This page is for questions about the Articles for creation process. Please consider asking this question at the Wikipedia:Reference desk. They specialize in knowledge questions and will try to answer any question in the universe (except how to use Wikipedia, since that is what the Help Desk is for). Just follow the link, select the relevant section, and ask away. You could always try searching Wikipedia for an article related to the topic you want to know more about. I hope this helps.

I'm really looking for help in unraveling the history of cold storage and Ernest Woodruft's involvement in the cold storage industry in Atlanta. I've listed as many of the involved companies as I'm aware of but any additional assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance! Americold (talk) 19:55, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not really sure that anyone will help unless it catches someone's interest. What I suggest you do is ask on the Teahouse Questions Forum, and also do your best to create a stub article, submit it for review, and act on the advice you receive. However, your username is against you. We have a policy against usernames that appear to be commercial. WP:CHU will help you.

Is "Americold' the right name for the article? Please think about that, too. Fiddle Faddle 21:39, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

This is my first wiki article. I think I followed the format from the tutorial correctly but I just wanted to make sure. I included the disclosure and as many references as I could initially get together. I would love to know if I left anything out or could do anything better before I start my next article.

Thank you, Samara Spagan (talk) 19:56, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You need to submit it for review. You can do this by placing {{subs:submit}} at the head. If you want to know what it does, use the preview button.

It will be pushed back to you for more work. That is fine and to be expected. It requires references that are not the gentleman;s work, which is only a valid reference in special circumstances. Let me try to explain. If s/he manufactured vacuum cleaners, the cleaners would be her/his work. A vacuum cleaner could not be a reference for her/him, simply because it is the product he makes. So it is with research. However, a review of her/his work by others tends to be a review of her/him and her/his methods, so is a reference, as is a peer reviewed paper a reference for her/his work. You may find WP:ACADEME of some use in seeing how Wikipedia and Academe differ hugely

The disclosure should be moved to the talk page. Please also deploy {{connected contributor}} on the talk page Thank you for the clear disclosure. Fiddle Faddle 21:33, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
