You found many articles!

[edit]

Sahara6sb, You're finding many articles about your journalist from both world press freedom organizations and Mexican news outlets! You've made a good start. Don't let the wikicode intimidate you. I suggest you take a glance at a cheatsheet for learning code. Besides that you're off to a great start! Crtew (talk) 02:41, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

USI Into to Mass Comm

[edit]

Hi. Greetings from snowy York, and thanks for making contact. I've had a look at your User page and Talk page and would like to make a couple of comments:

  • User page: really, this page should just contain whatever you yourself want to say (if anything) about yourself and your interests to other Wikipedians. It's very unusual for other people (even your professors) to put anything on your own page - the correct place for Dr. Tew's useful-looking "Adopt a journalist" list ought to be your Talk page. I'll drop him a note.
    • Talk page: the Journalist section, all in blue, has a rather confusing set of links. You could organise them better by putting each on a separate line, preceded by asterisk(s) which turn(s) into bullet-point(s) such as I'm using here, thus:

and you could add a title after each so you know which link is about what, e.g.

Hope this isn't too confusing! Click the Edit tab at the top to see what I've been doing - you can abort without actually editing, of course. Get back to me if any of the above doesn't make sense. Best. --GuillaumeTell 01:26, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A kitten for you!

[edit]

Thank you for being the first to welcome Mr Tell to our course project. That was very friendly and a good Wikipedian thing to do. You deserve a kitten!

[edit]

Can you run your reflinks tool for me? I would love to see all your references filled out. Other students have been amazed with what the Reflinks tool can actually do, even though it makes some mistakes. Oh well, nobody is perfect. Have fun!Crtew (talk) 06:32, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Father & Son

[edit]

Sahara6sb,

It makes more sense for you to do the father and the son in one article and focus on the father as the primary person. Crtew (talk) 05:03, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Article

[edit]

I have your User and Talk pages on my watchlist, so I see that you've made some progress. Your User page continues to look rather confused and I'd advise moving the whole Article section to a sandbox. All you need to do is to click the "edit" link alongside Article, then highlight everything that appears there by running the cursor over the whole article until it all turns blue, then doing a CTRL-X to cut all of the text, then clicking the "My sandbox" link at the top of the page, then, below where it says <!-- EDIT BELOW THIS LINE -->, pasting the text that you cut. Then click the Save Page button below if it all looks OK. (It's easy enough to get anything back if you make a mistake ...)

The other things that you then need to do are:

  • Click the Edit tab at the top
  • Put the headings "Careers" and "Murder" on their own lines (but not in bold) with the rest of the text undereath, like so - each of the headings should have two "equals signs" (==) before and after:

Careers

[edit]

blah blah blah

Murders

[edit]

more blah

  • get rid of your signature
  • add another heading, "References", formatted like the ones above, at the bottom of your list of references, and underneath it put in the following: {{Reflist}} (just put in the Reflist bit with the curly brackets, not the nowiki stuff which is concealed in the text. Then press the Show preview button below to see what the whole thing looks like. With any luck the refs that are in your text should be numbered with the same ref numbers that appear in the text, and .
  • I'm assuming that you want to include all 18 refs. When you put the others into your text, they'll also appear in the reflist. If you aren't intending to use them, just delete them. If you make changes, always press the Show preview button to see if they look OK. Have a look at a short article such as Petar Stojanović (composer) which I was fiddling with earlier today and click the Edit tab at the top to see how it's all laid out. Note also the categories and the "stub" indicator at the bottom.

Let me know how you get on and feel free to ask questions. Best. --GuillaumeTell 21:40, 27 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

At the beginning of the semester, I didn't realize that the father and son were killed in the same incident. Somewhere around the end of Feb. when I read two versions of the same account, I had an "aha" moment. So what I did was to take yours and the other students work and fold them into one package. I used here account to make that revision. Please don't take this as a rejection of your work. You did an outstanding job searching for articles. You'll recognize your influence as you the final product. Even though it's through her account, it's still VERY MUCH your effort. My humble apologies for not catching that earlier. I can only offer the poor excuse that my eyes were not trained on the same Spanish last name, which is Lopez.

My note to the other student is VERY MUCH a note to you, too:

Good work, I did use some info from another student who was working on the son and some of my own info. You packed too much detail at the top about the murder for the significance. If you look at the copy now, you might think that I did the same thing, but what I was trying to do is to get the big picture. It was a complicated story that expanded out to other articles, like the one for Yolanda. This article was the inspiration for a new category in Wikipedia: "Victims of the Mexican Drug War." It's new. I created it and assigned some other journalists to the category. I also added a map for Veracruz and template for the Mexican Drug War to the article. Go ahead and submit! Click on the submit on the topmost banner. Good Luck, Crtew

Please see the article at User:Decurry/Miguel Ángel López Velasco.

Again my apologies if you're feelings are hurt, but I could only use one and it was an either/or choice. I stress: You were successful!!!!
