweet something?


 * ''“Anna has, well in the new millennium, shown herself to be a most worthy champion and maven maestra of modern moda!”
 * So, because someone whose notability or relevance has not been established makes such pro forma praise on a day that happens to be the first day of the Chinese Year of the Dragon, it has something illuminating to say about Anna Wintour being a dragon lady? This is original research at best and a coincidence at most.


 * Your citation didn't even include a link to the tweet, so it can't be verified.

Sorry to be harsh, but I put a lot of time and effort into writing that article and I feel a responsibility to maintain its integrity. Which is not to say that I don't accept others' contributions to it, but this one is just superfluous. Daniel Case (talk) 18:59, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for responding. I understand how you feel. Maybe this could go on her Wikiquote page if you make sure to provide a link direct to the tweet. Daniel Case (talk) 20:45, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Jeremy Lin do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. ''Twitter is not a reliable source. I notice you have also made edits in the past that appear to promote other works of Arturo Tora. You may also want to read the guideline on conflict of interest.
