Need to add Infobox Christian leader[edit]

{{Infobox Christian leader}} should be added to this article. — MrDolomite • Talk 17:07, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Added infobox. JoeHebda (talk) 14:19, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Catholic-Hierarchy.org is not a reliable source[edit]

Catholic-Hierarchy.org is the personal website of David M. Cheney. The website states "The contents are purely the responsibility of David M. Cheney." This clearly does not meet WP:RS, which states that self-published sources are not acceptable. Please find a reliable source for the information now sourced to Catholic-Hierarchy.org. 32.218.45.149 (talk) 17:36, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

How update?[edit]

FYI, there are over 1,300 articles about Historical list of the Catholic bishops of the United States and the majority of these appear to use this source.

I am new to Wikipedia (since I retired this summer) and wondering if there is a tool to remove all these references?

JoeHebda (talk) 01:51, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Just because something is done in one article (or more) doesn't mean it's OK. Read WP:RS. This source doesn't appear to be reliable. Try to find a better one. You don't need to delete the source in other articles. Just concentrate on the ones you're working on now. 32.218.37.114 (talk) 15:17, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, so I will change only the dozen or so articles that I'm updating. My only concern is that on Augustine Francis Schinner article I did remove the reference for Catholic-Hierarchy.org and another editor did the 'Undo' of it. See that articles Revision history...

Woops, sorry above not correct article & I can't seem to find the exact one...it was a while ago... JoeHebda (talk) 16:46, 29 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What is the correct procedure that I should follow? Should I switch the reference to one of the other sources that have the same information?

JoeHebda (talk) 15:16, 29 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Post a Talk page notice?[edit]

On each article that I'm updating that has Catholic-Hierarchy.org as a source, should I post the above notice on the talk page? The notice is clearly written and directly to the point. Just thinking it might prevent future 'Undo' of changes...

JoeHebda (talk) 15:24, 29 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No - you don't have to start a discussion about every edit you make. As to "deadlink" and "better source" tags - it's far better to find a source/better source than simply to tag an article. For almost all of the tags you've so far plastered in articles, finding a source was a simple matter. 32.218.41.187 (talk) 18:06, 29 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If you could give an example? I don't really know how to find another source. Is there a list of valid wikipedia sources? JoeHebda (talk) 18:34, 29 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Example: Many of the links you tagged as deadlinks were to the Archdiocese of Milwaukee website. Often, as in this case, websites undergo reorganization. All the information is still there, but not at the same URLs. All you have to do is search the website and you'll find the info at its new location. Just substitute the new URL for the old one. To find better sources, use Google (and read WP:RS). 32.218.41.187 (talk) 18:40, 29 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Yes, I did find the website change for this Joseph G. Pinten article where the info was moved to an 'oldsite' folder. Just hope a website has Search feature. Also found article Wikipedia:Identifying_reliable_sources#See_also that has sub-section about locating. Definitely a lot for me to learn! Thanks again.
