This is the Talk page for Ron Diamond. Katherine311MH ( talk) 00:55, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
The article needs some work. The primary issue is that there are very few good sources about Mr. Diamond - just this one [ [1]] as far as I can see. I'd also reorganize it into early life, career, filmography and personal life sections. The company work could be subsections in the career section. Also, the section titles need to be sentence case, not all title case. TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 01:06, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
@ Katherine311MH:, thought I would answer here, so you have the info in one place. Here are ideas. Look at WP:CITETOOL, tons of good info. Under Templates, this is the one that may help:
By formatting the books in this manner, you don't need a ref/source/citation, and you can rmv the refs that you have now. I hope this helps! Not surprised that you ran out of energy, you have done a great deal of good work here! Good luck! Tribe of Tiger Let's Purrfect! 21:23, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
Also, read WP:PING, paragraph three. If you wanted Tim to answer, you should notify him. It would look like this {{u|Timtempleton}}. Same if you want me to see a msg here. I sent you a "ping" to this page, so you would know I had anwered. Tribe of Tiger Let's Purrfect! 21:38, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
I am trying to help format his book publication, work in progress....It is best to show the IBSN number, rather than a ref/cite to a book-selling website, which is frowned upon as promoting the commercial sale of items. This is understandable, as I am sure you will agree. Will continue to try to help, here. Here is a good example of how it should look: Yoshiko Iwamoto Wada, under Publications.

@ Katherine311MH:, sending a ping, so I can be sure you read the notes I made, just above. Tribe of Tiger Let's Purrfect! 23:07, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
and here: https://www.routledge.com/On-Animation-The-Directors-Perspective-Vol-2/Diamond/p/book/9781138066564 What are your thoughts on those DVD collections he curated? Not books but definitely work of merit...publications? Katherine311MH ( talk) 23:29, 5 September 2020 (UTC) Tribe of Tiger
Tribe of Tiger Hopefully this will work for pinging. Thanks for your continued patience.
Thinking about the book, Ron Diamond created and edited it (so it says on the cover) and Tom Sito and Bill Kroyer conducted the interviews. So, It does make sense that Ron is the author as he lined up the directors and put it all together. I had a question about the DVDs — as per your suggestion I asked at the teahouse and they sent me a link to follow (I will get to soon!).
To sum up notability: Ron Diamond owns and oversees (executive produces) a 30 year old successful animation company that has its own section at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences archive. He’s won multiple awards for producing (including an Oscar nomination). He created an animation industry magazine that has been in business for 25 years. Finally, he created an international animation festival (some might argue the most famous) that has been running over 22 years. Interviews with him (and about his projects) have been conducted by many sources, including Variety, Los Angeles Times, LA Business Journal, Animation Magazine, New York Times, etc.
Here’s a list of people in the industry who have Wikipedia pages but have done less:

@ 0mtwb9gd5wx: Thanks. There is so much information about Mr. Diamond, I think I've added too much. I want to whittle it down a bit before publishing; any help offered is appreciated.
Hi, GreenBlueGreen, I took the liberty of consolidating sources used more than once on this bio. I did remove one, a ref to another Wikipedia article, which is not considered to be a reliable source-- if there is a citation on that WP page that supports the text on this bio, it's okay to use that same source, just not the Wikipedia article. I also sent a query to Graham87 regarding moving this article to the title currently occupied by the redirect, without losing edit history for either page. There is probably a simple solution, but I haven't dealt with this before. − Are we having fun, yet? Grand'mere Eugene ( talk) 21:47, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
