Joe Walz edit

TexasFrank,

Thanks for the message on my page. First, you need to understand that when you put something in brackets on Wikipedia, it will attempt to link to an existing article on Wikipedia. Edits like the ones you created just make dead links, which is why people (including myself) kept removing them.

The proper procedure is to create an article first (see here) and then link to it later. A better source for that than Facebook is things like IMDB. Specifically, is [1] the guy? Is so, we can start building something. However, we have a few issues...

Wikipedia has a concept of notability. Basically, the not everyone or everything deserves an article. In a nutshell, "a person is presumed to be notable if he or she has received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject." IMDB is a good start, but other articles (not just links to videos he was in) are needed. Could you find press clippings in a local paper? Work done at a playhouse or theater? Frankly, an actor with just one credit to his name is a hard sell for notability, so links to additional work is really needed to make a case.

If you're serious about this, post some links here (you should be able to post to this page even with the block) and I can give you some advice for making a case for another editor wants making the article. There's also processes by which a ban like yours can be removed, that might be a hard sell for you. I'm posting here to give you a chance at this under WP:BITE. However, you have to give other editors the same courtesy. Your snarky comment to User:Newyorkbrad did you no favors.

Anyways, good luck. I'll be watching this page for your response, if you make one.
