Hi there,

I'm excited that my page was accepted and is officially a Wikipedia page. It is listed as a C-grade page. I checked what that means, but I would love some feedback on how to improve it.

Thank you in advance :)

@Elemonier: The best thing you can do is add inline citations for everything in the article, and add anything else about Ellen Urbani's life that comes from reliable sources such as books and magazines. Wikipedia:Writing better articles can give you some ideas of how to improve prose, or you can have a look at a featured article such as Enid Blyton to get some inspiration of what is some of Wikipedia's best work. Please stick around and improve articles, we really do need more people helping out in the long term. We have many articles, including biographies of authors, that are sub-C class and could do with improvement. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 15:27, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I am wondering how to add photographs to the page and how to format them wiithin the page. VTflatlander (talk) 17:39, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@VTflatlander:Go to Commons:First steps and carefully step through the tutorial. When you get to "First steps/Uploading files", don't dive in too hastily. First follow the link on that page to learn about the different licensing options. Other useful advance reading includes Wikipedia:File names and Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Images, which will prepare you to answer important questions the upload wizard will ask you. If after that you have any questions or doubts, there is a dedicated help desk for image uploading.

Once you've uploaded an image, the picture tutorial can guide you through how to use it in an article. Worldbruce (talk) 01:03, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

- Draft:Robert Bloom (2) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

I want to confirm that I properly submitted the reworked links for the pupil list and the 2 new External Links. When I pasted them below the links did not accompany the copy/paste and I am thinking that same thing happened to the resubmission. What do I need to do to get these to you? I know that you would receive them if I forward an email to you that has the list/links. Is that a possibility?

This is not the place for you to post swathes of text for approval

Archiving the list of Robert Bloom's pupils is an important contribution to our culture; the list can be found only in this Wiki biography. (It is comparable to listing a composer's works with publisher.) The links give future researchers and writers the information needed to explore Bloom's legacy in depth. While some links are to a pupil's personal website, other links provide only a starting place for the researcher but are nonetheless valuable. Two doctoral dissertations have already been written on Robert Bloom's teaching legacy, earning the authors the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts.

@SLBloom: I've changed the format of the draft to what I believe you intended. You can edit it further if I've missed the mark. The draft will be reviewed in due course, but you should expect that further changes will be required to conform to Wikipedia policies and guidelines before the draft has any chance of approval.

- Draft:Lyles, Carlisle, Bissett, and Wolff (LBC&W) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

We would like to change the name of our page. How can we do that? We would like it to read "Lyles, Bissett, Carlisle, and Wolff (LBC&W)". We mixed up the order originally.

Thank you!

Doylecf (talk) 19:48, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Doylecf:

Done. In the future, you can change a draft's title by moving the page. Just click on the "More" link at the top right of a draft. wia (talk) 19:59, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Doylecf: The page title may not conform to Wikipedia policy and guidelines, so you may be changing it again sooner than you expected. Please review what the policy on article titles says about article title format. You may also find the Manual of Style's section on acronyms in page titles relevant. When you're sure of one that’s in line with these, Wikipedia:Moving a page will tell you all you ever wanted to know about how to change a title. Worldbruce (talk) 20:27, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
