Cleanup templates

I have added {{Bare URL}}, {{Sections}} and {{BLP sources}} templates to the article per WP:TMC#Best practices in obscure or unpopular articles. These are just meant to be helpful and attract the attention of other editors, so that problems with the article can be corrected. Below are a brief explanation of the problems and some possible ways to fix them:

1. Bare URLs: Bare URLs are not really desirable because they create the potential for link rot. Bare URLs can be cleaned up in a variety of ways. The easiest way to do so it by using citation templates. Formatting these templates is not really a big deal, but it would be a waste of time to format sources do not satisfy WP:RS.
2. Sections: Articles are much easier to read when they are divided up into sections per MOS:LAYOUT. Since this article is a biography of living person (BLP) it might be helpful to look at some featured articles which are also BLPs to see how this is done by others.
3. BLP sources: All Wikipedia articles, especially BLP articles, are supposed to be based upon reliable, and published sources. For BLP articles, sources must also satisfy WP:BLP#Reliable sources. IMDb pages are not really considered to be "reliable" sources for any type of article per WP:UGC, but should not be used for BLPs per WP:BLPSPS. Facebook accounts need to be used carefully per WP:FACEBOOK and WP:BLPSELFPUB. I'm not sure if it's OK to use this facebook post to say Miller was diagnosed with MS in 2008 because that's not what the post explicity says. Maybe the statement could be reworded to say "In August 2012, Miller announced via Facebook that has Multiple Sclerosis.", but i'm not sure if even that's acceptable to say. The Amazon source makes no mention of Miller at all so it's problematic per WP:RSCONTEXT. It would be better to cite the passage in the actual book that covers Miller and her writing. The Miasha source does mention Miller and her influence on Miasha, but the page appears to be a blog, which again is unacceptable for articles about living people per "WP:BLPSPS"; For reference, WP:BLP applies not only to subject of the article, but also to all living people mentioned in the article, so the Miasha source is being used as not only as a source about Miller, but also indirectly about Miasha.

The BLP sources problem is the more serious of the three. It would be much better to get rid of all of the blogs, IMDb, and Facebook stuff and look for reliable third party sources to take their place. I will see what I can find and hopefully others will be able to find some too. - Marchjuly (talk) 07:09, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

Photos and copyrights

@Afam Sister: The photos File:Karen 2012b.jpg and File:Karen E. Quinones Miller in full white suit.jpg you've been adding to the article were being used on other websites before you uploaded them to Wikipedia according to a reverse google image search. So, even though you are claiming to be the copyright holder, Wikipedia cannot be 100% sure that is really the case. I suggest reading "Wikipedia's image use policy" and "Wikipedia:Declaration of consent for all enquiries". Wikipedia takes copyrights very seriously so whenever there is even the slightest possibility of a problem, it tends to err on the side of caution and remove the image as a precaution. So, just to be on the safe side, please read the above links and follow the indicated steps. This ensures there will be no problems down the road. - Marchjuly (talk) 11:29, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
