Re: Newbie
Hi there Aeropagitica, I am new to creating/amending articles on wikipedia, so if you have any tips for me please do not hesitate to point me in the right direction. My specialist are is top fashion models/designers/photographers. I think this whole subject area requires exanding/updating. Can you please tell me what "Reverted edits by Lxhughes (talk) to last version by 88.109.75.164 for Kristen McMenamy" means? Many thanks, Alex — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lxhughes (talk • contribs)


 * Hello! I have placed a welcome message with lots of advice on  your Talk page, as you are new here.  I reverted your edits to that page because it was an unusual place to start an article.  You can read Help:Starting a new page and the other pages associated with 'the path to a featured article' for guidance on creating and expanding articles.  You can also request to be adopted, so than an experienced user can offer you guidance.  Also, don't forget to sign your edits to user pages with four tildes, ~ .  This helps to see who has done what and to get to their Talk page easily, rather than look at the edit history of said page. Regards, (aeropagitica) 17:45, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the information on getting started. I was wondering what will happen to my new "Kristen McMenamy" entry? Does this have to be approved by an administrator? How do I access the "edit" again? regards, Lxhughes 22:20, 20 January 2007 (UTC)


 * I'll dig it out and put it on a user sub-page for you to edit. It doesn't have to be pre-approved by an administrator, biographies have to be notable according to WP:BIO. (aeropagitica) 22:40, 20 January 2007 (UTC)


 * User:Lxhughes/sandbox - this is your new sandbox. You can edit articles here without interference before you publish them. Regards, (aeropagitica) 22:49, 20 January 2007 (UTC)


 * ok thanks for the sandbox. I am happy with the content. What do I have to do to publish this article officially and get it approved? lx 23:00, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Kristen McMenamy
Well, it seems a lot of us disagree of whether this meets CSD A7. I'm going to AfD to get a community consensus on the fate of the article. I think that's the best way to resolve this matter. Thanks,  Nish kid 64  20:45, 22 January 2007 (UTC)


 * hi there Nishkid64, yes I can perfectly understand the scepticism on whether Kristen McMenamy is a "notable personality" who meets CSD A7 criteria or not. I am new here on wikipedia and I understand that diligent administrators, like yourself, want to maintain the integrity of the database. I have done my best to describe Kristen's strong points, and you are welcome to cross check her references. You can check the "favourite model" citation from Steven Meisel. McMenamy was a major player in the fashion world of the 1990s, and she has featured many times in Vogue. I have no personal relationship to her, and I am just interested in her contribution to the fashion world. The problem is, she is not a "household" name like Claudia Schiffer or Cindy Crawford, but that doesn't necessarily make her a nobody either. To be honest, I wish to expand and improve many articles for fashion personalities, but seeing my amendments constantly being reverted for no particular reason (such as SPAM) is very discouraging. All supermodels feature in advertisement campaigns, which can be viewed by looking at their external links (see Claudia Schiffer who has featured in many advertisement campaigns). But these are usually historical adverts in a historical archive, and are not an attempt at spamming wikipedia or breaking copyright regulations. Thanks for your understanding, lx 03:50, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
