Meryl Streep
Hi X, I see you're a Streep fan. I found some sources for your edits online. Usually anecdotes, like the taxi story on Meryl Streep Day, are not significant enough to be included in a Wikipedia celebrity biography. These bios really just hit the highlights in rough proportion to what's appeared in the press. Your edit concerning "Secret Service" on Broadway is an interesting one and can be partially sourced as well. Here's what I'd propose you do:

1) Since "May 27, 2004 was proclaimed 'Meryl Streep Day' by Manhattan Borough President C. Virginia Fields." already appears in the article and is unsourced. Why don't you source it and it'll give you some practice with coding in sources. The web location of the source is here. So you'll want to add on the edit page of the article after the end of the sentence the following:

[h-ttp://www.nytimes.com/2004/07/25/movies/25GREE.html?pagewanted=1 "What, Meryl Worry?"]

{Be sure to remove all 3 dashes "-" in the reference string, click preview and check that it looks error free before you save it.}

2) If you really want to be bold, you can add an edit about "Secret Service." You have to be careful that anything that you add to the article is supported by the source. Your prior edit was:


 * Also in 1977 Streep appeared with John Lithgow, Charles Kimbrough, Mary Beth Hurt and Jeffrey Jones in William Gillette’s classic melodrama, Secret Service at the Phoenix Theatre. This production was filmed and is available on VHS and DVD as part of the Broadway Theatre Archive. For her performance she received the 1976 Theatre World Award and was nominated for the 1976 Drama Desk Award Outstanding Actress in a Play..

Let's see what can be sourced:

tells us a lot. It gives us the year, 1977; the cast, Streep, Lithgow, Kimbrough, Hurt and Jones; the theater, Phoenix Theatre. So we can use this to source the first sentence:

[h-ttp://news.google.com/newspapers?id=goksAAAAIBAJ&sjid=3foDAAAAIBAJ&pg=3508,2824792&dq=secret-service+meryl-streep&hl=en "Spy Drama Proved Most Successful For Its Author"]

{Be sure to remove all 3 dashes "-" in the reference string, click preview and check that it looks error free before you save it.}

The next sentence I would propose dropping. While I can find a blip about it here,, information about tapes or dvd's of her performances really isn't that encyclopedic or essential to describing her and her career.

The last sentence would require a source for her 1976 Theatre World Award and one for her nomination for a 1976 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Actress in a Play. The sources don't seem to support the World Theatre Award in '76 for "Secret Service". The award site lists her winning for "27 Wagons Full of Cotton" a Tennessee Williams play. The 1976 Drama Desk Award nomination can't be sourced either. It appears from the Drama Desk Award web page that she was nominated for "The Cherry Orchard" in '77, not "Secret Service." So what we are left with is:

Also in 1977 Streep appeared with John Lithgow, Charles Kimbrough, Mary Beth Hurt and Jeffrey Jones in William Gillette’s classic melodrama, Secret Service at the Phoenix Theatre.
