Hello, I'm looking for guidance on how to approach biographical articles with few sources or sources provided but not actually linked to in the text, such as on this page. If there are any "Wikipedia:____" style articles on this topic I'd be grateful to be directed toward them.

 * Inline citations are strictly required only in specific cases that don't apply here; see WP:MINREF. So technically there's no need to do anything about the Steinunn Finnsdóttir article; it's a valid stub. Of course you're welcome to look up the given references and to clarify which of them supports which part of the article. Huon (talk) 21:25, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

Hello, YesPretense, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Adam and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

If I do a significant amount of cleanup on a section of an article that has a problem tag, and I believe the cleanup addressed the problem of the tag, should I remove that tag myself, or make it known or attempt to appeal for the tag's removal in some other way? I'm planning on adding material to the revitalization section of the Ainu language article along with citations for that material; once I've done this, how should I proceed?

 * Hi. If you're confident you've resolved the issue the tag addresses, go ahead and remove it. If you're not sure, or you want a second opinion, try posting on the article's talk page.  Cheers, Nick&#8288;—&#8288;Contact/Contribs 20:02, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge and WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 05:03, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
