Avalon Family Entertainment

Hello, I am currently improving the Avalon Family Entertainment article on Wiki. I noticed your nick attached to the most recent warning for speedy deletion. This is new to me and I am reviewing all of the links in accordance with Wikipedia guidelines. This is an extensively linear process and some of the explanations are codified and confusing. Please bear with me.

Dear UKExpat, thanks for the advice re the Jackie Bethards and Jack Mann basketball articles. I have placed them in separate user pages as suggested. Hope the holidays have treated you well!Keith Ellis (talk) 02:18, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

too hard...

It's just too hard to create something here @ Wikipedia. I mean, it must not be possible to publish rubbish, but it should be easy to upload "a proposal" with text, pics, links etc. I just love wiki, and it is just a fantastic source of knowledge that I use every day, but to contribute...no way a normal person has time for all these protocol stuff! Thanks' for your good work, anyway! Niklaslehmann (talk) 23:17, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

That's what a user sandbox is for -- create a page at User:Niklaslehmann/Sandbox where you can practice, create a draft etc at your own pace. – ukexpat (talk) 23:27, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

Or -- Niklaslehmann might try writing his articles on the User page, as UKexpat has helped me to do, for easier publishing as wiki-pieces. BTW, UKexpat -- did I do the Keith Ellis/Jackie Bethards and Keith Ellis/Jack Mann Userpages correctly as articles? Thanks!Keith Ellis (talk) 03:57, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

GeeksPhone - notability?

As for the notability of the article: my original motivation was that the GeeksPhone One was listed in List of Android devices, so I created articles on the device and the company which produces it. (A red link on Wikipedia I take as a sign of notability.) Furthermore (just checked): a Google search for GeeksPhone presently returns about 297,000 results, hence I would say there is a fair amount of coverage. If you nonetheless need more evidence of notability, please let me know and I will try to get it.

For the record: I changed my user account recently from Neomilanese to Michael-stanton as a result of getting a unified account - I signed up on Commons using the second name and before I realized it, I had inadvertently used the same account for Wikipedia edits. Bottom line: edits from either account are mine - no masquerading intended.--Michael-stanton (talk) 00:50, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

The sources you have cited so far - the company's web site, blogs and web forums - are, generally speaking, not reliable enough to demonstrate notability. You need references from media reports, magazines, newspapers etc. Hope this helps. – ukexpat (talk) 03:02, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

Bethards and Mann again

Dear UKexpat, Is there something else I need to do aside from having made the User Keith Ellis/Jack Mann and User Keith Ellis/Jackie Bethards user pages to proceed to turn these seminal bkb figures into Wiki-articles? Thanks so much for your help.Keith Ellis (talk) 14:38, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

I am really busy in real life at the moment, so it will take me a few days to finish looking at these. So all I can suggest is that you be patient with me please! – ukexpat (talk) 14:44, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

Fully comprehended, UK. You do a great job. I won't bug you again for a week at the least! Best regards,Keith Ellis (talk) 15:10, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

Draft in userspace

(User:Jackross/William France Jnr (Cabinetmaker & Upholsterer) - so I know where to find it again.)

Although I've created an article before, I've never moved one into the live wikipedia environment. I now have another new entry for 'William France Jnr (Upholsterer & Cabinetmaker') in my user page and would like to move it into 'live' Wikipedia. As I don't want to make any mistakes can someone help me to do it. Do I just move it using the menu at the top of my user page, having amended the title to exclude the 'User Jackross' bit? Or is there something else I have to do? Jackross (talk) 16:48, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

I will take a look at it for you (it needs a little work before it is moved), then we can figure out what its title should be when moved, probably William France, Jr (cabinetmaker) - disambiguations should be as simple as possible. I also moved William France Snr (Upholsterer & Cabinetmaker) to William France, Sr (cabinetmaker) for the same reason. (I will also take a look at the formatting etc of that one). As I mentioned above in reply to User:Keith Ellis, I am pretty busy at the moment, so it will take me a few days. Please bear with me. – ukexpat (talk) 17:02, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for your help UKexpat. The only thing I would say about that is that William France Snr was in fact known for being both an Upholsterer and a cabinetmaker of some reknown. As far as William France Jnr is concerned cabinetmaker is probably more correct. I'll keep an eye out for your reply Jackross (talk) 17:16, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

