Celebrity Rehab

Hi. Please see

WP:Citing Sources#How to format and place citations for how to use ref tags to properly format sources as so that they appear in an article's References section. It also shows you how to use the ref name tag in order to cite a source multiple times, so that you don't have to write it out four separate times

.

In addition, it's not appropriate to add that material to the middle of the section on Reaction to the program, since the source does not make any mention of criticism or praise of the show, as this would violate

WP:SYNTH. Conaway and Starr's deaths are already mentioned further down in the article, though I added the Guardian story to the passage about Conaway's passing, in order to mention the point about him being the second castmate to die this year.

BP spill - your request

Hi, I'm a bit confused about your request re Marshall Islands and this ref. At this point, can you add it yourself? If not, tell me where you wanted the ref to go and I can add it. petrarchan47^T c 02:48, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes Theory

Jwslubbock asked if this was ready to go live, over the locked page; I looked over it and concurred, and I've just put it into place at Yes Theory.

I cut a pile of stuff that read more like a press release than a Wikipedia article - but it's still in the history, so the references and so on can be retrieved - David Gerard (talk) 18:07, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks David, much appreciated.

I was trying to ensure that it met the Wikipedia criteria for notability, as it has fallen foul if that criteria in the past.

Your help is much appreciated. I’m sure the Wikipedia community will help build it up in an appopriate manner.
