- No problem in that, just remember to have a look at a few of the basic principles behind Wikipedia; verifiability, neutrality, and no original research. Let me know if you have any questions :) Bjelleklang - talk Bug Me 00:30, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
- Basically a valid reference is one published in some form by a reliable source. Also, I just saw that I managed to forget one policy in the above links; which is the notability policy. All articles have to conform to this policy in order to be included into the encyclopedia, and the use of references normally would accomplish this as well as the criterias listed in the verifiability policy.

- It depends. Wikipedia has a fair use policy regarding images which is quite strict, and you should have a look at this first to determine if the images you would use falls under this category, or could be used under a different license. See Wikipedia:Image use policy for more information. Bjelleklang - talk Bug Me 00:51, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
- As for the category, it should be possible to list him by using [[Category:Categoryname|Lastname Firstname]]. Don't get scared off by all the policies and guidelines. The basics are found in Wikipedia:Notability, Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:Neutrality. Most (not all) other guidelines or policies are extensions of these, and mostly contain more detailed information. I'm off to bed now, but feel free to leave any more messages at my talkpage for me to respond to sometime tomorrow. Bjelleklang - talk Bug Me 01:11, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
- I have deleted the article as per your request. If you have a need to delete articles you created yourself, this can be requested by either contacting an administrator or placing {{db-author}} on the top of the page. Bjelleklang - talk Bug Me 16:53, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
