Given your username, you may have a conflict of interest in writing about
Stephen M. Etnier.
If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a

If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

I saw the draft from the link on your userpage and it looks reasonably neutral to me. Things to avoid are "greatest artist ever" unless you can quote a reliable source that calls him that (or anything else - see WP:PEACOCK and WP:NPOV.
It would also help if you used inline citations. This is fairly easy to do - basically you just add a ref tag and put the material in it like this: <ref>Smith, John. ''Big Book of Famous Artists'', Some Publisher, 1999, pp 45-56.</ref></ref>. Then you put this after the sentence(s) it needs to back up, and put {{ reflist}} at the bottom in a References section, so
Sentence needing a ref. [1]
You can also get fancy and use {{
cite book}} and {{
cite journal}} for magazines.

Your welcome! Always willing to help out. I also wanted to let know that I nominated your article to appear on the Main Page as part of Wikipedia:Did you know. You can see the hook for the article here, where you can improve it if you see fit. -- D.B. talk• contribs 03:53, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
The images of the piantings are very nice - it might be useful to add their dates to the captions. It is possible someone may question the copyright status, if so you may need to go through the Wikipedia:OTRS system, but that is a bridge to cross only if needed.

I left you some feedback on WP:FEED#John Etnier per your request. Sorry it is so late. I haven't been giving feedback as often lately (school and whatnot), and there aren't many editors that consistently watch that page. If you enjoyed getting the feedback, you should consider answering somebody else's request on that page! :) Killiondude ( talk) 07:36, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
Could you give me one example of something you want added as an inline ref and I will do it and then you can see and ask questions if it is not clear? Ruhrfisch ><>°° 20:38, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
Many thanks!
At the end of "Final Years" there are two hyperlinks. They also appear as last two items in the reference section.
Perhaps I put them in OK, but it doesn't seem right to me. Seems like the hyperlinks at the end of "Final Years" should just be numbers pointing to the References section?