I understand that from a factual point of view, but for the purposes of dismabiguation, we need to keep titles as brief as possible. – ukexpat (talk) 17:49, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

Your reply on the help desk

Hello UKexpat and thanks for rolling out the welcome mat! I just posted the following question in the general help desk: I would like to see an article of a very notable topic in Wikipedia that is not yet present in Wikipedia. But the topic is about a project I was very involved with. Since I know the most about it and have all the reference material, photos, etc. it makes sense for me to write it...but that seems counter to Wiki suggestions of it being posted by an editor who is non-bias. Would it be OK to write the article myself and post it? Is it possible to collaborate with a Wikipedia editor? How would I find an interested collaborator? Suggestions on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated. Seems you may be just the right person to discuss this with... thanks for any feedback you could provide, Respectfully, Markalansmith (talk) 16:58, 7 January 2011 (UTC) PS how do I follow these chats to keep current of the responses?

I answered at the Help Desk. We can continue the discussion here if you like, just add my talk page to your watchlist so you can keep an eye on my replies. – ukexpat (talk) 17:05, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

thanks for all you help! I've added more material about Kanguera, using some of the refs/bibliography you found, and some additional ones I found. If you have the time, take a look at the current article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Jeff_Song/Kanguera) and let me know what you think. Is it ready to be moved to mainspace now?

Wiki would face no liability whatsoever for using that cut-and-pasted content from the University's site. It's paradigmatic fair use--I've used only as much as is necessary to convey the information sought to be conveyed, for a non-commercial purpose (news reportage). Believe me, mate--I'm a copyright lawyer. I don't do this to bust your chops, but simply to try to get Professor Simpson a fitting Wiki entry--he deserves it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.30.2.66 (talk) 19:23, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Aberfan

My father was one of those miners who rushed to Aberfan from DN (Deep Navigation Colliery) in the back of an open National Coal Board with his shovel in his hand, and there was nothing he could do when he got there. He didn't tell me about it until I was a teenager (I was 6 when it happened and just remember my Dad coming home covered in slurry and crying and my eyes were stinging because I wasn't used to being awake at 3am).

Leighton.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Leighton (talk • contribs) 22:45, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the message. I too remember Aberfan vividly - I was 6 at the time and remember it being all over the news. Thanks for your contributions to the articles, but I must caution you that personal recollections are not reliable sources for Wikipedia purposes, so please provide additional references to such sources if you have them. Thanks. – ukexpat (talk) 22:50, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

USATF Masters Hall of Fame

Thanks for the formatting help on the article. This is now at a much more complex level of formatting than I understand. I have two things I would like to do further with the article, perhaps you could guide me. 1) as stated before, I would like to turn this into 2 or 3 columns wide. I think that would help with the long vertical length of the article. 2) I want to add external links to the individuals. There are so many of these individuals who do not already have wikipedia articles about them. Writing one for each is a lot of work. But I am finding external articles that sum up a lot of the story about who these people are. How do I link them in this format? Lets start with this article for Burt DeGroot. Or this one for Christel Donley. Please show me the formatting trick to add these external links to the names in this format of list. Trackinfo (talk) 02:29, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Glad I could help out - the table was crying out to be sortable so I dived in. I have added the two references that you mentioned using the {{Cite web}} template and named refs using the list-defined references format (see Template:Reflist#List-defined references). It looks complicated but isn't really once you get the hang of it. Hope this helps. – ukexpat (talk) 03:47, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
What you did makes sense, but is there a way to turn this into a blue external link (the ones that use a single [ rather than double) rather than the small number nobody looks at? Trackinfo (talk) 20:11, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
In-line external links are frowned upon, see WP:EL. These are references so should be formatted accordingly, as I have done. – ukexpat (talk) 20:14, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

GOCE drive news

Guild of Copy Editors January 2011 backlog elimination drive

Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors January 2011 Backlog elimination drive! The drive is halfway over, so here are some mid-drive stats.

