refs for 13th amendment article

Howdy GLOOG, your refs in the AfC draft-article are now formatted a bit better. There are a few problems that we can chat about, before you head for the article-talkpage, if you like. The main ones are missing details like year of publication, and that sort of thing. Wikipedia likes for inofrmation to be verifiable, as Huon probably mentioned. Some of these sources are likely reliable (by the wikipedia definition ... which I usually call wikiReliable since it's not the same as actually reliable in every case). But for them to be verifiable, they need to have the details filled in.

I won't shield you from the truth: about half of the stuff in your draft-article, will probably never get put into the current article. Mostly the problem is focus, and to some extent, tone. Your draft-article does a great job giving historical background, and talking about modern repercussions. However, that's suitable for your blog, but not suitable for wikipedia. We have other articles that cover the history of Virginia, or the Constitutional convention, or the ratification process. The article on the original 13th amendment would have to be narrowly specific to that topic, and more importantly, EXTREMELY neutral in tone, just the facts, and that means, facts that can be verified in a published wikiReliable source.

So I don't want to discourage you, because it looks like you've been doing a ton of work on this subject, and that's going to be helpful here. However, this is also a subject near and dear to your heart. It's going to be very hard for you to stay neutral, and you'll have to listen to the objections that other editors make on the article-talkpage. Having been around the wikiverse awhile, I can predict that you will have to be exceedingly patient. But stay cool, stay polite, and find the wikiReliable sources that back up what the article in mainspace should say. If other sources say something else (aka the "lawyer sources") then that still usually means we can put in X says A , Y says B type of sentence, or a least a footnote. Interested readership will find the footnotes... just hover over them with your mouse, and they pop right up. However, anything that is truthful, logical, and factual... but not published in a wikiReliable Source... is not any help whatsoever. There's a pretty iron-clad rule around here called pillar#2 aka WP:NPOV, which says that articles should reflect what the WP:RS say about a topic. If there are no WP:RS for some particular factoid, wikipedia must usually remain silent... until there *is* such a published wikiReliable source.

Anyhoo, sorry about the long spiel. Hope this helps, feel free to leave a message on my talkpage if you like; click 'talk' by my name, click 'new section' at the top, and you know what to do after that. :-) Thanks for improving wikipedia, talk to you later. 74.192.84.101 (talk) 00:26, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Username concern

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "GLOOG1", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it represents an organization or web site, and combined with your efforts to publicize the cause on Wikipedia, it will likely result in this account being blocked. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. ~Amatulić (talk) 18:10, 21 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
