Wikipedia articles must be based on reliable sources to establish notability ... without them, Gale Gand is just original research, which is prohibited by official policy.

Please read the Wikipedia official policies and guidelines that list the criteria for Notability (people) (WP:BIO) and Biographies of living persons (WP:BLP) for further information ... if you have written this article about yourself or a close relative, then you also need to read both Autobiography (WP:AUTO) and Conflict of interest (WP:COI).

As a litmus test of WP:A for a biographical article, there should be enough WP:RS publications about the subject that the first paragraph answers the questions "When and where was he born?" with a properly referenced citation ... for example, consider the following:

John Quincy Public (1963-11-23 to 2001-09-11) was born in Ypsilanti, Michigan.^[1] He is notable for coincidentally having been born on the day of the John F. Kennedy assassination, surviving the same accident on the day of the first moon landing that killed both of his parents, and having died on the day of the September 11, 2001 attacks.^[1]

Hello, Lafong ...

I noticed that you had made a Very Common newbie mistake in trying to archive the Gale Gand article before it evaporates ... you copy&pasted the displayed version rather than the document source (you should open it via EDIT THIS PAGE and then copy what's in that dialog window) ... I did the right thing and replaced the copy you made in your sandbox, but Esmeralda Ortega (talk · contribs) must have thought that I was an anonymous vandal and reverted it.

Well, I tried to help, but since it is obviously not appreciated, I shall not be offering it to you again.

Last bit of advice ... you can have multiple sandboxes with practically any name, not just "/sandbox" (BTW, you could have called it "/Gale Gand") ... please see the lists of my sandboxes for examples ... I just haven't created the redlinked ones yet.

Happy Editing! —68.239.79.82 (talk · contribs) 01:15, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

I saw you tried to make a page protect request, to do so, you need to go to WP:RPP. However I checked the article and it has no recent vandalism. If there is vandalism to the article in the future, you can report it when that happens. Momo san ^Gespräch 06:10, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi. When you recently edited The Adventure of the Cardboard Box, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Brain fever (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I've noticed that you are putting 4 tildes (~~~~) at the end of your edit summaries, which is a common mistake. Adding those to an edit summary does not actually sign anything. The tildes belong at the of your message whenever you are editing a talk page (NOT an actual article). This means that they go into the text itself, rather than the edit summary. If you have any questions about this, please see Wikipedia:Signatures or leave a message on my talk page. Happy editing! -- Fyrefly (talk) 17:46, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Calling All Angels, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The Chair. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
