[edit] Deborah Kerr

We are attempting to get GA Status for Deborah Kerr. Just look at the Talk Page. Can you get verifiable references for all the data you've added ? We cannot get GA Status withous verifiable references.

[edit] Deborah Kerr Talk Page

If you look at the Talk Page, you will see I have moved your data to the Talk Page.

Please also read the GA Assessor's comments on why Deborah Kerr failed GA status and what has to be done to achieve it. Having unreferenced data in the article will ruin any further chance. Please read WP:OR and WP:NPOV on why we cannot have unreferenced data in the article.

I note you base a lot of the data on your own research, unfortunately that counts as Original Research on Wikipedia as per WP:OR and cannot be included. However, those parts of your data for which you do find verifiable references, please put those parts back in the article.

I, too, am a great fan of Deborah Kerr and I believe the greatest honour we can do her on Wikipedia is to take her article first to GA Status and then to FA Status.

I hope you understand why we need verifiable references.

[edit] Thanks for your message

Hi,

Wikipedia aims to be a factual encyclopedia that can emulate the Encyclopaedia Brittanica or Microsoft Encarta – that is the reason for the insistence on verifiable references. However, your anecdotal data is available for anyone to read on the Deborah Kerr Talk Page and I am sure people will appreciate it there.

[edit] Sources

Hi,

I think you will find this useful as a guide to what Wikipedia regards as a verfiable source, WP:RS. I hope you stay on Wikipedia and start or contribute to an article that interests you.

We seem to have a lot in common.

In addition to being Deborah Kerr fans, I am a translator and writer too. I'm writing a novel.

[edit] Deborah Kerr and Cannes Film Festival

You added the detail that Deborah Kerr received a Cannes Film Festival Tribute. In what year ? We need the year.

Thanks,

[edit] Deborah Kerr GA Status

I just wanted to tell you that I have achieved my aim of getting Deborah Kerr to GA Status. One day I'll get it up to FA Status.

[edit] Deborah Kerr

Hi,

Thanks for your message.

In regards the introduction, that is actually governed by WP:Lead and WP:Notability. Wikipedia states that we must start off with the awards that a person actually won.

Now that we know in which year Deborah Kerr was honored by Cannes, we can add it to the article, without the year, we had to take it off.

As you can see, everything on Wikipedia is covered by rules .

As you are on "strike", I hope you will stay on Wikipedia and write, or contribute to, an article that interests you.

You are getting familiar with Wikipedia's rules so I am sure you'll find something here.
