[edit] Jello Biafra

Self nomination. I have extensively researched the subject and have found little else to add to this article. In the process, I've expanded the article to more than twice its previous size. I think it provides a comprehensive overview of one of the most unique activists of our time. -- LGagnon 07:52, Mar 13, 2005 (UTC)

  • Object. No references. 119 08:06, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • References appear in the External links section; we have both his bio from Alternative Tentacles and the one written by All Music Guide. On top of that, there's his speeches from H2K and H2K2, which back up the Political beliefs section. -- LGagnon 08:09, Mar 13, 2005 (UTC)
      • And how is a a reader to know this? A references section is needed. --mav 17:47, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
        • From the link 119 provided: Note that it is a common alternative in Wikipedia to have a section labelled External links (after the References) and list various links to other sites and to pages within them. It says nothing about that being a bad way to cite sources; it just states that it is an alternative. As far as I can tell, the article is following the guidelines right. -- LGagnon 18:16, Mar 13, 2005 (UTC)
    • A section labeled References is a requirement. See Wikipedia:What is a featured article; the section was made a requirement as of February 6, 2005 ([1]). Before then it was a recommendation. The discussion on this topic is at Wikipedia talk:What is a featured article#References. Initially, I had objected to the requirement, but I've since been adding references to my articles as I write them (even to the point where some might think I'm over-referencing). It's trivial to add a reference line as you're using it, it's a bit more difficult after the fact. slambo 21:07, Mar 13, 2005 (UTC)
    • Ok, I've made a References section and moved some of the external links into there with proper citations. -- LGagnon 21:43, Mar 13, 2005 (UTC)
  • Object - no info on his childhood and early adulthood. --mav 17:56, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • I've added more info to the article. Note that I did already have info there on his early adulthood starting at age 19. -- LGagnon 18:59, Mar 17, 2005 (UTC)
      • Nice para. Good enough to remove my objection. --mav 01:56, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
