Welcome!
Hello, Smccoy38, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Steve Rimpici, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.
There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{ helpme}} on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

The article Steve Rimpici has been proposed for deletion because, under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{ prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Gaijin42 ( talk) 22:54, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
This article is horribly sourced. Please read our policy on what a reliable source is, and how to cite sources in footnotes. Most of the article is not footnoted. Some of it will never have reliable third-party sourcing, such as the commercials and Narrations and Corporate VOs. These cannot be sourced to the subjects own website or resumé, they must be sourced to independent third-party sources. I'll be removing large parts of the article. Don't return them without citing your sources using footnotes. Yworo ( talk) 17:10, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
I did research on other voiceover artists as well (more well-known) like June Foray, Casey Kasem, Frank Welker, and Bill Ratner. They all have only a few sources. I can certainly change the format to be more prose rather than credit listing. Would that help?
Question, do you own the rights to all five images in this collage? Because if you don't, it's a copyright violation and will have to be deleted. Every one of the five photos has to be your own work, not just the collage. Yworo ( talk) 17:19, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

This is my first page and I'm trying to get it right. I appreciate the comments you've given.
What needs to be footnoted?
I'm in school studying film and TV (with a particular interest in voiceovers). Mr. Rimpici was the subject chosen to do a wiki page for. Are YouTube videos considered reliable sources if they are on a different person (or studio's) channel?
Is IMDB a reliable source?
