References and your draft article
The actual policy is subtly different, but this guide has always served me well: For a living person we have a higher standard of referencing. Every substantive fact, especially one that is susceptible to potential challenge, you assert requires a citation with a reference that is about them, and is independent of them, and is in WP:RS.

The real policy is a little less stringent than that, but, if you aim for the stars and miss then you may well hit the moon, which is good enough  Fiddle   Faddle  14:27, 2 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks, that's very helpful. I may have a few other issues, but I realized that I didn't have any in-text citations. I'm putting those in right now, actually. Thanks again!

Martin Hill
Great edits so far! There's a bit more to go before the article is ready, though. The tone is still informal in parts and there is a lot of unnecessary detail, such as the second paragraph of "Collection," describing his bowling alley. Other problematic phrases include "He once worked behind the camera, but decided he would be better at selling them than using them" and "Hill wants to preserve 'Hollywood's history,' but has little support for his effort." The first one is too informal, the second seems promotional. You should talk about what people do, not their motivations. I also recommend removing or changing the last two paragraphs of the "Collection" section, there are a lot of quotes and they make the article seem like an interview rather than an objective description. If you fix those issues, though, the article should be good to go! --Cerebellum (talk) 20:26, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
