Please see and respond to the message left for you at User talk:Paul David Wilson#User page. Thanks. Enter CambridgeBayWeather, waits for audience applause, not a sausage 06:39, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The best thing would be for you to go to Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard and ask them about the sources. Another good place to look would be Wikipedia:Notability (music) and see if you meet the guidelines laid out there. Cheers.

I think the best thing would be to go to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Music and ask there for input on it. There is Wikipedia:WikiProject Musicians but that does not seem very active and I think the first would get you more help.

Categories in Paul David Wilson

The following categories are inappropriate for an article about a person Category:Advertising, that category is for advertising in general, the article may be appropriate for categorization in Category:Advertising people, but even that I think is a stretch. Category:Songwriters should be American songwriters. Category:Song forms is for song forms, not for people. Category:Jingles is for jingles, not people. PDW is a person, not a jingle, also Category:Jingle writers is in Jingles so it is redundant. Category:Jingle companies same thing, he is a person not a company. Please do not add removed categories that are not appropriate, it does not improve the article at all. Also please make sure that you have read WP:COI for writing about articles that you may have a conflict of interest with. Thank you. --kelapstick (talk) 20:12, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion

Hi Paul, first let me thank you for your contributions to the Wikipedia project - they are greatly appreciated. I noticed that you are contributing to a variety of articles and talk pages, and I'm glad to see that. One thing I did want to mention was in regards to the Paul David Wilson article. Several editors have expressed a concern about a conflict of interest in regards to your edits there. While I don't see a problem with notability, it's generally not a good idea to work on your own article. There are plenty of Wikipedians who have their own articles (see: Article on Wikipedians), they generally don't edit their own articles. The main thing you may want to read over would be: Wikipedia:Autobiography. Normally, your best approach would be to let others do the editing, and for you to add comments, clarifications, and such to the talk page at: Talk:Paul David Wilson. Please don't think I'm "telling you what to do", rather I'm suggesting what is a standard practice here. Again, thank you for joining our family - and I look forward to working with you in the future. Cheers, and happy editing. — Ched : ? 01:29, 11 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bowen High School

Hello. When you're writing an article, please be sure to use your own words as much as possible. I recently removed a big chunk from Bowen High School because the material was copied directly from other sources. (Much of the information was also very out-of-date.)

You're free to re-expand the article, as long as you remember to paraphrase. Zagalejo^^^ 20:41, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

To clarify, I meant that some of the information is poorly paraphrased. There are still lots of whole phrases lifted from the sources. (For example: "In March 2002, Bowen submitted a request to convert to small school in response to a CPS Small School Request for Proposals..." "In 2002 under the auspices of the Chicago High School Redesign Initiative...") You should write in your own words as much as possible to avoid plagiarism and possible copyright problems.

You can restore the facts eventually, but only if the prose is entirely in your own words (as much as possible, anyway). You can work on a draft in your userspace: User:Pauldavidwilson/Sandbox. If you want, I can copyedit it for you when you're done. Just let me know.

I do think Wikipedia would benefit from a good article on Bowen, so I'm willing to help you out. However, I don't think this version of the page is ready to go live. Let's take our time, and try to make it the best article we can. Zagalejo^^^ 02:20, 23 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't mean to be a spoilsport, but I don't want you to get in trouble for plagiarism or copyright violations. We have to be careful about those things.

As I said, I do think Bowen is a worthwhile topic. If I have time soon, I'll see if I can reword some of the content you added. Zagalejo^^^ 14:29, 24 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for February 8

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Paul David Wilson, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Shasta (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
