Cosby draft
Hi, I saw you were working on an article for the Cosby sex scandal that looks like it will get published pretty soon. Decided to hijack it to speed things along, doing ref expansion for now but might help with content later. It's totally your draft and you're welcome to tell me to eff off until you submit it at AfC or publish it yourself, but with the volume of work you've put into it I assumed you wouldn't mind some help. :)  12:27, 24 November 2014 (UTC)

Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living (or recently deceased) persons, as you did to Bill Cosby. Thank you. Neil N  talk to me 09:36, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

You do understand you are risking a block if you re-add an unsourced "child sexual abuse" again, right? --Neil N  talk to me 14:56, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

Regarding this, that's not how it works. All sources required by an article must be present in that article. Thank you for adding a source. --Neil N  talk to me 15:08, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

Neil N : Why is it accurate then that there are no other refs in that entire opening paragraph? Mdude04 (talk) 15:16, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
 * See WP:LEADCITE: "Because the lead will usually repeat information that is in the body, editors should balance the desire to avoid redundant citations in the lead with the desire to aid readers in locating sources for challengeable material." So you can either repeat the material in the body (with a cite) and remove the cite from the intro or leave it as is. BTW, adding my name after you sign won't notify me. --Neil N  <i style="color:blue">talk to me</i> 15:31, 17 November 2015 (UTC)


 * <b style="color:navy">Neil N </b>: Makes sense. Obviously I am not as experienced in Wikipedia policy/practices as you are. Thanks for clarifying things for me! Mdude04 (talk) 15:37, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:Cosby communications center.png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Cosby communications center.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 22:29, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
