'''RESPONSE TO JAYRON RE: MOXY ARTICLE I apologize for my lack of format understanding. I am leaving a msg re: an entry that you tagged.

Moxy (Singer) is already an approved link in an approved Wikipedia entry. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_10

After the Ben 10 entry was approved, Moxy was added an entry that needed information, and that is what we updated.

'''We only added pertinent information an an already approved entry, Moxy (singer) - the singer of the Ben 10 theme song, seen and heard in 160 countries and 88 Million U.S. households. In the approved Wikipedia entry, Moxy is prominently mentioned in the introductory paragraph.'''

Surely, that must be considered elgible for the notability requirements.

However, we did update the page, citing reliable third party sources. We included external links (lots of them), and cited our sources, including wikipedia itself, the imdb movie database, and all msuic guide.

Please remove the tags and respond as soon as you can. I aim to learn more about the workings of wiki, and help others. I am not too literate in the world of forums and the like, so I appreciate your patience. Bold text''' Thanks.

Work on the article Moxy (singer)
Hi there, and thank you for your input. I have updated this entry. I have now included reliable third party sources, including Wikipedia itself, IMDB, and All Music Guide. As the singer of the theme song for a cartoon that has a rabid fanbase,Ben 10, which broadcasts in 160 countries and 88 million U.S. households, this is a noteworthy entry. The theme song itself is a particular trademark of the show, urging Cartoon Network to even offer it as a download on the show's official website.

Moxy (singer) was actually entered by editors of Wikipedia, because it is referenced in the wikipedia entry for the show - Please see EXTERNAL LINKS SECTION: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_10

THANK YOU SO MUCH for your help on the categorization.Ontheballartists 02:03, 11 December 2006 (UTC)Ontheballartists

I looked over the recent work you did to the Moxy article. You seem to be a new editor, and are having some trouble with the finer points of Wikipedia. I fixed up your categorization problem (you had the right idea, but I coded it correctly).

Two further things with the article that need clean-up. They are closely related issues: Ontheballartists 15:16, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
 * The article does not cite any references. Please browse these wikipedia polices by clicking the blue links:
 * Policy on Verifiability
 * policy against original research
 * guidelines on reliable sources
 * how to correctly cite sources in an article
 * Furthermore, the article seems to fall short of Wikipedia's guidelines for notability. The basic principle is that all articles must demonstrate that their subject is ALSO the subject of outside writing in reliable, third-party sources.  Basically, what this means is that in order for Wikipedia to have an article on a subject, that subject needs to be covered by reliable sources (see link above) that are independant from the subject itself  While the band's website is useful, it doesn't show that someone from the press cared about this band enough to write about them. Unless and until someone does, Wikipedia cannot verify (see above link) the information in the article, and the article stands a likelyhood of being deleted.  Please provide these references if you can, and it will GREATLY improve this article.  Since it looks like you are a new editor, drop by my talk page at User talk:Jayron32 and let me know if you need any help.  I can try to help you clean this article up quite a bit if you can show me where to look for information (REFERENCES).  Also, on talk pages, please sign your post by putting 4 tildes: ~ at the end.  Thanks! --Jayron 32  05:53, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
