Hello, I'm ScottishFinnishRadish. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Dollar Baby, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 21:51, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

HI ScottishFinnishRadish,

I'm hoping you received my reply regarding my entry in the Stephen King Dollar Baby page. Please let me know. Thanks. Danamoe1 (talk) 18:19, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

IMDb is nota reliable source, as it is user generated, and the other source is not independent. Is there any media coverage of showings or the awards you've said it won? ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 18:22, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi ScottishFinnishRadish - I'm have two citations from outside sources, but they are in the source of visuals. How do I send those? Danamoe1 (talk) 18:43, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Are they independent of the film or awards? E.g not simply an announcement at a film festival, or a poster? ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 18:45, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure I understand. They are a poster with my film listed and an entry from FilmFreeway showing that my film was accepted to the festival. Danamoe1 (talk) 01:24, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What we need is reliable independent sources discussing the film being accepted to or shown at the festival. That's what shows it's notable. A lot of things happen and we don't cover them because we rely on secondary sources discussing them to show they merit inclusion. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 11:27, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Can I send you a screenshot? Not sure how. Danamoe1 (talk) 17:12, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A poster wouldn't be an independent, secondary source. I know it's a bit odd, but that's how we do things here, to have some clear cutoff of what should be included, and what shouldn't be. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 17:17, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Just to clarify, what we'd need is some coverage in the form of a review of your film, or an article on the film festival mentioning your film as well as it's "Dollar Baby" status. The source would have to be independent of the film itself, so this wouldn't apply. The source also needs to be reliable, per what is outlined in WP:RS. I did a bit of looking, and so far it seems like there is not enough coverage in independent, reliable sources to add your movie to the list. I'd be glad to be proven wrong, if you can provide the type of sourcing we need. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 17:27, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome!

Hello, Danamoe1, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Dollar baby, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Hi there -

I'm new to Wikipedia, but here are two citations for the Stephen King film I adapted and directed in 2017. I'm hoping you can add it back to the Stephen King dollar baby page.