Participation
GOCE January 2011 backlog elimination drive progress graphs

So far, 43 people have signed up for this drive. Of these, 25 have participated. If you signed up for the drive but haven't participated yet, it's not too late! Try to copy edit at least a few articles. Remember, if you have rollover words from the last drive, you will lose them if you do not participate in this drive. If you haven't signed up for the drive yet, you can sign up now.

Progress report

We have eliminated two months from the backlog – January and February 2009. One of our goals is to eliminate as many months as possible from the 2009 backlog. Please help us reduce the size of this part of the backlog if you haven't already. Another goal is to reduce the entire backlog by 10%, or by 515 articles. Currently, we have eliminated 375 articles from the queue, so if each participant copy edits four more articles, we will reach that goal.

Thank you for participating in the January 2011 drive. We anticipate it will be another big success!

Revisions to Philip N. Diehl

Yes, I realize that. I believe my changes result in a cleaner, more logical lay out of the references. For one thing they're now numbered sequentially throughout the text. Have you looked at it since I finished the revisions a few minutes ago?

Thanks.

Revisions to Diehl article

I have no objection to you breaking the multiple citations into separate references. My objection is to the abcdefgh business in the CIO reference (6) (it looks ridiculous) and the consequent scattering of the (6) reference, out of sequence, throughout the article. Please provide a source that suggests this is a legitimate way to cite sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rittenhoused (talk • contribs) 00:13, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Hello, I appreciate if you will no longer delete Incoterms 2010 wall chart. Current wikipedia article is outdated and new schema can only be found on that external web site.

I deleted it from the See also section as that is for links to other Wikipedia articles not for external links. I have moved your link to the External links section. You need to explain carefully when linking to your own external site/work as other editors might think you are linkspamming. When you do your rewrite, please make sure that you include a detailed edit summary or, even better, explain your rewrite on the article's talk page.

GOCE January Backlog elimination drive conclusion

Guild of Copy Editors January 2011 Backlog elimination drive

Greetings from the January 2011 Backlog elimination drive! We have reached the end of the month and the end of another successful drive; thanks to all who participated.

Statistics
  • 54 people signed up for the year's first Backlog elimination drive. Of these, 40 participated.
  • One of our goals was to reduce the size of the backlog by at least 10%. We managed to reduce the backlog by 633 articles, or about 12%.
  • Another goal was to eliminate as many 2009 months as possible from the queue. We eliminated January, February, March, and April—4 out of 12 months is not bad! In addition, we eliminated 37% of all remaining 2009 articles from the queue.
  • Chaosdruid copy edited Kutch Gurjar Kashtriya for 32,711 words, which is the largest single article completed in one of our drives so far. This article counts as six 5000-K articles, and Chaosdruid wins the "most 5000-K articles" leaderboard category. Way to go! A complete list of individual results is here.
Barnstars

If you copy edited at least 4,000 words, you qualify for a barnstar. If you participated in the November 2010 Backlog elimination drive, you may have earned roll-over words (more details can be found here). These roll-over words count as credit towards earning barnstars, except for leaderboard awards. We will be delivering the barnstars within the next couple of weeks.

Thank you for participating in this year's first Backlog elimination drive! We hope to see you in March.

Tcla75

Since you have recently been on List of serial killers by country, could you possibly take some action against editor Tcla75? This editor has commited any number of violations of Wikipedia policy over the last week. Firstly this editor accused me of vandalism for a good faith edit. When I requested an apologythis editor reiterated the accusation of vandalism when I was simply upholding the consensus. I know we should not read too much into past behaviour, but this editor vandalised Wikipedia as recently as 8 June 2010. I have never vandalised Wikipedia, and it is very difficult to keep cool when subjected to such an uncivil personal attack. Therefore I will not engage in any further discussion with them. In any event, you explained things on the talkpage. Nevertheless this editor has engaged as an edit warrior against several other editors who have formed a consensus. I believe there is also a neutrality issue at stake here given the wording of the entry. Your help would be appreciated. Pistachio disguisey (talk) 14:37, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

I am not an admin so I am afraid that I cannot take any action. I have attempted to engage them in discussion on the talk page but to no avail. WP:EAR or even WP:ANI is probably the next option. – ukexpat (talk) 14:44, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

West Point sword

I do not understand who controls the article, I wrote it edited and reedited Put photo's up. and reedited it again. While other folks had made corrections to it 98% of the words on the page are mine.

