[edit] Hartigan link

Hi Caniglia and welcome! I see you've already started making some changes -- glad to see you being bold :) I also noticed that you added your own website as a link to the Grace Hartigan page and that it's been removed. Please don't be discouraged by the fact that one of your first edits has been removed! The purpose of external links is to provide links to additional information about the subject of the article. Grace has had, over the years, many many students and while that is an important part of her career, links to individual student webpages don't provide the reader additional information about Grace herself. So please don't take it personally, it's just part of general editorial policy. Happy editing :) --Bookgrrl 02:48, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Well I do appreciate your explantion. It can be very confusing and overwhelming with the amount of info on this site and how it all relates and works. I felt that Grace was a significant part of Caniglia's influence in expressionistic illustration. But I understand that it doesn't provide the reader any additional information on Grace. So thanks for explaning.

I have a question for you. On the subject of Caniglia's Article I have added updates with reliable sources, references, that should satisfy the Notability guidelines. So when will they remove the tags from his article? I left a message in the discussion/talk page but no one has responded? Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Jacqui (Caniglia 03:13, 20 November 2006 (UTC))

Hi Jacqui - there's no official removal policy for flags like NPOV or notability; any editor can place them and any editor can remove them. The only rule of thumb is that it's a good idea not to remove the flags on articles you created yourself (mostly because it's sometimes hard to be objective about your own work). You can edit the article in an attempt to fix the flagged problems, but the flags should stay until another editor agrees that the problems have been fixed and removes them. Posting a request on the discussion page as you did is a fine way to ask for someone's review. (In this case I took a look and I think between the last few edits the issues have been addressed, so I've removed the flags.)
For future reference, just keep in mind that Wikipedia is meant to be a reference work, not an advertisement; so articles need to be low-key and formal in tone (i.e. no phrases like, "This (writer/musician/book/game/whatever) is really great!"). Stick to statements of fact (This person has won this award; this person's book was published on this date, etc). Also, you don't need to list every single thing a person has done; encyclopedia articles usually don't contain long lists. Finally, people don't generally write articles on themselves because (a) it's hard to be objective about yourself and (b) it looks like advertising, even if you don't mean it that way. Happy editing :) --Bookgrrl 19:06, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
