Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/John Courtney
I have submitted an article on John Courtney. Although I downloaded the software "Microsoft Office Word add-in for MediaWiki" I cannot work it and so I have pasted the article directly from the article in Word 2007. I can send the word document directly. Please advise. Rohanc99 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rohanc99 (talk • contribs) 10:40, 24 December 2013 (UTC)


 * If you create a few relevant section headings and tidy up the paragraphing that would go a long way towards improving the readability. Adding wikilinks for people and places mentioned that have existing articles in Wikipedia would also help to integrate the article better. You also have unformatted lists or even tables (I'm not quite sure which) that need to be fixed. You should also try to find a few more sources. The one you have is clearly a good one but having only a single source means the article is marginal as far as notability is concerned. Newspaper archives might have articles you could use.

Many thanks for the helpful advice. The revisions make it a lot clearer I think. I have an image of John Courtney but I dont know how to send it or add it to the draft. Can you advise please?

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/The Kicks (band)
Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified.

What do I need to do to address this?

Do I need to reference magazines etc?

 * Hello, Davidpapworth. Yes, published magazines are good sources.  So are news reports after events (but not announcements, which are usually provided by the band). Reviews are great, if they are done by professional reviewers rather than fans or people connected to the band, venue, etc.  The strongest references are those in publications that have editors who check over the information, rather than blogs or facebook pages.  I hope this helps.  &mdash;Anne Delong (talk) 04:03, 25 December 2013 (UTC)
