Oxford bits and pieces

Allow me to add a further welcome to Wikipedia. I've spotted your activity on a few Oxford-related pages, so thought I'd stop by. In particular, I was the initial author of both Jesus Professor of Celtic and Marshal Foch Professor of French Literature, so I'm delighted to see that you've started an article on the faculty as a whole. (Disclaimer: I read Jurisprudence so know nothing about the FMML!) I'll take a look and see what I can do to help with it. Any questions / problems, do let me know. Regards, Bencherlite ^Talk 13:31, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for feedback

Thanks again, Wackywace, and thank you Bencherlite. Wikipedia editors are so far proving a much more helpful species than I had feared!

No problem. You'll see that I've had a go at the FMML article, with various minor details improved. There are various boring style guidelines in the Manual of Style here, most of which you'll never remember even if you read them, but some of them stick in my head such as not having "The" at the start of sub-headings, having a short summary of the article as a lead section and avoiding external links in the prose (collecting them at the end instead). If you don't understand why I made a particular change, please ask! Bencherlite ^Talk 14:17, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bencherlite, I do (only now you remind me!) remember reading that bit about no 'The' at the start of subheadings, and introductory summaries. Thanks for adding them. I hope you don't mind me removing the separate subheading for members of the French sub-faculty. I did originally have it as a subsection, but there are horrendously complicated political reasons for playing down its importance. In fact, the whole project is proving to be an exercise in diplomacy and I think I should probably just edit articles on dead poets instead. Thank you once again for your courtesy.

J.Lepeltier (talk) 14:51, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not at all. Thank you for alerting me to the existence of Jean-Yves Tadié, a name I've now added to the list of Marshal Foch professors (thought there was a large gap between Shackleton and Bowie but couldn't find the missing name!) Do you know anything about those professors, particularly Jacques Scherer or Michael Sheringham, that could be used to make the list of professors more interesting and / or get small articles about Scherer and Sheringham underway? Bencherlite ^Talk 15:03, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There was an article on Michael Sheringham but it appears to have been deleted. A shame, as he has just been made FBA.

J.Lepeltier (talk) 15:06, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well spotted. I've undeleted the article (it really ought not to have been deleted in the first place), and added some more bumpf to it. Bencherlite ^Talk 15:29, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Chiswick Chap (talk) 17:57, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've added a few external references, Chiswick Chap. I hope that helps. I was rather hoping Francofil would qualify for notability as a 'non-commercial organisation' because of its international scope and relative longevity (in the academic humanities having an electronic forum in the 1990s was amazingly forward-looking). I'm also not sure about the format of these talk pages, so I hope I get this right! J.Lepeltier (talk) 15:23, 19 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Society of Dix-Neuviémistes (SDN) (April 18)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Mottezen was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Fails WP:NCORP with no RS coverage. However, their academic journal Dix-Neuf likely passes WP:NJOURNALS, and an article could be written about it.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Society of Dix-Neuviémistes (SDN) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Society of Dix-Neuviémistes (SDN), click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
