J.A. Vrugt Edits

Sphilbrick, thank for your suggestions on my 1st article, "Jasper A. Vrugt"! Your input has been very helpful to me.

I have addressed each item as follows:

• External links: I removed these or turned them into footnotes where appropriate.
• Research section: For the moment, I have removed the research section until I have time to rewrite it and then cite it
• The 60+ papers citiation... I am not able to link into the results as this is a password protected site. However, I was able to find similar results thru the Scholarometer site, so I added that as my citation.
• Footnote 4: I was not able to find the article online - so, I have added a citation to the article in print.
• I adjusted the footnote formatting error. The footnote notations now follow the punctuation.

Here is a link to the original suggestions you had made: Wikipedia:Requests_for_feedback/2010_December_7#Jasper_A._Vrugt I am getting acquainted with how things work within the Wikipedia community and figured I should try to move the comments on this article to my talk page. :)

If all the edits meet Wikipedia standards, does this mean that the article is ready to have the "unreviewed article" message removed?

Thanks again! Isolde2000 (talk) 18:37, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

Nice work. I removed the "unreviewed" template. You still have an embedded link at Jan Hopmans, which would be better as a footnote.

Thanks for the contribution.--SPhilbrickT 19:03, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

Is DREAM a reference to DREAM (software)? Seems likely, or else quite a coincidence. If so, it would be good to wikilink it. I think you know how – replace DREAM with [[DREAM (software)|DREAM]].

It may also be appropriate to add a See Also section in DREAM (software) to link to Jasper A. Vrugt, which would allow us to remove the orphan template. Let m know if you don't know how to do this.--SPhilbrickT 19:22, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

Wonderful to see everything coming together! I have adjusted the Jan Hopmans external link and turned it into a footnote. As it turns out, the DREAM software that is already on Wikipedia IS a different "DREAM" than the one Vrugt worked on - even though both seem to have ties with UC Irvine! At the moment, I'm not certain what other opportunities for wikilinking might be out there. I took a look at the article for the James B. Macelwane Medal thinking that the medallists might be listed - and pose an opportunity for a wikilink - but, they are not. I could edit that article and add them but, I'm not certain that that is the right approach.

Any other suggestions? Thanks again Sphilbrick!

Isolde2000 (talk) 23:35, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

How weird. When I saw the UC Irvine connection to DREAM, I assumed it had to be the same.

As for other possibilities, adding the Macelwane award winners is perfectly appropriate. I was going to suggest it to you, but I wanted to see the list first. I couldn't open the link at the time, but now I see that the link is flawed. Here's a better link: macelwane

If you'd be willing to fix the link and add the names, that would give a good opportunity for a wikilink. Try it yourself, if you have questions please ask. Oh, FYI, protocol is to add new messages on a talk page to the bottom. I can find them, but it is easier if you just add a new section.--SPhilbrickT 01:45, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Certainly! Looks like the link has already been fixed. :) I went ahead and added in the list of award winners to the James B. Macelwane Medal article. I added in some wikilinks for some of the other winners as well. I also added two additional categories to the page that the award falls under.

Thanks again! Isolde2000 (talk) 01:29, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, nice work. I removed the orphan tag now that this is linked in. Nice to see that several other award winners are in blue, helps establish that this is a significant award.--SPhilbrickT 13:45, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
