Greetings, good overall writing/copyediting and use of proper footnotes on your new article Gary N. Ross. Note though that you were lacking a few pieces that every article should have (categories, etc). Take a look at the changes I've made, and next time you write an article keep those in mind as items to make sure you include.

Thanks for your work! MatthewVanitas (talk) 18:15, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for the kind note Matthew! I needed to change the article title from "Gary N. Ross" to " Dr. Gary N. Ross"
any ideas? I've been going in circles....JG martinez
It's not letting you because I already moved it away from the "Dr..." title. Please note per WP:CREDENTIAL that titles like "Dr." do not belong in the ledes of articles, nor in the titles. Nothing against Ross himself, that's just the standard for all articles. Heck, if Martin Luther King doesn't get "Rev. Dr." in his title and lede, it's a pretty sure bet that academics don't get an exception. ;) MatthewVanitas (talk) 18:36, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Got it ! lol
No worries. Minor sidenote: you don't need to start a new section each time you reply on Talk, you can just continue below the previous comment (I've gone ahead and removed the duplicated headings on this page). When you reply to someone on a Talk page, just indent your comments one notch to the right of theirs. This is done my adding a ":" to the start of a paragraph. If I typed "::" before each para of mine, you type ":::" when you reply. If folks start getting too far right, you can just go back to the far left margin, or type {{deindent}} if you want it to look fancy. Also, don't forget to sign your post by typing ~~~~ at the end of each posting on a Talk page. That helps keep clear who said what and when.
Wiki has a lot of conventions that take some getting use to, but it runs relatively smoothly once you get used to it. If you know or can get into contact with Ross or his office, consider seeing if you can get them to release a photo you can upload to WikiMedia. If you take a photo of him yourself you can just upload it and choose the license yourself; if you get a photo and permission from them you have to send the owner of the photo a WP:OTRS request, basically an automated email from Wiki that allows them to confirm "yes, I told this guy he can post the photo on Wikipedia under XYZ release license".
Feel free to ping me with whatever questions. If you add a comment here and don't hear back from me in a bit, you can poke me by typing {{talkback}} at the bottom of my Talk page, which lets me know "hey, come to this guy's page and read his reply.
