Media appearances and Further reading sections[edit]

The problem with the Media appearances section is that it reads, "Daman has appeared on ..." How do we know this? The Wikipedia editor saw his appearance on these medias and reported within Wikipedia. Wikipeida editors should not be reporters. They merely need to use what happened in the media appearances to expand the biography article. The further reading section also has the same problem. How do we know that "Reports of Daman's work as costume designer for Gossip Girl can be found in ..." Because a Wikipedia editor saw these and reported to Wikipedia. Wikipeida editors should not be reporters. Instead, the material within each of the further reading references should be summarized within the Wikipedia biography article. The information in both the media appearances and further reading sections should be incorporated into the prose part of the article and the sections deleted. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 15:34, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the "Further Reading" section. I'm posting it below, so it's not lost (though it's always available in prior versions of the article). While it may contain good sources for expanding the article, it looks like some/many/most of the links are already used as footnotes. And it's unclear that any of the sources not already used have material that's appropriate to expand this article - as opposed to the Gossip Girl article, in which a detailed discussion of costumes would be appropriate. (See WP:UNDUE for a discussion of avoiding over-emphasis of a particular aspect of a subject.)
I note that the "Further Reading" section, per WP:GTL, is supposed to be for offline sources that are not in the article but would be useful to an interested reader (as an expansion of the article), similar to how the "External links" section is for online sources.
I also note that per WP:NOT, Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Thus it is not appropriate to provide links, this Wikipedia article, to every article that mentions Daman's work for Gossip Girl. Links are supposed to support text, not stand by themselves. Someone who wants to find every mention of Daman and Gossip Girl is welcome to do a Google search (or a Google News search). -- John Broughton (♫♫) 23:07, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Further reading [incorrect section heading, per above]
Reports of Daman's work as costume designer for Gossip Girl can be found in The New York Times,[1] and in InStyle,[2] People,[3]Entertainment Weekly,[4]Vanity Fair,[5]The Los Angeles Times,[6]The Wall Street Journal,[7] The New York Post,[8]) Us Weekly,[9] USA Today,[10] Nylon,[11] Teen Vogue,[12] Allure,[13] Italian Vogue,[14] and other publications and websites.
As noted here, Brianleeboyce was working to address the concerns noted within the further reading section and the other concerns noted within the article (via the templates). -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 08:07, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
An example of why it's definitely better to discuss changes to articles on article talk pages, not editor talk pages. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 00:23, 24 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
