First article

Hi jeri, I cannot really see too much to criticise about your article. Yours is about as Wikified as some older articles about actors eg. Dudley Moore. Some good article for comparison are Brigitte Bardot and Tom Hanks. In order of priority I would suggest:

It would benefit from sub-headings. Reasons:
- Automatically creates a table of contents
- Organises the text more logically
- Casual readers can quickly find what they are looking for without having to read the entire article.
Cite references.
- Without references your article will not meet the minimum standard.
Create lists of works

Just doing these will improve your article immensely.

Good work so far, you're doing very well for someone new to writing encyclopedic entries. It is very different to any other form of writing, and takes some getting used to.

Robert Saxon a fan site

Hi Jeri, I don't believe that the person who tagged the article is questioning the article's subject matter, it is more a question of style. Some statements are too effusive for an encyclopedic article. A Wikipedia article should concentrate mainly on verifiable facts, and any opinion is best expressed by quoting from articles or books concerning the subject.

Please do not feel possessive about the article. You have given Wikipedia a good start and hopefully other editors will lend their abilities to improve the article further.

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent contribution removed content from Robert Saxon. Please be more careful when editing articles and do not remove content from Wikipedia without a good reason, which should be specified in the edit summary. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you.--Xnuala 02:36, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jeri, I don't think that the tagging of your article is malicious, but instead it opens up the forum for all Wikipedia users to comment on the article. If you check out the article's deletion debate you will see some of my advice, which I will send to you later after work (I'm going to be late if I don't get moving!) If you would like, I can help you with rewriting to give the article a more neutral point of view. --Xnuala 11:47, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
