== Will you help me with the Dance Moms article? ==

Would you like to help me with the dance moms article? I have been working on it,removing unsourced claims, fan cruft and the like. I had read you message on the dance moms talk page so that is why I asked. Thanks.--[[User:BeckiGreen|BeckiGreen]] ([[User talk:BeckiGreen|talk]]) 00:22, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

:Yes, that article really needs a lot of work. I will start taking a look at it and work on it. Anything in particular you had in mind? -[[User:Aaron Booth|Aaron Booth]] ([[User talk:Aaron Booth#top|talk]]) 02:28, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

I'm just trying to make it more encyclopedic, if that makes sense. If you read the talk page or the edit history for dance moms, you can see the kind of statements that I removed. There seemed to be a lot of fan cruft stuff in there that I removed,like that Melissa had an affair,cheated on her husband, stuff that violates BLP's. anything you can do would be great. Before I started working on it, it looked like a fan page with nasty opinions. Thanks for your time.--[[User:BeckiGreen|BeckiGreen]] ([[User talk:BeckiGreen|talk]]) 01:29, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your help today on Dance Moms with the Pyramid revert. I know the user did use good faith,as you wrote. I would have reverted it myself,but did not see it until afterwards. I don't know what source someone would be able to find to add it back,since the pyramid changes every week. I went to the LifeTime Dance Moms web page and there is nothing I could find about the weekly pyramid, but I dont think the pyramid belongs on the page anyway. Thanks again.--[[Special:Contributions/98.87.95.221|98.87.95.221]] ([[User talk:98.87.95.221|talk]]) 01:40, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, I wasn't logged in. I left the message above.--[[User:BeckiGreen|BeckiGreen]] ([[User talk:BeckiGreen|talk]]) 01:41, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

Thanks again for your help on Dance Moms. I saw on the talk page where you did a who is search, I was going to do the same thing last night,but I had to go to sleep. Also user Ivaroa keeps adding a direct link to the Candys Apple's Dance studio webpage in the summary of the Dance Moms article. I don't think you are supposed to add a link to a website in the summary of an article? I've seen links to web pages for shows at the bottom of an article but not in the article itself. I am also going to have to change user Ivaroa's use of adjectives again, she adds statements for Maddie like-is the winningest petite dancer on the program, which I cannot find a source for yet,and it does not sound very neutral. I guess it is user Ivaroa making these changes, she never leaves a message in the revision history. Please feel free to correct me if you think I should not remove what I discussed above. Thanks again.--[[User:BeckiGreen|BeckiGreen]] ([[User talk:BeckiGreen|talk]]) 22:29, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

:The Maddie line would be neutral if it was properly sourced. Also, "winningest" isn't actually a word. -[[User:Aaron Booth|Aaron Booth]] ([[User talk:Aaron Booth#top|talk]]) 01:33, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

== Rufio! Rufio! Ru! Fi! OOOOOH! ==

Apparently, you reverted my re-addition of the unsourced Homestuck mention in [[Dante Basco]] (which you had previously removed (for being unsourced)). Well, it's a fair cop. :) I had figured that maybe I could just put it back and no one would notice. That plan's trashed, but I did manage to track down something that could be loosely described as a source. I basically need to show that 1) '''Rufioh Nitram the Homestuck character was inspired by Dante Basco''' and 2) '''Dante Basco is a fan of Homestuck''', yes? Well, [http://rufiozuko.tumblr.com/post/34091889502/rufioh this post] from Dante Basco's blog has him 1) saying that he has been "immortalized as a troll" and 2) that he has "stumbled into this homestuck world". The picture is of Rufioh Nitram, from [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=007298 this flash page] of Homestuck.

The reason I haven't rushed to add the line back to the article is that firstly, I can't be bothered to figure out how to cite sources right now. It's hard, remembering all the markup techniques. Maybe later. Secondly, I'm not sure if this ''counts''. Primary sources are generally kind of frowned upon, right? While Dante Basco is without doubt a reputable scholarly source in regards to the origin stories of Homestuck trolls, I'm a bit worried that pointing to his tumblr with Homestuck things in it to show that he's into Homestuck might constitute ''original research''. Since you were the one to axe that line in the first place (and left a link to your talk page on my talk page), I thought I'd just ask you. Does this work as a source? [[Special:Contributions/62.44.228.229|62.44.228.229]] ([[User talk:62.44.228.229|talk]]) 19:25, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

:Sorry I haven't been on much recently. You are right that primary sources are frowned upon. Particularly personal blogs and social media sites. If something is suitable for inclusion (for example a list of an actors commercial credits, unless one of which is particularly notable (for example a mention in the [[Alex Trebek]] article on Colonial Penn Life Insurance is notable), would be a good example of something not suitable for inclusion) there would be multiple third party sources for the entry. While individual entries don't need much, if any, in-depth coverage, they do need to pass [[WP:INDISCRIMINATE]] as well as [[WP:RS]] and [[WP:V]]. Is there another source that you can find for the entry? -[[User:Aaron Booth|Aaron Booth]] ([[User talk:Aaron Booth#top|talk]]) 01:57, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

Hello Aaron,

Thank you for helping me set up the wiki page for the Sociological Association of Ireland.
I have recently made some minor edits, by way of updates. The box at the top of the page says the SAI page needs
links, inline links and references, but it has all of these now, so can we remove this box? Cheers.[[User:Liamled|Liamled]] ([[User talk:Liamled|talk]]) 01:25, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
