Craig Graham draft
[edit]Those in the news pages may help Wikipedia editors locate reliable source info. (Note: The article also is at Cat in the Hat/MarkBurberry32 sandbox.)}} Going forward, feel free to post on my talk page or User talk:Widefox. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 16:27, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for your note.[1] I revised the draft article located at User:Sydneysider1979/sandbox. The AfD close only said to userfy and the page was moved toUser:Sydneysider1979/Craig Graham. The AfD wasn't clear as to whether it was delete and userfy or "moved because it is not ready to be seen by the public" and userfy (see Wikipedia:Userfication.) The article still reads more like a resume than a biography. However, given the AfD close and that the page no longer is substantially identical to the deleted version, you might be able to move it to article mainspace and not have the article speedy deleted under Wikipedia:Speedy#G4. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 07:34, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
- To learn how to develop an article, just look at the FA rated article for whatever you are interested in. For Biography articles, go to Wikipedia:WikiProject_Biography and look at their Biography articles by quality and importance table. Then, click on the top FA articles link, which brings you to a Top Fa class article list. Using any one of those as a template will give you a good idea of how to put together a biography article. Graham's a television producer. So go to Wikipedia:WikiProject Television and check out their assessment chart at Wikipedia:WikiProject Television/Assessment. Click through the FA article numbers in the table uintil you find an article for a television producer. You can also look at articles listed in Category:Australian television producers to find a GA or FA rated article and use those as a guidline on how to develope your article. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 05:37, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Hello, Sydneysider1979. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Craig Graham, you should consider our guidance on Conflicts of interest and take a look at the Plain and simple conflict of interest guide.
All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.
If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:
- Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
- Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
- Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
- Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.
Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.
For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Widefox; talk 20:43, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
