Removing the Conflict Of Interest and Lack of Citations notice

Help:

I'm cleaning up and using citations on a few Canadian writers, and trying to create pages on some stuff that's not covered here about the Canadian literary scene. On this page I get a conflict of interest banner. On another I get a lack of citations banner (John Stiles.) Will cleaning these articles up and adding the citations, etc remove these notices? How else do you do it? Also I want to expand them by creating entries on awards etc that are mentioned on the pages but not linked within Wikipedia. When I do try to link I get a dead one. Is there something I'm not doing? Any help appreciated.

Those tags don't automatically remove themselves when a person makes changes to the article; they have to be manually removed by an editor (such as you or me or anyone else who comes by) who reviews the article and makes a judgement that it's been improved enough that the tag no longer applies. I've removed the tag here, as the article is pretty clean and no longer presents COI issues; Stiles does still need referencing improvements, but if you add some real references then you are allowed to remove the unref tag.

I'm not entirely clear on what your issue is with the awards; if we don't have an article on the award yet, then you're always free to create one if you can. Could you explain more thoroughly what you mean if that doesn't answer your question? Bearcat (talk) 18:21, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No. You've answered pretty well Bearcat. I've got all I need to continue. I hunted down the references for Stiles today. Just need to put them in. Thanks. October 9 2010
