  • Comment: Inline references are also needed, for claims like place of birth, residence, university education, modelling work, 7 years at 50/50, reviews by critics. If in doubt, add a reference at the end of every sentence (if there's too many someone will remove the unnecessary ones). If there is no reference you can cite, then your knowledge will be removed as "original research". Bogger (talk) 15:18, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
  • Comment: Copyright violation:
    See report. Phrases like tv show names, or names of degrees and univeristies are fine, but large sentences and sentence fragments that are identical from sources, and that is not allowed. Bogger (talk) 15:14, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
