Help me with...NOTABILITY / REFERNCES

Hi, I am creating a page for a guitarist named Adam Rafferty.

I have added 2 references and removed the one tag that it said I could remove once I have entered a reference.

However, there were remaining tags showing warning boxes regarding "notability." I looked up and read on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:N and felt it was ok for me to remove the notability tag.

I am unsure how to show WIKIPEDIA "additional citations for verification". I'd love to get these tags off his page.

How do I do this? I am lost in the "help" pages WIKIPEDIA offers.

He's an independent artist with a guitar career that spans over 20 years, worldwide tours, CD releases etc...in his field he is well known and "notable". I have added the references on his page (books, magazines) and would like to get the WIKI page in tip top shape.

Any help would be appreciated. You can see the page in progress here.

Thank you

Judith

In short, Wikipedia content should summarize what reliable independent sources say about the subject, and it should be verifiable from the given references. For example, take this statement: By the age of 6, he was studying with local legend Woody Mann and exploring blues and country music. How can I verify that? The Jazziz Magazine article says he was playing blues at age 6, but it doesn't mention country music or Woody Mann. The impression I get is that major parts of the article are not based on any third-party sources, and that some pruning will be necessary. Huon (talk) 18:40, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wikilinking

Hi, and thanks for your work on the English Wikipedia.

I noticed an article you worked on. Just a short note to point out that we don’t normally link:

dates
years
commonly known geographical terms (including well-known country-names), and
common terms you’d look up in a dictionary (unless significantly technical).

This applies to infoboxes, too.

Also note that titles are not upcased. Easy to forget!

Thanks, and my best wishes.
