Reliable sources - George Davis

Hi,

Thanks in advance for your help. My article about George Davis was reviewed and it was determined that I needed to include more reliable, verifiable sources. What information needs to be cited? Please help.

Best, El Shaddai Gebreyes

  • News and notes: Wobbly start to ArbCom election, but turnout beats last year's
    At the time of writing, this year's election has just closed after a two-week voting period. The eight seats were contested by 21 candidates. Of these, 15 have not been arbitrators (Beeblebrox, Count Iblis, Guerillero, Jc37, Keilana, Ks0stm, Kww, NuclearWarfare, Pgallert, RegentsPark, Richwales, Salvio giuliano, Timotheus Canens, Worm That Turned, and YOLO Swag); four candidates are sitting arbitrators (David Fuchs, Elen of the Roads, Jclemens, and Newyorkbrad); and two have previously served on the committee (Carcharoth and Coren). Four Wikimedia stewards from outside the English Wikipedia stepped forward as election scrutineers: Pundit, from the Polish Wikipedia; Teles, from the Portuguese Wikipedia; Quentinv57, from the French Wikipedia; and Mardetanha, from the Persian Wikipedia. The scrutineers' task is to ensure that the election is free of multiple votes from the same person, to tally the results, and to announce them. The full results are expected to be released within the next few days and will be reported in next week's edition of the Signpost.
  • Featured content: Wikipedia goes to Hell
    Eight articles, four images, six lists, and one topic were promoted to 'featured' status on the English Wikipedia this week.
  • Technology report: The new Visual Editor gets a bit more visual
    The Visual Editor project an attempt to create the first WMF-deployable WYSIWYG editor will go live on its first Wikipedias imminently following nearly six months of testing on MediaWiki.org. A full explanatory blog post accompanied the news, explaining the project and its setup. Once a user has opted-in, the editor can handle basic formatting, headings and lists, while safely ignoring elements it is yet to understand, including references, categories, templates, tables and images. At the last count, approximately 2% of pages would break in some way if a user tried the Visual Editor on them; it is unclear whether any specific protection will be put in place beyond relying on editors to spot problems.
  • WikiProject report: WikiProject Human Rights
    In celebration of Human Rights Day, we checked out WikiProject Human Rights. Started in February 2006, the project has grown to include over 3,000 articles, including 12 Featured Articles, 3 Featured Lists, 66 Good Articles, a large collection of Did You Know entries, and a few mentions "in the news". The project monitors listings of popular pages and cleanup tags. We interviewed Khazar2, Cirt, and Boud.

Resubmission of article Dr Beric John Croome for review

Dear FoCuSandLeArN

I've rewritten the article taking account of your advice and have resubmitted it for review (I think I followed the right process - sorry, I really am struggling to get my head around the Wiki programme, I'm trying not to blame my age!! :))

When you have the time, could I please ask you to check that you have received the edited re-submission in your review queue?

If you have any further queries please do not hesitate to let me know and I'll rework it again.

On another note, I was reading your "user page" and I see you're a member of the "kindness campaign" - just want to say what a wonderful idea that is! We need more kindness in the world and to find out that Wikipedia actually has a policy to encourage it was lovely to read (although, in a way, sad too, that people need a policy to remind them to be kind!) But full marks to Wiki & their team for highlighting the need and doing something positive!

hello there! thank you for your comments. the submussion will be reviewed as soon as possible, don't worry. yes, there is a kindness campaign, and it is worrying that such campaigns need exist, but better to have one than not. i am aware of the increasing regulation of personal and societal values and as such it should be unnecessary, but as it is it seems like the most prudent thing to do. happy editing!

No rush - when you have time (I'm not sure everything I edited is showing up). And yes, much better to remind people that a little kindness goes a long way than to do nothing and let kindness as a human quality disappear in the anonymity of the internet. Have a great day and enjoy the holiday season, Best, Judy :) Aztar Press (talk) 19:52, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
