Talk:List of people from Leeds

message: Can we do anything about the total lack of references please? WP:GM has done some revamping of the articles under List of people from Greater Manchester which seem to be effective. Perhaps something simillar could be done so this doesn't get out of hand? --Jza84 |  Talk   19:33, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: This definitely needs doing. A fully referenced summary can then appear on the Leeds article. MRSC (talk) 06:53, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I am going to move all the unsourced content to this talk page within the next 24 hours, and try to reconstruct the page (to a small extent only though) using the Lists of people from Greater Manchester as a guide. --Jza84 |  Talk   13:23, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sources? 

message: Just a nudge that the Internet Movie Database is not, I repeat, is not a reliable source! It is an open source project that can be editted by anonymous individuals just like Wikipedia! It does not have a good record for publishing facts. Anyone can add material to it, meaning many things like birthplaces are based on heresay.
It should not be used on Wikipedia wherever possible. Its use should be supplanted with a reliable, third party, closed, published source. 
I'm not going to remove its use here, but it's just a friendly tip so we can improve this page. --Jza84 |  Talk   23:21, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: No probs. I've tried to avoid IMDb where I can. I think in the cases I have used it, there are other sources, but I cannot see them fully on google. (e.g. the gbook search  for Vesta Victoria shows good info, but I cannot read the text even in snippet view). I guess I could use them as refs, but I wasn't too keen on doing so without properly knowing what they said. I'll have a further look and see if I can remove the IMDb refs.