So when someone changes it and I correct it to what I know is true, it gets deleted. Yes I would like to have my changes reinstalled, because there correct in fact, not because I have an ego. I just want the data corrected.

I might add that I have had the folks at West Point and the Springfield Armory looking it over since I started this article, and the have been very helpful to me in correcting ant errors.

Please tell me what I have do or what is the problem with my changes or why the facts are being removed when then are true..........

Thanks

Andy2159 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andy2159 (talk • contribs) 12:54, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Andy, no one owns or controls an article. A basic tenet of Wikipedia is that anyone can edit it. When you create a new article or edit an existing article, there is text below the edit window that says: If you do not want your writing to be edited, used, and redistributed at will, then do not submit it here.
Now, all edits must comply with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines and can be reverted if they do not, so to that extent there is some control over content, but no one can dictate the contents of an article that is otherwise in compliance with policies and guidelines - we work by consensus. Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any more questions. – ukexpat (talk) 14:40, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

I have made changes I put up references.

I can quote Todd and Peterson, I've had help from the Springfield Amory and the Amory at West Point

I also talked to the cadet store and they said that the word saber is perfered by cadets but sword is also asked for. Even if it is a sword. 2 weeks ago the academy had a meeting with the WD4 and is going to change the design and call it a cadet saber this change will happen before the last saber is issued this or next year. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andy2159 (contribs) 15:15, 9 February 2011 (UTC) --Andy2159 (talk) 15:23, 9 February 2011 (UTC) Please do you know the difference between a sword and a saber there is on? Andy2159 --Andy2159 (talk) 15:23, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

All interesting stuff but you should not add any of it to the article unless you can support it by citing reliable sources. Discussions with the Armories and the cadet store are not reliable as they cannot be verified.

With all due regards

The previous move was not discussed[2]-I returned the page to original version before the undiscussed move and asked the mover to discuss the move first. I would kindly ask you to restore to original version. I am all for discussion but you got the situation wrong.--MyMoloboaccount (talk) 01:57, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Please take this to the talk page via a requested move proposal. – ukexpat (talk) 02:00, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
Wait, it should be the user who made the undiscussed move that should move the page via WP:RM, I am actually restoring it to orignal version before its change without discussion. Again you are getting this completely wrong, don't you understand? Why should I take restoration to original name of the article to WP:RM while the other user moved the name to different one without any WP:RM at all and his revert is restored? I think you got confused here. --MyMoloboaccount (talk) 02:03, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
That move was in March 2010 - after stability at that title since then, a talk page discussion is the way to proceed, IMHO. – ukexpat (talk) 02:14, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
I only noticed the change today. There is no rule that errors and controversial moves become legit because they weren't spotted right away. If the author of the undiscussed move wants to discuss changing it, I am all for it. As it was not discussed I will change it back to original form-there is simply no reason that returning to original stable for 7 years version must be discussed while a controversial move made without discussion less than a year ago will stay because it wasn't discovered right away.--MyMoloboaccount (talk) 02:18, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

confused!!

Again - I still do not understand why the article for William Jesse Ramey is flagged for Deletion.

"article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia"

I show that he has been in several museum exhibits - been written about in several books and mentioned in several articles. I even included direct quotes to show that he was influential to even the most famous of all decoy carvers and helped invent a specific style of fish decoys. I'm trying to track down a couple of other leads because I have other Fish Decoy experts who believe he has pieces in the Smithsonian and the Folk Art museum (but I don't have proof). I don't know what else is desired to show that he is significant to the art form. ( The amount of info is significantly more than any other "Folk Artist" I have seen on Wikipedia!!!)

Please tell me what more you think needs to be stated.

As far as the Oscar W Peterson article - I did write it first as a userpage. I did use references (there are 4 of them), but I also used quotes(3 of them) to reinforce the statements made in the article. I thought this was the proper way to show that the material actually came from secondary sources since much of the info deals with "subjective" information - such as his importance and the abstractness of his carvings - - rather than expressing my personal opinion.

