[edit]Hi, RosalinaLopez. What can I help you with? Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:25, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
Latina Stereotypes in Hip Hop
[edit]Hello! I know this is part of a school project of sorts, but I'm afraid your article is not yet ready for the mainspace. I have moved it to Draft:Latina Stereotypes in Hip Hop where we can work on it further. I'm happy to help — MusikAnimal talk 17:47, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
- Pinging @Adam (Wiki Ed): Could we try to wikify this (not mandatory), but moreover there is some unsourced semi-contentious material about living persons. I also worry about issues of original research, but I trust that there's sources to back up the information, we just need to cite them. It looks like this draft was copied from some other wiki page, as I see raw [1] citations, and at the bottom I see "Jump up ^" which is the hidden text behind the rendered HTML for references. If we could identify where this was copied from that would make the cleanup easier, which I'm happy to help with. From there, we can figure out how to reuse whichever sources to support some of these WP:BLP issues — MusikAnimal talk 18:02, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
- Hi, MusikAnimal. Thanks for the ping. I'm going to wait for Rosalina to copy over the appropriate sources and then I'll take a pass on it. Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:37, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
I copied and pasted the content from the sandbox to the article page, unfortunately the citations did not link/cite the information correctly. Is there a way of me moving the page so it includes the citations that were cited in the Sandbox?RosalinaLopez. (talk) 18:05, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
- You can copy material from your sandbox from the edit mode--what you get after clicking "edit" or "edit source". When you copy from a page, make sure to copy into the target page using the same edit mode. You'll probably be using the VisualEditor for both, but make sure before you save the edit.

- Here since there were multiple contributors you'd want to move the page rather than copy/paste, so as to preserve attribution. That requires that your account be autoconfirmed, which RosalinaLopez is as the account has over 10 edits and 4 days tenure. Anyway I've moved the page for you and cleaned it up a bit. I'll try to help more tonight. There's just a few sentences here and there that I think will need to be sourced per WP:BLP policy, but otherwise the article is OK enough for the mainspace. In short, anything that could be conceived as contentious or negative about a living person must have an inline citation. Sorry to be so strict, it's just with the reach and visibility of the English Wikipedia, we have to be careful about what we say about living people. This has lead to lawsuits in the past, so yeah :) — MusikAnimal talk 19:30, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
- Hello again, please do not move this to mainspace yet. We still have issues to iron out. Like I said, I will help! Basically we need more sources where you are referring to real living people. This is a serious issue, thank you for your understanding! — MusikAnimal talk 19:32, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
