Citations

I cited all references and added categories. It looks like someone did some additional organization, however, it was recently tagged as needing "clean up". What needs to be done specifically? I will do it but I'm unsure as to what needs to be done at this point. Thanks so much, Hannah Goldstein

I added the cleanup tag because there are a perhaps unnecessarily large number of outside links in the text that clutters the article a bit. Also, some of the listings of shows and performances make the article a bit long and could perhaps be cropped to include only major shows to shorten the article. I'm not saying that there is anything overly wrong with the article, I just added the cleanup tag to get further opinions about how the article can be made better, and adding a tag draws helpful attention to the article. -Fearfulsymmetry 20:22, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

I would also, however, like to commend you on the amount of information you put into this article. Perhaps a bit too much, but you obviously spent a lot of time on it and that's excellent. -Fearfulsymmetry 20:24, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

I was trying to cite references and I guess I went too far. I'll clean it up a little. Thanks, HG

I cleaned up the whole article. I simplified sections, removed group exhibitions, press lists, outside links, and clutter. I'm still working on the inline citations and references. Hannahgoldstein 7 December 2010 —Preceding undated comment added 05:32, 7 December 2010 (UTC).

There should be inline citations to reputable sources for each fact. As a rough guideline, one or more in each paragraph. Which is why i added the citation missing back. I suggest you read the Wikipedia guidelines in the header above, and those on what and how to cite. Lentower (talk) 05:44, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Thank you Lentower. Will do. Thanks for the tips. Hannahgoldstein (talk) 07:08, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Most welcome. I meant to say that I agree mostly with Fearfulsymmetry that you have done a lot of good for this article. The ideal here is to get this article to FA status. Today's FA is a biography Daniel Lambert. You might have a look to get a better idea of where you should be headed. I have some small issues with this FA article (including it's length), and haven't gone over it in detail. Lentower (talk) 08:03, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

See WP:GACR & WP:GA. and less importantly WP:FACR & WP:FA Lentower (talk) 15:00, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

This input was extremely helpful. I have completely re-written the article by referencing a plethora of interviews with Cynthia. I'm going to carefully edit my text and then I'll upload it. It's MUCH more interesting now. Looking at other articles helped me to figure out how to write it. I think that you will all be happy with it. Hannahgoldstein (talk) 10:43, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Most Welccome. Await developments. Btw, ~~~~ is not an Edit Summary Lentower (talk) 13:08, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Please help copyedit

If anyone sees any typos, punctuation, or spelling errors, please fix them. Thank you, HG

POV

This article needs more balance. It is too supportive of the artist as it is. Lentower (talk) 05:44, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

I'm working on that right now. I completed re-hauled the text. I am still going through it line by line fixing all of the problems. I just figured out how to add inline citations. I removed the long list of press articles with links (as references) and now I am adding proper references. Question: What is the best format for <refs>? I have most with url links, but some I only have the writer, the name of the article, the publication, and the date. Any help with the proper formatting would be helpful. Please do not make changes while I'm working. Post any ideas or suggestions here and I'll fix everything so it is copacetic. Hannahgoldstein (talk) 01:49, 7 December 2010

See my comment at User_talk:Hannahgoldstein#Cynthia_von_Buhler_images.

You can't stop other editors from editing an article. It against the guidelines and improving WP. I try not to edit, while another editor is.

WP is moving to using full Template:Cite inside refs:

<ref>{{cite TYPE | ARG = VALUE | ... }</ref>

The first few {{cite's are a learning experience, then it's just cut-n-paste between windows. There are quite a few WP: articles on doing citations this way. Lentower (talk) 08:29, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

WP:CT#Examples is easier to understand than Template:Cite. The links in column two provide more info, you can cut-n-paste fill-in-the-blanks from column three. Note WP:FN & WP:CITE as well.

It is most important to have a minimally formatted reputable citation, even just the http:// link, than do a fully formatted {{cite . I.e. the quality of the citation comes first Lentower (talk) 14:48, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Useful cite creation tool

Give a URL to http://diberri.dyndns.org/cgi-bin/templatefiller/index.cgi?ddb=&type=url&id=&vertical=1&extended=1&add_param_space=1&add_ref_tag=1&dont_strip_trailing_period=1&full_journal_title=1&link_journal=1&add_text_url=1&add_accessdate=1 - and it will generate a lot of a <ref>{{cite www template, with the empty arguments ready to fill in. select, Ctl-a, Ctl-c, change windows/tabs, select, Ctl-v: VIOLA!!!

www.comeinsidekitty.com

Found http://www.comeinsidekitty.com/ on the Scholastic bio. Might be incorporated into the article, beyond the link in the footnote quote. Lentower (talk) 01:16, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

I just noticed http://www.comeinsidekitty.com/ is in the /* External links */ section. Lentower (talk) 03:34, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
