Lists of people
The above article is for links to articles that are lists of people; it's not an article for listing every person in the world. Hope that helps. Somno (talk) 06:21, 8 October 2008 (UTC)


 * If you can explain what you're trying to do at List of prizes, medals, and awards, perhaps I can help you? Miss America is already listed on that page. Somno (talk) 06:26, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

I don't know how to use the reliable references and the links to verify the information. Can you help?Missriteen (talk) 06:54, 8 October 2008 (UTC)


 * This page shows how to format a reference/citation. Basically, you include the details of the reference between . If you can post the details of a reference here, I can show you how to format it or insert one into the article as an example (I figure you're referring to the Lindsay Rogers article?). Somno (talk) 07:24, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Yes, Lindsay Rogers article. The references are: Miss America's Outstanding Teen http:www.maoteen.org and missri.com along with another www.myspace.com/missriteen2006 and missriusa.com and wpri.com. Can you help in citing these? I don't know if wikipedia needs more info after that but let's try this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Missriteen (talk • contribs)


 * Hi Missriteen, generally the best references are third-party, independent references, which help establish notability (for example, newspaper articles). The most valuable references you can find will be directly related to Lindsay, and will support the claims made in the article, particularly her modelling work with Ford and her 180 national titles. The WPRI reference might be OK; do you have a link to the exact article about Lindsay? I used their search feature but wasn't able to find it. You won't be able to cite MySpace as a reference (it's not a reliable source, missriusa.com didn't work for me and I couldn't find a mention of Lindsay on missri.com. So, out of the references you mention above, the only one I could find that worked and mentioned Lindsay is http://www.maoteen.org/states/RI/titleholder2006.htm, which isn't enough to prove notability on its own. However, to use that as a reference, insert this code into the article at the end of relevant sentences:
 * And then at the end of the article (but before the DEFAULTSORT and categories), insert this:
 * ==References==

Can you help in putting this article together with all these links to help verify it. I really don't know what I'm doing. Please help Missriteen (talk) 04:49, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Please read my last 3 talks...I tried to put in all the links and somehow they didn't note in the story. They just printed as links in the story as the whole link spelled out. So, can you help? Please read all the way up to half this page where I listed all the reference articles. All you had to do was google....Lindsay Rogers RI .... and go through the pages.Missriteen (talk) 05:03, 17 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi Missriteen, I don't have time just now to help, but I will help within the next 1-2 days. We'll get it sorted eventually! :) Somno (talk) 05:37, 17 October 2008 (UTC)


 * You need to copy the exact format of the reference I gave above, and just change the details, to get it to work within the article. I'll go through and do that with some of them now. I have a couple of concerns with the references:
 * www.missrhodeislandusa.com/2006_results.html, www.pageantupdate.net/teen/stateresults4.htm, and www.ninimomo.com/2005riteenusa.htm - these do not confirm that Lindsay has won "Grand Overall Titles at just about every pageant she entered" - they show her as a semi-finalist in three pageants. To reference a statement like that, you need an article about Lindsay stating that fact.
 * www.valleybreeze.com/Free/288581221724433.php - this link doesn't work for me.
 * www.eyewitnessnewstv.com/Global/story.asp?S=6259282 - this link doesn't work for me.
 * Please note that it's not up to me to Google Lindsay's name and find references - it's up to the editor adding the information. I have helped as much as I can, and am happy to keep doing so, but I don't have time to find references myself. I have formatted the references within the article, except for the ones I've mentioned above. Somno (talk) 03:51, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
