Your actor additions to Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia/Unreferenced BLPs

We're trying to decrease the numbers, not increase them! Seriously, we are only (at the moment) interested in pages tagged with {{BLP unsourced}}. If you believe that a single IMDB link should be considered unsourced, then by all means tag them as unsourced and the list will pick them up next time I run a fresh, full check. Personally, I think that articles with only an IMDB link should be tagged as {{BLP sources}} or {{No footnotes}}. My updates will probably delete any pages added out of process as I don't have time to individually review each section - it's all just done on category intersections. Feel free to try to source some of them yourself - actors are probably the section that has decreased the least in the past month. We're almost out of sportsmen and politicians on the lists!

None of the ones I added have any sources at all that I'm aware of except for the single one which I commented on because it was a piece of pavement (off the top of my head it might of been Georgie Parker), There was many more with Single references or IMDB only references which I didn't add since the page is designed for articles of living people that are completely non-referenced. I'm intending to go Templating crazy :evil chuckle: tomorrowish. Peachey88 ^{(Talk Page · Contribs)} 13:20, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Some of them were tagged with the BLP unsourced, but weren't tagged as being in WP:AUS, which is why they weren't on the list. The remaining ones were either not tagged at all, or didn't seem to be in the Category:Unreferenced BLPs or Category:All unreferenced BLPs tree until I deleted the bot=yes flag. Hmmm... that could be a problem, even if the template documentation and source code doesn't seem to use that flag anymore! did an edit on them. Seems to be a cross-namespace move issue (to & from the Article Incubator). Might need to do a sweep of Category:Australian people against WP:AUS as well to catch the first bunch of missed articles. But please tag first, then they (should) show up on the list automatically. The-Pope (talk) 13:48, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Lauren Hewett

Hi, i visit your page also about the BLP unreferenced tagging. Specifically this edit by you added Lauren Hewett article to the tally of the big unsourced BLPs issue, when in fact it has 3 general references in the form of external links (one being IMDB) that are the sources for the info in the article. It is not unsourced. You might want to add {{BLP refimprove}} or {{Nofootnotes}} to similar articles that you notice. Thanks! --doncram (talk) 03:28, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

You may wish to to review those links because, IMDB isn't really a reliable source (See: RS Noticeboard Archives), The actresses official website is a self published/original research document and the geocities site is/has been dead for while.

Hi, yes i understand that there's been plenty of discussion about IMDB's reliability. My understanding is that it is basically okay for some kinds of information, but that doesn't matter exactly for determining whether BLP unsourced applies. It is clear enough that there are sources in the Laurn Hewitt article, so BLP unsourced is no longer the appropriate tag (and using it inflates the apparent size of the big unsourced BLPs issue). It is a different matter (and perfectly fair) to question the reliability of the IMDB or other sources. Please use a different tag than "BLP unsourced" to do that though. See also discussion Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons#IMDB-sourced ones. I wonder aloud there whether having some IMDB-specific tag would be helpful, but I am hesitant to create one without some more support and advice on what it should say. Your comments on that would be welcome. Thanks! --doncram (talk) 14:05, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Actually {{BLP IMDB-only refimprove}} and {{BLP IMDB refimprove}} tags were developed and are now in wide use. I applied the latter to the Lauren Hewitt article. These provide more specific communication to other editors and readers, hopefully helping in getting reference improvement help. Please consider using these tags elsewhere. Thanks! --doncram (talk) 13:04, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Template for deletion

Friendly heads-up {{Imagemap}} is deprecated and nominated for deletion. It has been superceded by changes to the File namespace and I wanted to let you know, since you have a transclusion on your userpage or user talk.
