Welcome
Hello, NickP38 and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students.

If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.

Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.

Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, if your class doesn't already have one. It is highly recommended that you place this text:  on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! Rankersbo (talk) 07:35, 6 November 2014 (UTC)

Suggestions from a Classmate
Your article has a lot of great information on Winifred Dunn and seems pretty organized. I would just suggest adding some technical changes. One is to bold the name of the wikipedia article, which I went ahead and did (hope you don't mind). Also, I saw in your sandbox that you have paragraphs but they don't appear like that on the page because you need to add another line of space in between the paragraphs. I suggest adding sub headings to your paragraphs as well, such as personal life, childhood, early career, 1924, big break, awards and recognition, or others like those.

Lastly, I have one suggestion for a specific sentence. After you say Harry Hyde sued Pickford and Dunn, you wrote "The enormous success of Sparrows led Dunn to sign a long-term contract with First National Pictures." I got a bit confused so maybe add "Although there was controversy, the enormous success..."

File:Winifred Dunn.jpg
Hi NickP38. I noticed that you uploaded File:Winifred Dunn.jpg and tagged it as being in the public domain with the reason "Photo used for online film project". As the Wikipedia article on the public domain says: "Works in the public domain are those whose intellectual property rights have expired, have been forfeited, or are inapplicable." The simple fact that a work has been used online does not place the work in the public domain.

It's possible that this particular image is in the public domain - if it was first published in the United States before 1923, for example, the copyright has expired. See this chart which discusses copyright. To determine whether this image is usable, you will need to find out more about the history of the image. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 21:00, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
