I messed up the formatting. I was looking for assistance with creating a page for a living film director producer thanks~ Qstor2 (talk) 13:48, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I noticed. What kind of help do you require? Some useful pointers might be WP:BLP, WP:V, WP:RS, etc. Also, the Teahouse may be some help. But I, sadly, cannot read you mind, only your talk-page. Kleuske (talk) 14:27, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

We started talking about this draft on IRC channel #wikipedia-en-help but I wasn't able to stay.
I wonder if 'unionist' is the best disambiguator. It will be up to the accepting reviewer to decide, no need for you to change it.
It would be helpful if you learned how to use a source more than once, so it does not show up multiple times in the ref list. See WP:NAMEDREFS. It would also be helpful to use the {{cite news}} template consistently - those big bare URLs make everyone work harder.
The obituary you cited as ref 1 to "Default" has an identified - but connected - author and appears on a website named Lawfare run by Goldsmith. The citation should include that information.
Normally, articles attributed to "staff" as in ref 2 are discounted as not having an identified author. Maybe that's not a problem in this case.
DocumentCloud is not a publisher, really. The provenance of this memorandum needs more documentation if it is to be used. We see from other sources that the Detroit Free Press had made the full text of the Hoffex memorandum available, so we need to see a better tie between the Freep and the document and whatever claim there is to support its authenticity as an FBI document.
When citing the author of a newspaper article, you need to extract the actual name from the byline so you don't get ridiculous renderings like the one in ref 5.
There's a template named {{rp}} that you can use to add specific page numbers footnotes for a book that you wish to cite multiple times.
Ref 18 from Esquire is a problem. It's quoting something from the sub-headline of the article that does not appear anywhere in the article. As we all should know, editors write headlines, not reporters, so this is not a good source for that quotation. In addition, the pronoun "He" in the second sentence is too far from its antecedent, with two other male names in between. It would be best to repeat O'Brien's name at that point.
There may be enough substance in the mentions in the NYT about O'Brien to meet the notability criteria. I'm not sure it's a certainty, but cleaning up the reference citations as I've suggested should make it easier for a reviewer to make the determination. — jmcgnh(talk)(contribs) 04:39, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot! How can I "officially" link to my new page. I made 2 edits and linked to it, without getting an "official" notification. Qstor2 (talk) 13:07, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think you will only get notifications if other people link to a page you started, that is how it works for me. TSventon (talk) 13:35, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
