Please see Wikipedia's policy on trivia sections and refrain from adding trivia to any articles. Thank you. ----Ðysepsion † Speak your mind 19:09, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
- Trivia sections are discouraged on Wikipedia. As I mentioned above please see Wikipedia's policy on trivia sections. One of the main reasons for this is that articles, in particular biographic articles on Wikipedia, should not resemble fansites. There are no "trivia" sections on any articles whatsoever. If there is one, they are tagged as such. The trivia section for the questioned article was removed a while ago by another editor but for some reason was reinserted without reason or regard to any policy. The best way to handle this is to incorporate the information into the article. Some of the things listed in the "trivia" section are already in the article. For example that she was Miss Hawaiian Tropic Japan in 2004, that she did commercials for Harvard Medical HMO, Coke etc., so there was no point in reinserting these. I've placed a tag in the section for now. Also, be very careful when using the undo feature without explanation. Doing so without explanation usually indicates that someone vandalized the article which I did not. ----Ðysepsion † Speak your mind 02:17, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
- Hi TheOldRonin, welcome to Wikipedia. As Dysepsion has said above, trivia sections are generally avoided in Wikipedia. The trivia section within the Candace Kita article repeats information from within the main text, and clogs up the article with unnecessary information. If you are going to undo another editor's edits, always include a reason. In this case however, I believe Dysepsion was correct in his edits and they shouldn't have been undone.
- For examples of great biographical articles, which will help you understand how they are written, please see Jackie Chan, Emma Watson and Reese Witherspoon. Somno (talk) 03:14, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
