[edit] Helping out with the Unassessed Wikipedia Biographies

Seeing that you are an active member of the WikiBiography Project, I was wondering if you would help lend a hand in helping us clear out the amount of unassessed articles tagged with {{WPBiography}}. Many of them are of stub and start class, but a few are of B or A caliber. Getting a simple assessment rating can help us start moving many of these biographies to a higher quality article. Thank you! --Ozgod 20:30, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Will Arnett article

I sourced most of the information in the Will Arnett article, do you mind giving me feedback and re-rating it if you feel it's necessary? -- Fernandobouregard 03:25, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] EJO article

Thanks for your comments on the Elsie J. Oxenham article - I deliberately went light on the books themselves as there are separate articles on them and I didn't want to duplicate information too much. All her books are listed between the 3 articles Abbey Girls, Abbey Connectors and Oxenham Non-Connectors which are linked from this article, and I thought it best to show just a few relevant aspects of Oxenham's life in the article itself. Perhaps I should have a major re-think about this --Abbeybufo 11:22, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Fair enough - I'll do some work over the next few days to bring the books more into the article, and try and show more clearly how the dancing, camp fire etc influnced her writing - thanks for the encouragement --Abbeybufo 20:03, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

I've added quite a bit more now to this and would be glad of your feedback when you have time. Still aim to include a section on the places she used. Thanks again --Abbeybufo 15:06, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

sorry - trying to 'tidy up' and thought if it was already a B in one box it could be on the other as well - exit toad, blushing madly...--Abbeybufo 14:09, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Forest Whitaker/Comments

A tag has been placed on Forest Whitaker/Comments, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

unnecessary redirect to original page

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet very basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Mhking 02:33, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

As opposed to simply clicking on the "article" link at the top of the page? I'm not quite following. If that is something that has been permitted in other articles, then fine; otherwise, it is something that I would suggest not being present. --Mhking 02:48, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bal-Sagoth

You incorrectly removed a biography tag from this article. Band articles are tagged with the biography tag now though - please refer to Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography/Arts and entertainment/Musicians which says; "Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to Musicians and Musical ensembles/Bands." LuciferMorgan 09:04, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the rating :) I wasn't sure whether bands were included either till reading that passage I quoted. LuciferMorgan 10:50, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Forest Whitaker article

I have worked on the article in light of your comments. I hope I have improved it to your satisfaction. I look forward to your review.--Vbd (talk) 11:14, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for the B-status. I wanted to clarify one thing you said in your comments -- the "Personal life" section is not a sub-section of "Career"; it is a co-equal heading, as is "Early life." I ended up changing the heading levels to make the distinctions between the headings clearer.

I am having a hard time finding photos. It seems to be a challenge with celebrities. I thought I had a publicity photo that would work, but it got pulled. Any advice?

Thanks again.--Vbd (talk) 06:04, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
