Welcome to WIkiproject Biography!

Welcome!

Hi, and welcome to the Biography WikiProject! We're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of biographies.

There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:

• Starting some new articles? Our article structure tips outlines some things to include.
• Want to know how good our articles are? The assessment department is working on rating the quality of every biography article in Wikipedia.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask another fellow member, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! -Duribald (talk) 19:18, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

To Do List

• Sarah Ash

March 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Mark Anthony (writer), but we cannot accept original research. Original research also encompasses novel, unpublished syntheses of previously published material. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your information. Thank you. –Drilnoth (T • C) 17:57, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi there. I have reverted an edit you made to Simon Armitage, as it constitutes original research. You might find it useful to have a quick read through WP:OR. As is pointed out above, "we cannot accept original research. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your information." Thanks! sparkl_!sm ^hey! 20:54, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

• The Rough Guide to Crime Fiction, By Barry Forshaw, Rough Guides . (2007)
• Who Else Writes Like...?, Edited by Roy and Jeanne Huse, 6th Edition . (2008)
• Bloomsbury Essential Guide for Reading Groups, Edited by Susan Osbourne, A & C Black, 2nd Edition .'' (2008)
