My Starbucks Rewards

[edit]

Article (or what few words of it there are) currently resides at User:gwickwire/My Starbucks Rewards. Any comments would be greatly appreciated, and feel free to just put comments on the article's talk page: User_talk:gwickwire/My Starbucks Rewards. Thanks! —Preceding undated comment added 02:59, 29 November 2011 (UTC).

You need at least one more independent reference to show notability. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:35, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, so with more references it would be ready to move to article space? gwickwire (talktome) (contribs!) 22:52, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
If they are good references, independent and reliable. Also more encyclopedic content would be better, when did this start, whose idea was it, has there been any schemes like this in the past? It could then be good enough to move to main space. Of course that will not stop some from wanting to delete it or merge with Starbucks. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 06:18, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sports Cards Group Breaks

[edit]

I would like to write a article about what Group Breaks are in the sports cards industry. The article will explain what they are, the different types and how they work.

It is a new system in the sports card collecting scene and is currently growing in popularity.

There will be no sources as I wrote this up because of it being new to the industry. I can add videos and possibly pictures to show examples.

Would this article be alright for Wikipedia or should I do it in Wiktionary?

This sounds like original research not appropriate if there are no reliable sources already. Wikibooks or Wikiversity may accept this sort of thing though. Are you sure it has not yet been covered in a magazine or somewhere else though? if you want to write something use User:Cloutsnchara/Sports cards group breaks.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately no write ups of what they are all about in hard copy form or online magazines. I can certainly try to do those two other Wiki sites. The only sources are from my site which I wrote up on what they are and how they work.--174.113.156.206 (talk) 21:16, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Schiedam train disaster

[edit]

I started a draft on an article about the Schiedam train disaster in the Netherlands in 1976, here: User:SpeakFree/Schiedam train disaster. I noticed another user had made a draft about it as well: User:GrahamHardy/Free Love#The aAccident. I used some of his edits and informed him but haven't received a reply yet. It's a bit short to my liking (and I've tired a bit of creating stubs) so if there are knowledgeable people willing to point me to new sources or even expand upon my draft they are welcome. BTW: I also created the Dutch WP article nl:Treinramp bij Schiedam. SpeakFree (talk)(contribs) 18:56, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In 1856: [1] and there are also many stories in newspapers [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10][11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] Graeme Bartlett (talk) 06:41, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Created the article nevertheless at Schiedam train disaster. Thanks for your input. SpeakFree (talk)(contribs) 01:21, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
