Help?

Infobox: won't appear with details in article

Source: did I take too much from David Lincove's article (highly quoted throughout article)?

International Publishers: subsection is so long, does it deserve its own article or stub?

Footnote: now includes first reference (to "Max Shachtman Collection"): what's wrong with it?

I just killed the infobox. Not sure why it crashed. I don't like 'em and will use the space with a nice photo of A.T. pretty quick here... I don't think you used too much of Lincove's article since you footnoted it properly. There need to be other sources added, of course, but it's a good enough start. On International Publishers, I just started a page today and pared back a little of your content. I pounded the heading structure you were using pretty hard, apologies for that, but I feel it made things disjointed and very hard to read. Nice work getting this article started! Drop me a line if you have comments, questions, concerns. —Tim Carrite (talk) 20:43, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wiki-Links

FYI, left a few wiki-links that have no stubs or articles yet in the hope of encouraging their development (and as a reminder to self to contribute) --Aboudaqn (talk) 03:33, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, redlinks are good that way. One thing I always do before I start a new page is to run a search for the term and then go down the list establishing redlinks in every article which that search returns, where appropriate. Once you start the page, it's hard to go back and set the links, but if you do it before creation of the article, you can find all the times the subject occurs. Just a hint...
