Talk:Mermaiding

This article has not yet been rated on Wikipedia's content assessment scale.

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Mermaiding's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "ADB":

• From Annette Kellerman: Walsh, G. P (1983). "Kellerman, Annette Marie Sarah (1886–1975)". Australian Dictionary of Biography. Melbourne University Press. Retrieved 15 June 2007.
• From Mentone Girls' Grammar School: Australian Dictionary of Biography- Kellermann, Annette Marie Sarah (1886 - 1975) (accessed:15-06-2007)

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 19:00, 7 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What is exactly is needed when I sent a link to the newspaper articles that were written about her life? Do we have to upload paystub showing she was a paid professional mermaid in the 90s like I’m willing to do that but I think it’s a bit extreme. Jenwren812 (talk) 14:15, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello!

If you click on the help link referenced above, it is a tutorial that should show you exactly what you need as a proper citation. Anything that is claimed must be backed up by 3rd party reputable published sources. I hope this helps! Titan70 (talk) 08:13, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Ellie has been a mermaid for over 30 years, so a lot of the information in this article is an accurate. I had a former employer attempt to make revisions, but editors just keep deleting her information because she even cited real sources from websites and it just kept getting deleted. There’s actually a documentary made about her life, and It’s been picked up by Amazon. How do we make the revisions? Her name keeps getting deleted from this article and she is one of the first original mermaid who started in the 1990s. What is needed in order to make this happen?
