I found a recent interview of Silvana Gallardo in a book called THE MIDNIGHT SHOW (by Author Ken Knight) and would like to mention it here on her wikipedia blurb just as as recent "appearance" of her, not the interview itself. Any problems with that folks? :) -MaxButterchuck —Preceding unsigned comment added by MaxButterchuck (talk • contribs)

[edit] Why is this important?

Thanks for raising this issue on Talk. I assume the thing you want to insert is the following:

In Ken Knight's book "THE MIDNIGHT SHOW~Late Night Cable TV Guy-Flicks of the 80's" an exclusive candid interview with Silvana Gallardo is featured where she talks about her controversial role in "Death Wish 2" and her on-going work as an Acting Coach to the Stars.

This doesn't seem encyclopedic to me. Essentially you are just telling people to go read that book without indicating what specifically it says about Silvana Gallardo. Outside views of Silvana Gillardo are what is of most interest. For example, a reliable critic telling us something about her career. Information authored by her (as in an interview) is of less interest. Does this interview dramatically change our understanding of Gallardo's work? EdJohnston (talk) 13:19, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

It's a rare interview of Silvana Gallardo and she talks about her role in DEATH WISH 2 as well as her current activities. I haven't seen another interview of her published(yet) and thought it was worthwhile to mention. I see your point though as it is slightly off-topic from the actress herself.

I notice you added the fact she lives in Kentucky. That seems like worthwhile information. If that fact comes from the interview in the book, then include the book in the reference list. See WP:REF for how to make references. Inline citations are the best, as in <ref> ... name of the reference.... </ref>.
I'm not yet convinced that a quote from the interview is worthwhile. Can you state here on Talk what you have in mind? Which of her words, that is? EdJohnston (talk) 16:18, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

I will get back to you here on TALK by next week with a quote from the Gallardo interview in that book by Ken Knight and see what you think. I'll read over it carefully and try to pick it out according to policy on references, etc. I want such a thing to be worthwhile as well (that way it remains in the article). Thanks again Ed.

I am also getting some advice on adding to articles from Dismas as well in TALK so I am seeking wiki-knowledge more and more! :) I am going to refer to you Ed when i decide to write a new article and see what you think of it first! Thank you sir. MaxButterchuck (talk) 17:04, 15 May 2008 (UTC)MaxButterchuck

I went over her book-interview last night and I tend to agree with you on whether it's a good idea to quote from her interview and I think I agree with your point about it not being exactly a great addition to her short bio as it's not "encyclopedic".