If you would rather I remove the quotes, I can, but it would mean that I would simply be paraphrasing what has already been written. (And frankly in some cases they wrote it better than I think I could!!)

I don't mean to sound difficult - but I guess I'm getting frustrated because I simply do not understand what you are looking for.

Birdfarmer (talk) 23:49, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

William Jesse Ramey is not flagged for deletion, I removed the original deletion template and tagged it with a notability template because I think it needs more references to establish notability per the guidelines at WP:BIO. If you turn some of the direct quotations into citations, that should do it. On that issue, one short quotation in an article of this length is probably OK, the others should be citations.
Sorry for my misunderstanding as to how you created Oscar W. Peterson. Again, turn the direct quotations into citations and there should be no problems. Hope this helps. – ukexpat (talk) 03:41, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

editing citations

re: User:RoslynSKP/1st Transjordan attack on Amman I've had a go at editing the citations in the lead section of this article and got in a right mess - fortunately only in 'preview'. The first citation's cite book source, was added with the page number into the text and a couple more in the lead section were also done this way. But in preview the rest of the citations disappeared and some text moved into the citation area along with the bibliography. After suitably celebrating my use of the 'Show preview' button I decided to try to emulate the Chaco Culture National Historical Park citation style using [1] This was ok so long as I didn't try [2] Name & year</ref>. So far there is one harvnb template citation and the source in the bibliography has had the citation template added but although it looks like a link it doesn't function.

Could you possibly give me a very simple guide (for idiots) how to go about improving the citations in this article? --Rskp (talk) 05:41, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Added template for SuggestBot

Hi,

Thanks for being one of SuggestBot's users! I hope you have found the bot's suggestions useful.

We are in the process of switching from our previous list-based signup process to using templates and userboxes, and I have therefore added the appropriate template to your user talk page. You should receive the first set of suggestions within a day, and since we'll be automating SuggestBot you will from then on continue to receive them regularly at the desired frequency.

We now also have a userbox that you can use to let others know you're using SuggestBot, and if you don't want to clutter your user talk page the bot can post to a sub-page in your userspace. More information about the userbox and usage of the template is available on User:SuggestBot/Getting Recommendations Regularly.

If there are any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me on my user talk page. Thanks again, Nettrom (talk) 19:14, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Raymond Davis Page

The Youtube reference you deleted (with such speed that you obviously did so without looking at it) is a Pakitani Television newscast that shows pictures, released by the Punjab police, of pictures that Davis had in his camera, including some pictures of the men he shot. One of those picture shows a one of the dead (or wounded) motorcyclists still holding a pistol in HIS HAND. Hudicourt (talk) 20:19, 11 February 2011 (UTC))

That may be so, but the question is what is the point of adding the link? It is a primary source but how do we know that it has not been edited in such a way as to be positive or negative? This is a BLP issue so we have to be extra careful. I suggest that you take a look at WP:EL and then open a discussion on the talk page. Even if there is consensus to add the link, it should be in the EL section, not in the body of the article. – ukexpat (talk) 20:25, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Question on Original Research / Primary Sources

Got a question around Original Research / Primary sources. I'm working on a page for another fish decoy carver. I've found some information on websites (such as the Smithsonian- American Art Museum, etc...). I assume that this is considered a Secondary source (since the site is not dedicated to the particular carver) - but I'd also like to use some Bio info that I got from Ancestry.com (his death certificate is listed there). Does this fall into a primary Source or Original Research ?? Since the Death Certificate is readily available to any researcher (who has access to Ancestry) - - - I just don't know.

create page links to other wikipedia pages

hi ukexpat, hope you are well and i hope you can help this non-techie person to successfully complete a wikipedia page launch. in my organization's page (the collge club of boston), a number of notable people are mentioned as having been visiors to the club. all have wikipedia pages. how do i create links to those wikipedia pages? many thanks, kim — Preceding unsigned comment added by Htothtide (talk • contribs) 14:21, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

