On 6 January 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Nehemiah Corporation of America, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that "mend it, don't end it" was advice given by the president of the Nehemiah Corporation of America to the U.S. Congress at a hearing on down payment assistance? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Nehemiah Corporation of America. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Nehemiah Corporation of America), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Good Day NewYorkActuary. I noted that you have made a couple of edits to the Donovan article Mellow Yellow. I had recently added references where citations were needed, but like you, I could not verify that Paul McCartney had played bass on the song Mellow Yellow. I was giving myself an extra day to see if I could find verification from another source, this I could not do, and you had already made changes to the article. As a rookie (my opinion) editor, I do have a question to pose if I could. Under "External links", the "Donovan Unofficial Site" is listed. Can this be also used as an acceptable reference? I wish to use it as a reference for the musicians, or I could just list the musicians without a reference. Some of the information regarding the musicians is also available from other sources that may be deemed as unacceptable. There is another error in the article regarding John Paul Jones' contributions, that I haven't been able to correct yet.
By the way, I have noticed that many, many music articles are in need of some refinement, and I am endeavoring to tidy some of them up. So I thank you in advance for a response so that I may continue to contribute accurately, Frankzappatwin ( talk) 19:01, 10 March 2017 (UTC)
As for your specific questions, the best place to discuss the reliability of sources for an article is on the Talk page of the article. However, this particular album article seems to have generated no discussion whatsoever since it was created, so I don't think there will be much of a discussion even if you do try to start one. My opinion is that an unofficial fan site is not a reliable source and should not be used as a reference. Indeed, I don't think the site in question should even appear as an external link (the guidelines for which also call for the site to be reliable). But one of the nice things about some fan sites is that they can serve as useful starting points for finding good sources. And that's the case here with the McCartney fact -- the site mentions Donovan's autobiography as a source. So, why not just use the autobiography as the source? The link for it at Google Books is [1]. I think that this is a much better source than AllMusic and, if you agree, you might want to use the autobiography instead and format it with the {{ cite book}} template (you'll need to go to the early pages of the Google copy to get the relevant bibliographic detail). As for the musician credits in general, some of it might be sourceable to the autobiography, but you might also try looking at modern-day CD compilations, which oftentimes include reliable liner notes or track listings that give detailed performance credits. Unfortunately, Donovan's own web site doesn't provide this information and you can't use Discogs.com as a reliable source, so finding this information, even if it exists, might be easier said than done.
I hope this response has been helpful. Feel free to ask follow-up questions. NewYorkActuary ( talk) 04:14, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

i noticed someone is seeding various articles with this name in an attempt to self-promote, fails notability, so the AFD is warranted, was going to change to speedy, hence removal, hadn;t seen that the AFD had been placed already, it wasn't there when I first visited the page.

In the fall of 2014, I left detailed comments on the talk page of the Jessie Holliday article, along with a request that the creator of the page do something to improve it. He has since been banned for disruptive editing. I would like to suggest that the article be removed: not sufficiently notable; no sources; and demonstrably inaccurate information. But I'd LOVE to know where the author got his info!!! The few facts that I have been able to verify since 2014 are correct. So what's his source?
Is this your ball park? Many thanks, gpeterw ( talk) 21:06, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
Thanks. As suggested above, I have proposed the article for deletion on the grounds that the subject is not sufficiently notable; the article identifies no sources; and contains demonstrably inaccurate information. gpeterw ( talk) 15:08, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
Hi NewYorkActuary, don't you think that's an important information, if a cultural event is for free and an open forum? Especially in a cinema? I don't think it's an advertorial sentence. It's more a further explantation for "non-profit". Anthology Archive in NYC for example is also non-profit but asks for admission for their events and films.

Why would you remove Henny from category "Jewish Comedians"??? His belated Bar Mitzvah is well documented by hundreds of mainstream nees outlets: there can be zero reasonable doubt that Henny was Jewish. Henny often used his Jewish heritage as a source of performance material - over his 70 years of performances, he mentioned his Jewish background in almost every performance (and since he rarely did only a single performance in a single day, often doing three and occasionally as many as 6-8 per day, he provably talked about his Jewish upbringing and/or heritage with between 25,000 and 500,000 people ***in person***! If you add in all the people who watched film, or video, he personally told MILLIONS of people he was Jewish. Your removal makes no sense. Measl ( talk) 12:05, 16 April 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I am new to Wikipedia and I have written my first article which has received feedback. Now after editing the draft further I hope to get it reviewed, but it hasn't been reviewed yet (April 2017 is when i submitted it for review). I do not know all too well if this is normal or if I have done something wrong. Please understand that I am not familiar with all the procedures yet and am hence worried.

Your recent editing history at United States Virgin Islands shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Hi! I recently made a change in the Mauricio de Maio article. I thought that it was better without that text section since it might be relating the subject too much with Allergan, which is not the case nowadays. But since I saw on the Talk:Mauricio_de_Maio that the notability is still borderline I will work on more source materials. He has other books written that I could not source propperly. Anyways, thanks for still watching the page. I'll keep working on it to make it better.
