User talk:Linda Wolf

I have been advised by Jeremy, (see below) to add citations, which I did. I also edited the text to make it shorted, which was requested by a tag from orange mike. I humbly request that now the tags be removed now, if I have done what was requested. Linda Wolf (talk) 17:50, 23 October 2010 (UTC) october 23, 2010 I would like to ask anyone who is willing to please update my wikipedia page with sources. They are easy to find in google. Clearly, I didn't know I was not able to correct things myself. All apologies. I am a novice at this site, was glad to see it created and would love to see it stay up. Warmly, lindaLinda Wolf (talk) 22:20, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Teen Talking Circles[edit]

A tag has been placed on Teen Talking Circles requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. 9Nak (talk) 17:44, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for File:Linda.gif[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Linda.gif. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 23:06, 2 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Autobiography and conflict of interest[edit]

You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved, instead of writing it yourself, as you did at Linda Wolf. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.

Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to Wikipedia:No original research, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, and Wikipedia:Verifiability.

If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedia:Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you. Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Linda Wolf, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you.--Orange Mike | Talk 20:56, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re: adding sources[edit]

Hi Linda, as you have discovered, Wikipedia strongly discourages people from writing autobiographies (see WP:AUTOBIOGRAPHY). However I doubt that the article about you will be deleted, so if you can help provide sources for the text that is already there it would be helpful. Firstly, the sources should be third party sources and they should meet Wikipedia's guidelines on reliable sources. Once you have found reliable sources you can add them to the article as follows:

Text for which the reference is provided.<ref>Text of the reference</ref>

This will appear in the article as follows:

Text for which the reference is provided.^[1]

and the reference will appear in the references section:

References

^ Text of the reference

If you have a suitable photograph that you or the copyright holder (if you are not the photographer) is prepared to release under a free license,[1] I suggest that you upload it to our sister project, the Wikimedia Commons. Once an image is at the commons you can add it to the article using the code:

[[File:Example.png|thumb|Example caption]]

Re: Linda Wolf - fixing my wiki page[edit]

Hi. The age of the sources doesn't matter, and offline sources are OK—so long as someone could find the source in a library without too much trouble. It is OK for you to add sources to the article yourself, but you should probably avoid adding new content to the article now—it is not unusual though for people to suggest additions or corrections to articles about them on the article's talk page. The sources that you choose need to show that you meet the basic inclusion criteria for biographies, and preferably also that you meet one or more of the inclusion criteria for creative professionals—articles about you in mainstream publications would be ideal. We have a number of templates that can help you format citations in a consistent style (e.g. Template:Cite web, Template:Cite news, and Template:Cite journal), however, if you are unsure how to use these templates don't worry, just add the references and someone else will likely format them at some point in the future. Regarding the tags on the article, please don't remove them yourself—if no one else does it, I will remove them when you have added sources. Thanks, —Jeremy (talk) 19:04, 16 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Jeremy,

Well, we did it! Thank you for taking a look at the page now and hopefully we fixed the errors adding resources that are certainly verifiable -- hopefully also, you can remove the tags that look so stunningly like I'm making up my life story! Warmly, linda wolf —Preceding unsigned comment added by Linda Wolf (talk • contribs) 05:45, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

PS Jeremy, I see that the resources list still contains weblinks that perhaps should go into another place or not at all. Also, could you please add this where it is approprite... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_in_photography —Preceding unsigned comment added by Linda Wolf (talk • contribs) 13:48, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

PPS For some reason, when I click on my icon (linda wolf) at the top of my page, next to the my talk link button, it takes me to USER:Linda Wolf and says the page does not exist. Perhaps you know how to fix this also. Linda Wolf (talk) 13:57, 22 October 2010 (UTC) linda wolf oct 22nd[reply]

OK, I have removed some of the tags from your page. I have left the conflict of interest tag in place because you are still the major editor of the article; this tag should guide other editors to work on the article. Regarding your PPS, each editor of WIkipedia is entitled to a user page, for instance mine is at User:JeremyA. —Jeremy (talk) 02:03, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re: your messages[edit]

Hi Linda, I have replied about your article above. Thanks for supplying sources. As I mentioned previously, the best thing for you to do now would be to add nothing more to the article. If you want to suggest changes you could do so on the article's talk page; if there are urgent changes needed you could message me directly, or better still you can put the {{Help me}} template on this page with your request—someone should respond to requests made using that template within a few days. Please also feel free to help with other articles on Wikipedia, I'm sure that your expertise would be welcomed if you were able to fix any errors that you found in our photography related articles. —Jeremy (talk) 02:21, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Talkback[edit]

Hello, Linda Wolf. You have new messages at Rrburke's talk page.
Message added 15:56, 25 October 2010 (UTC). You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.[reply]

We've talked about this before, as the record shows[edit]

Please do not write or add to an article about yourself, as you apparently did at Linda Wolf. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you. --Orange Mike | Talk 14:10, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