To link to other Wikipedia articles, enclose the title in double square brackets, so [[Barack Obama]] renders as Barack Obama. However, before you do that, please take a look at my comment on the article's talk page - the most pressing problem with the article is notability. At the moment the article does not cite any references to reliable sources to demonstrate that the Club meets Wikipedia's notability requirements. You should also take a look at the guideliness on editing with a conflict of interest. Also note that this is not a "page launch" (which smacks of a PR campaign) nor is it your "organization's page", it is an article about the organization in an encyclopedia and it can and will be edited by others, so be prepared for that. Hope this helps. – ukexpat (talk) 14:32, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

bringing page up to code

hi ukexpat, thanks much for your info. the links have been incorporated. the college club of boston is a venerable boston institution, with deep roots in the back bay neighborhood. the club was founded there in 1890 and is still based there. we have at least one link to what i think wikipedia would consider a reputable source, the boston globe. much of the information used in the page was culled from the college club of boston archives, which are housed at the schlesinger llibrary of harvard university. i will take another look at the page and reconsider what may sound too much like marketing. do you have any other suggestions? thank you, kim--Htothtide (talk) 16:28, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

All that may well be correct, but you must cite substantial coverage in multiple third party sources to demonstrate notability as Wikipedia uses that term and so that claims of notability can be verified. The Club's own archives would not be considered a reliable source to demonstrate notability. Hope this helps. – ukexpat (talk) 16:39, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
ukexpat, the "facilities" section of the page for the college club of boston has been removed and with it text that might be interpreted as marketing. i will go to work and find third party references, including what's appeared in the boston globe and other boston-area magazines. BTW, how did the reference to boston college get added to the page? the two organizations are not connected--although there are boston college grads who are also college club of boston members. thank you, kim--Htothtide (talk) 18:44, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
I don't see a reference to Boston College on the page. If you mean the navigation box at the bottom of the page, that is contained in a template {{Boston College}}. I am not sure it is appropriate so I have removed it. When you are ready to add references, please read WP:Referencing for beginners first. – ukexpat (talk) 19:06, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

image upload

hello ukexpat, again, thank you for the advice. as i hunt down a few acceptable references that will establish the notability of the college club of boston, i have attempted to upload an image, a photo of the club house. the photo was not purloined from the internet. do you need to know the photographer? thanks, kim--Htothtide (talk) 21:56, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Unless the image is now in the public domain because of its age, we will need to now as much about it as possible. The easiest way to deal with images is for the photographer or copyright owner (not necessarily the same) to follow the processs set out at WP:IOWN to release it under a license acceptable to Wikipedia. – ukexpat (talk) 22:20, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

image ownership

i've just verified through the club manager that the image is considered to be in the public domain. the photo is not for sale, nor will it ever be. it was taken by a college club of boston staff member and it appears on the club website in an unattributed photo. must i have the manager clarify status via email to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org? thanks, kim--Htothtide (talk) 23:49, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Yes, that is the best way to handle it to avoid future problems. Then upload the image to Commons so that it is available to all Wikimedia projects, and tag it with an {{OTRS pending}} template. – ukexpat (talk) 03:13, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

notability reference

hello ukexpat, i've just added a reference that should sufficiently document the notability of the college club of boston. on 20 may, 2002, the city of boston officially certified that the club was the oldest(i.e., the first)women's college club in the US. i hope that will resolve the--Htothtide (talk) 15:34, 16 February 2011 (UTC) issue? thanks, kim

Well one reference isn't really enough. Notability requires significant coverage in multiple reliable sources, so if you can find one or two more, that would put it beyond doubt. Thanks.--ukexpat (talk) 15:36, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

ILEX

Hi,

I see that you have made some changes to the Institute of Legal Executives (ILEX) page. I appreciate your interest, we both share the same desire for articles on Wikipedia to remain neutral.

That being said, I do want to ensure that the ILEX page is full of balanced and information about the organisation. I really can't reiterate enough how much I want to ensure that the ILEX page remains neutral. I want Wikipedia to contain information about ILEX but not be used as a selling tool.

