Sigwells

Hi, Thanks for the message. I wasn't quite sure what you were referring to until I saw the messages above. I haven't used the articles for creation process (it didn't exist when I started on wikipedia) so I've only just found out what you meant by "Alpha Quadrant". There is no requirement to use this process and I think it is just to try to help new editors. I would suggest copying the work you have done so far to you own sandbox eg User:Sigwells/Sandbox/Sigwells and then you can work on it until you are ready to put it into "article space" - I would be happy to work with you on it to ensure that once it goes live it doesn't get deleted.

The reviews say it "doesn't provide specific context" I would suggest this could be overcome by giving a little more about the geography of the area and also a paragraph about Bronze and Iron Age settlements - the standard background paragraph used on Cadbury Castle, Somerset and lots of others could be added.

A few specifics:

The title Sigwells should be bold in the first sentence.
The external link to SCEP should be turned into a reference as external links shouldn't be in the prose section
Bronze Age, Iron Age etc should be wikilinked on their first occurance
Pitt Rivers should link to Augustus Pitt Rivers
There are a few "peacock phrases" eg "most important", "outstanding" which need to be toned down or it needs to be made clear who thought it was "most important" etc
There is a mechanism to handle the reuse of a reference (eg Tabor) without it having to appear in the list lots of times (see Wikipedia:Citation templates#Using the same footnote multiple times or I can help.

I hope these are helpful and I'm happy to work with you through wikipedia's sometimes complex processes.— Rod ^talk 09:01, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

? DYK for Sigwells

Hi again, You will have spotted your article has now been accepted by the AfC process and moved into "article space". I have moved it to Sigwells as there is no need for "Somerset, England" in the title as we don't have any other articles with Sigwells in the title & people are more likely to search for the single name rather than included the county etc.

Along with some other editors I have done some cleanup and added references etc. You might want to consider submitting the article at Template talk:Did you know with a short "hook". If accepted it would then appear on the front page of wikipedia for a few hours and help others to find it.— Rod ^talk 09:56, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
