Heino Bezuidenhout

Hello NikkCartwright. I took a look at your new article for Heino Bezuidenhout. Good job! As a member of Wikipedia:WikiProject Citation cleanup, I verified and expanded the details of the references in the article. They were fine, inasmuch as I was able to locate your sources, as a reader of the article might do. You might want to take a look at what I did to the code, just for your future use.

I also simplified the syntax of your wikilinks. If you're ever in the mood for some geeky reading material, here you go: Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Linking. I hope you enjoy contributing to Wikipedia, and decide to stay! Scottyoak2 (talk) 19:33, 14 April 2018 (UTC)

Famousbirthdays.com as a source

Hi NikkCartwright . I noticed that you recently used famousbirthdays.com as a source for information in a biography article, Tara Pavlovic. Please note that there is general consensus that famousbirthdays.com does not meet the reliable sourcing criteria for the inclusion of personal information in such articles. (See Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_153#Is_famousbirthdays.com_a_reliable_source_for_personal_information). If you disagree, let's discuss it. Thanks. --Ronz (talk) 16:10, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

Why? Well I used some other articles too so why was the page deleted? NikkCartwright (talk)

The article was vandalized. I've fixed it, though it is almost certainly going to be deleted unless more and better references aren't added. --Ronz (talk) 16:19, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

Vandalized? NikkCartwright (talk)

Melanie Wright

Also... I saw on my Facebook that Cole and Dylan Sprouse mother was listed as Melanie Wright, which comes up as a swimmer for Australia. However, her age is 31, while the boys age is 25, meaning, she must have given birth to them when she was 6? Is this correct? NikkCartwright (talk)