Do you have any hints/tips/advice that might help me do this? Of course I could just add all the info I have about ILEX (all of which is 100 % accurate) but I need to ensure that I follow Wikipedia's methods to remein neutral. As I am new to wikipedia - any help would be gratefully received.

Regards,

Hutchfish (talk) 15:40, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

Just make sure that anything you add is supported by reliable sources ie a source other than ILEX's own website and, if you have a conflict of interest, please do not edit the article directly, but use the talk page to suggest edits to the article.--ukexpat (talk) 15:45, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for a speedy reply and yes I shall do that, although it may be tricky in minor cases. I am sure you will appreciate Institutes are quite often custodians of their own information. Do the notices at the top of the page (about neutrality etc get removed automatically or do I have to do something about that myself?)Hutchfish (talk) 16:11, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
Notability as used on Wikikpedia (see WP:ORG) is evidenced by third party coverage, newspapers, journal articles etc, that are beyond the control of the organisation. So I would focus on those sources to start with.--ukexpat (talk) 16:31, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
Thanks. I have a whole load of external and independent articles that can be used as citations so will do a bit at a time. If you notice anything that you think needs to be amended please let me know and I will change it. Do you know when the neutrality and cleanup banners are removed? They have been there since 2008. Thank you so much for your guidance. Hutchfish (talk) 16:52, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
The maintenance templates will not be removed automatically, it has to be done manually. You can do that yourself when you think that the issues have been dealt with but please note in the edit summary, or, preferably, on the article's talk page, why you have done so.--ukexpat (talk) 16:54, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

hi ukexpat, a reply has come back from permissions common, with a request to provide the link for an uploaded image. there is confirmation that an image upload has occured (twice, in fact), but perhaps wikipedia has blocked its appearance until the copyright issue has been resolved? i recommended that the club manager attach the image to the reply email. was that the an acceptable response? if not, please advise. your guidance is much appreciated, BTW. kim--Htothtide (talk) 19:35, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

hi ukexpat, thanks for giving me the image link. we now have permission to upload to commons, but i'm having trouble. figuring out derivative file was easy, but i'm flummoxed on destination file for my image uplad. apparently, it is not the link for the club wikipedia page, so my question is, what is the destination file? thanks much, kim--Htothtide (talk) 13:32, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

The image is on Commons at commons:File:CC-front.jpg. I see you figured out how to add it to the article, well done, it can be tricky. Let me know if you need any more help. – ukexpat (talk) 14:38, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

ukexpat, you've been a tremendous help! i don't know how i managed to successfully upload the photo. i thought the destination of the file would be the link to the page, but the system reported that the file didn't exist. was that the correct answer? i have also unearthed another reference, from the christian science monitor of october 1940. i have the photocopy and i've asked the club manager to make a pdf. how do i link a reference to a pdf file, so that interested parties can read? thanks a bunch, kim--Htothtide (talk) 18:34, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

No problem, that's how Wikipedia works! Not sure what happened with the image, but all seems to be OK now. It's not really necessary, or desirable, to upload a pdf as a reference. There is no requirement that a reference be available online. I would just use the {{Cite news}} template and complete as many of the parameters as you can for the CSM article so that someone could, if they wanted to, go to a library and verify the reference. – ukexpat (talk) 18:50, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

two references added

hi ukexpat, sorry, i thought the option of reference click and read was preferable. i've just added documentation from a 1906 article and a 1940 article and i think they will satisfy the notability requirement? if so, can the warning box be removed from the page? hope so and thank you again! kim --Htothtide (talk) 20:21, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Yup, I removed the maintenance template and also fixed your refereces to use {{Cite news}}. – ukexpat (talk) 20:36, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Hello!

I just read your message and Im thankful for that..Actually, I just wanted to create an article but i dont know exactly the procedures.I Have read the steps but still I am confused so i tried to experiment..I just did copy paste, just to see how it will be..

As for the references i don't know how is the procedure for this.

If possible can you give me easy ways/steps to understand Wikipedia more?

This is my first time and im only into experimentation until i will understand wikipedia.

Thanks and godbless

I am not sure that I can add to the links that I and others have posted on your talk page. In particular, please read WP:SPAM, WP:CORP and WP:COI. – ukexpat (talk) 15:02, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
