Sorry to have used rough talk this morning. To emphasize, I'm not against your bio existing, but you definitely need to step up the sourcing now that it has been challenged at AfD. It might seem unfair, but it's the way that Wikipedia rolls. Find three good sources and do a victory dance, fail and it will be deleted... It's a rules-based system and it's actually quite just assuming you can muster the necessary sources. Those of us who have been around a while won't even start an article unless sourcing is obviously in place beforehand. Good luck with it, seriously. —Tim /// [[User:Carrite|Carrite]] ([[User talk:Carrite|talk]]) 02:58, 8 October 2016 (UTC) |

October 2016
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Gerald Gurian has been reverted.
Your edit here to Gerald Gurian was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Gerald_Gurian) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to an external Wiki, then please note that these links should generally not be included (see 'links to avoid' #12).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 18:50, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
Gerald Gurian category
Per Wikipedia:Overcategorization, "Note also that performers should not be categorized into a general category which groups topics about a particular performance venue or production (e.g. Category:Star Trek), when the specific performance category would be deleted (e.g. Category:Star Trek script writers)."

About Gerald Gurian Page
First of all hello! About your page, while I think it's pretty good for a first page, and the references used look pretty neat and organized, I think it is a bit too small to warrant its own page... I think it would work much better as an addendum to another preexisting page that focused on a similar theme! Best of the lucks! -- IshtarDragon (talk) 10:36, 7 October 2016 (UTC)
X-post from Jimbotalk
- @Tosresearcher - I advise you to redact your personal attack on JzG, or you will be soon researching Wikipedia's TOS as a blocked user. Carrite (talk) 15:34, 7 October 2016 (UTC)
- And at the AfD - as I wrote there, "did it ever occur to you they might be lying? The website claims I have no college degree - in fact I have a BA from Yale University, a post graduate Diploma from LSE, an MSc from the University of London and several other postgraduate qualifications."
